We keep telling ourselves that it can’t be done. The truth is that we’re simply not willing to do what it takes.

We’ve earned our shackles and we know it. We rant and rail against the shackles, but only for so long and so loud as to not be tasked with actually doing anything to remove those shackles.

We are no longer free and sovereign citizens. We are peasants in a neo-feudalism.

Next step down is serfdom.

I agree on many levels - my saying is that we are now slaves, the government is trying to relegate us to pet status, then finally livestock status.

The trouble with the current issue is that if we don't leave some "safety nets" in to prevent a lot of pain and suffering, we may very well lose the House/Senate/WH - only a small percentage of the populace are hard core conservatives so, w/o some successes to prove Trump is working for the People to have it the best possible way, it would be suicide to yank the unraveling thread all the way out and let the seams come apart.

Trump is the first one we have had in a looooooong time that says "We can do it - previous folks either didn't want to, or were too lazy to."
