Yes. But we’re a banana republic now.

No; we haven't for a while. The 2020 election just made it undeniably obvious.

We are a failed Corporation ... Look it up. They would like to keep this quiet.

What if we made a law and no one enforced?

That’s one hell of a joke. The list of laws not enforced is far larger than the ones that are. Couple major examples:

Election fraud
Border security and immigration Bide.
Chinese link
Clinton emails
Antifa / BLM

The real GOP has never had control of Congress.

There are Democrats, and then there are the traitor RINOs within the GOP.

Imagine all the things that could have been done during Trump's first 2 years in office were it not for that slug, Ryan.

There is no way forward from the political catastrophe of the fraudulent election of 2020 except state-by-state nullification, non-compliance, and secession from the illegitimate, tyrannical junta that has stolen our liberty and freedom. The 245 year old Constitutional Republic formerly known as the USA has ceased to exist.

The Bible tells us to obey the law, however it is quite clear that we no longer live within the “rule of law”.

President Donald Trump will be forever honored as The Last Legitimate President of the United States.

This post-electoral nation is nothing more than a banana republic.

The idea of a republic is that the people, through their representatives, get to make the laws that govern the country, but it appears that’s no longer a thing.

Where has he been for the last couple of decades?

"President Donald Trump will be forever honored as The Last Legitimate President of the United States."

Truer words were never spoken.

The republic died at Appomattox.

Concluding paragraphs:

So, do we even live in a Republic anymore? We don’t get to make our own laws. Our betters effectively make them for us. What is written in the United States Code means nothing if it is not enforced, and we don’t get to have laws we like enforced. It sounds like we are now something, but a “citizen” is not it.

One thing is for certain, though. This is not sustainable. And the elite seems to sense this can’t go on without a massive backlash, judging from how they cower from the American people behind soldiers and barbed wire. If you break the social contract with red America, if you decide to withdraw from the Constitution, you better be prepared to find someone else to feed, fuel, and fight for your regime. Count us out.
