People can talk and write and deliberate all they want, but the people of this country are the ones in charge.

**************

You must be thinking of the original America. In America 2.0 the people are no longer in charge. The Deep State is.

We’ll rectify that when we set up the next republic which will be based on freedom, liberty, laws, and morality. We’ll have a rare opportunity to fix the leaks in the current system that brought the country down.

We are in charge. If we allow the steal it will be because of that attitude ‘oh ttt get ray won’t let us be in charge any more. Whah wahh.

That’s the new third party wimp party.

Interestingly, "the people" were never really in charge in early America. The founders of this country went to great lengths to MINIMIZE democratic votes for public office holders at the Federal level.

One good example of this was the selection of U.S. Senators by means OTHER THAN voting by the citizenry (most of them were appointed by the state legislatures).

Another example that doesn't get much attention is that in the early years of this country fewer than half the states even had a "popular vote" to select the electors for President of the United States. Again -- in most states, the electors were appointed by the state legislature.
