The country isn’t a few “conservative” judges away from solvency. The issue that matters is freedom and if you’re not free to choose your government it’s already a country that is firmly against its founding. When the so called elites are able to say, here is a list of people you’re allowed to vote for but you are not allowed to be governed by XYZ person then I want no part. I remember in the Bush days the complaint with Iran was exactly that. They had a council that decided if you’re allowed to be a candidate. Hard pass
