That just isn't true, my friend. A good many of us presented the known facts to our political reps and encouraged many others to do the same. What else was possible short of a bloody uprising?
IMO, many of those reps who were lawyers and former judges knew full well what was occurring. They also knew very well the political environment would have simply given us Hillary in his place. They and the entire nation were between a rock and a hard space.
That will NEVER happen, because everybody wants to be a patriot, until it's time to do patriot stuff. We're a Nation of pu$$ies who (despite many having taken an oath) refuse to protect and defend the Constitution. This has been the BIGGEST, most direct attack against the Constitution we've EVER seen, and yet, here we sit, thumbs in our noses.
