If such a letter managed to get thru a Senator’s front office staff and landed on his/her desk, the first few paragraphs were scanned and then the letter was tossed into the trash. No senator gives a flying f**k about a conservative opinion or the threat of being thrown out of office because how you gonna do that? He has 2-4 years left on his term and all this will be totally forgotten by then.
Todays ‘Perfumed Princes of the Potomac’ are accountable to no one and are starting to act like it more and more.
GOP Congresscritters on The Hill should be thanking Trump everyday because if not for him the GOP base would be burning the stinking rotten GOP to the ground at the moment.
The idea of self-governing republic was a noble, if not novel, idea born of a set of extremely unique circumstances, never to be again repeated. New territory, small, educated population, enlightenment principles, old, corrupt practices and institutions far across a large body of water.
For one, how can anyone, group or individual, that isn't dedicated to spending 100% of its time devoted to liberty hope to have any chance? "Normal" regular people spend 20 years minimum perfect their craft or profession, whether tradesmen, engineer, doctor, etc.
However, during that same period of time, politicians and other sociopaths have been spending days, nights & weekends perfecting the art of lying, stealing, colluding, conspiring and in general, becoming the perfect white-collar criminals. (Along with some traditional blue collar 'rapey' kinds of activities.)
The end result is exactly what we see & experience today; and easily predictable as so many founders foretold. Once the papers were signed, this country was on a trajectory with the very destiny it has achieved. It will required a superhuman effort to restore any semblance. It can be done, because an historical figure manages to pop up every 100 years or so.
But to prevail, one must drop all pretense that what has occurred was somehow a mistake, or error, or failing. It never had a chance against organized efforts to destroy the foundation. It will take constant, unrelenting effort to restore even parts.
