Remember how we used to see “upsets” here and there.
Well we don’t see any more of those do we. Because the powers that be didn’t like that. They don’t like not knowing what’s going to happen.
So THEY decide what’s going to happen, and them MAKE it happen.
And as a result, the people are not governing themselves anymore, but instead are being ruled.
“Warm in their seats, they were loath to leave them, or hold them any longer at the will of the people.” - John Adams, A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, Volume I, Letter XVII
Our rulers: I like the sound of that! /s
