Back to basics for a moment. What James Madison called ‘factions’, were groups that promoted their particular interests at the expense of everything else . . . including their country.

Free traders, open borders groups, globalists, labor unions, and of course, the GOP and Rat Parties are all factions, and look out for themselves.

Knowing that factions were inevitable, Madison and the Framers sufficiently divided power in a complex system such that any faction or group of factions found it very difficult to exert majority rule and oppress the minority.

Their keystone was a senate of the states. The Constitution acts on both the people and the states, and both MUST have a seat at the legislative table. Pull this keystone, and, as the past 104 years prove, the whole system falls apart. The Senate is an institution without pride or purpose; its corruption infected the rest of government. The 17A guaranteed rule by faction, and the worst party standing against freedom in American history is the Uniparty.

We can elect good men and women from the Constitution Party, the Independent Party, the Libertarian Party, etc. into eternity and it won’t serve to take one step toward the renewal of free government.

As one branch of government, assuming he survives the ongoing coup d’état, President Trump can do enormous good, but until the Senate is restored, the good will be limited to his term of office.

It is time to get out of the two-dimensional mindset that limits us to the so-called two party system. Many of those who voted for President Trump, those who wished to Make America Great Again, without knowing it, dropped the two party mindset. They are ripe for enlistment into the Convention of States movement which is our only hope (no guarantee) to restore free government. /rant
