No. Post Republic. Post Constitution.

It’s whatever the RKBA will endure.

I agree with everything you have posted. I have been posting daily that the only thing that can be done about the catastrophe of the 2020 fraudulent election is state-by-state nullification, non-compliance, and secession from the illegitimate, tyrannical DC junta that has stolen our liberty and freedom. Yet people on this blog continue posting nonsense about “the next election” that reveals a stunning normalcy bias about the reality of our Constitutional Republic ending on January 6th, 2021, a date that will live in infamy. There will never be another legitimate election ever again in the now-defunct former USA.

Bill the Bill is no longer the sleek little document of Schoolhouse Rock fame, but a bloated, diabetic fattie waddling about while taking puffs from an oxygen bottle.

When I read that I immediately thought of Jerry Nadler, (NY-Jabba The Hutt).

No, and the outcome of this will start to become very clear shortly. Their fence is high not enough, nor does it have enough barbed wire and they are way short of troops WTSHTF.

There won’t be any WTSHIFT. Because what can they do to get us to fight? We refused to defend the Constitution and/or the Republic. Instead, we pretend both still exists. Even though the 2020 election was plainly stolen by illegal means and the Constitution rendered null and void. And to add injury to insult, the Republican Party, the Supreme Court, and the Electoral College gave their seal of approval to the Democrats stealing elections in the future. I and they ask again, what will get the Conservatives to fight?

Debate a bill? Are you nuts? Hell, then people might find out what’s in it.

Two and three thousand page bills.... no one knows everything that is in them. It's impossible for any one person to sit down and read the entire things and completely grasp everything in iti. Further they are spending us into oblivion, all to the point of lining the pockets of their friends.

Worst politcal class ever.

No. Don't look now but we've just lost a war with not a single shot fired.

We have a puppet, occupation government. Don't tell anyone I said it, though.

And that’s a problem, because why should any of us respect, obey or otherwise defer to a government that Nadlers on the governed?

We should not.

Jefferson said, “You won’t need the 2nd Amendment until they try to take it away from you”

I think that will be our sign.

Do We Even Have A Republic Anymore?

Our system based on personal freedom and responsibility, a quasi-democratic federal government with very limited and defined powers, and local governments, was a something unique in human history with the possible exception of Switzerland. It was unique because it could only work under certain conditions with a certain type of citizenry. It does not work elsewhere!

“With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people — a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs,...” — John Jay (FEDERALIST No. 2).

"The Constitution of the United States is like those exquisite productions of human industry which ensure wealth and renown to their inventors, but which are profitless in any other hands”. ... “But (although Mexico copied their Anglo-American neighbors' Constitution) they were unable to create or to introduce the spirit and the sense which give it life .... present day Mexico is alternately the victim of anarchy and the slave of military despotism." — Alexis De Tocqueville (Democracy In America).

Are we today the same people we were?

The framers told us what to do about but unfortunately it is different than it was then. The devil has a lot of power.

Yep.

One party is fine being the “bad guys”.. no problem calling for things like amnesty and gun control, etc...

The OTHER party publicly states that they are against these things, but the reality is - when WE are stripped of our rights, DC gains (doesn’t matter what party; they ALL benefit from the spoils..)
That OTHER party there to run distraction... they give us a false hope: that someone there has OUR backs and will do the right thing...

Charlie Brown, aren’t you sick and tired of kicking that football Lucy is holding for you yet?

Normalcy bias has goten a lot of people killed and now will give us one of the hallmarks of totalitarian dictatorshipa - show elections that will mean nothing to the power of those who overthrew the USA.

“...Trump got HUNDREDS of judges seated, ...”

Including 3 on the SCOTUS, and look what good it has done. ALL these are worth nothing, whether they’re being blackmailed or extorted or enriched, those appointments are doing no good.

The communist takeover of the US is nearly complete.

I’m not a quitter, I’m just switching strategies from the existing methods of our once representative republic as the left has done. Campaigning for, contacting and pleading with our representatives is not working.

“The list of laws not enforced is far larger than the ones that are.”

There are more laws than any lawyer can know. If you are living and breathing you have likely committed multiple felonies without knowing. Likely many laws are on the books so the government can put you away if it so desires.

The tax law is the same. There have been multiple studies where the same tax return is given to 5 or 6 IRS offices for review. Each office comes up with a different point of view on the return.

We are a nation of too many laws, selectively enforced, and most about control, not crime.

If we had started throwing out the RINOs when they started their push for amnesty, we could already be Making America Great Again, instead of hanging on by our fingernails.

Enabling Assistant Democrats has gotten us here.

“If we had started throwing out the RINOs when they started their push for amnesty, we could already be Making America Great Again, instead of hanging on by our fingernails.”

Absolutely, and we did with Eric Cantor, just in time or we wouldn’t even still be discussing it. That bought us 6 years.

But never forget, it it was REPUBLICANS who also prevented Amnesty - some directly, by being dead-set against it, others by keeping us in power, which in the Senate means giving us an extra vote to enable the filibuster. In all cases, they are ALWAYS better than the Dems they run against.

n. Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
n. Government by the worst men in the state: opposed to aristocracy, government by the best men.
n. Government by the worst men.

Replace men with people and it sounds similar to an oligarchy.
