Term limits isn't a total solution but would be a good start.

(To prevent confusion, this essay imagines how we might change America’s current trajectory.)
Some said it started with the circulation online of quotations from the 46th installment of the Federalist Papers. In Federalist 46, James Madison declared that the “ultimate authority” under the proposed Constitution of the United States “resides in the people alone.”
“Let us not,” he wrote, “insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion, that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they are in actual possession, than the debased subjects of arbitrary power would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors.”
Nor should we, he continued, “insult them with the supposition” that they could “ever reduce themselves…by a blind and lame submission” to a “long train of insidious measures.”
Others pointed to more contemporary promptings, such as the mandated vaccination of children against COVID-19. Parents recoiled as the experimental mRNA substances being utilized were suspected not only of virulent side effects but of having produced an “antibody-dependent enhancement” reaction. The reference was to a worse-case immunological scenario in which those receiving a vaccine become more rather than less vulnerable to viral infection.
At the same time, due to the hostility of the Biden administration to fossil fuel, the price of gas had risen to $6.50 a gallon in some parts of the U.S. The tragedy of an elderly Michigan couple who died during the winter of 2021-22 because they could no longer afford to heat their home had been eulogized in a hit song, “Blizzard,” by the popular balladeer, Bob Dylan.

While others quoted:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a designto reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Isn’t it too soon to say we survived?
Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.
The nation as designed and defined is not surviving.
Unless there is a massive turn around there will no doubt still be a nation of sorts but it will be the United States Of America in name only.
As the democrats “fundamental Transformation” of the nation progresses America will become more like Cuba, Venezuela, and Cold War era
USSR and East Germany and less like the constitutional republic of our fathers and forefathers.
America in not out in the clear yet. Joe is so demented that Obozo an his White House Staff are calling all the shots.
The “fundamental transformation” of America is fully bipartisan in nature. We saw this just a couple days ago when the GOP helped clear the Senate calendar so that the Marxist Green New Deal could pass before Christmas.
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,”
Having the “right” (whatever that means) vs making the sacrifices and taking action “to alter or abolish it” are very different things.
It always amazes me how much crap people will put up with before hanging the bastards. But in a way it’s also understandable when you have to go against an all powerful vicious despot.
Venezuela, N Korea, Cuba... are perfect examples of this. Soon, perhaps us too?
Complete fairytale, especially this part “...shortly before a bipartisan congressional delegation called upon President Biden at the White House.” Bipartisanship is dead.
Joe needs to wear a smock as Schlitzie the Pinhead had on. Schlitzie was a male, passed off as a female, as persons with his condition have no bowel control.
It made it easier to change his diaper as Biden also needs his diaper changed.
They all accumulate too much power and come to think of themselves as royalty and everyday citizens as irritants.
Term limits isn't a total solution but would be a good start.
America will not survive the third world invasion. As founded, America is done. Prepare accordingly. We ARE a third world s hole.
It’s not necessarily Ron Klain...Its also Jill Biden, and likely Harris. The bad blood etc. and dump Harris talk is a ruse. There has been no “whistleblower(s)” to confirm anything that has been asserted in this regard.
The real question should be who is running Ron Klain ?
George Soros? The Chinese? The Russians?
Then there is the SES, and EVERY cabinet appointee.
