“We are being overthrown. Its happening because most of our so called representives have gotten to comfortable as if they our part of the royal family.”
It is also because the American people have become comfortable with the nanny state. In the US, the poorest of the poor have government benefits allowing them to live better than the middle class in most countries. A third or fourth generation family living in government housing has free food an health care as well as subsidized or free housing. Their utilities are also subsidized including free telephone service, cable TV and internet. They likely own one or more large screen TV’s and may own an automobile. Their children are educated at no cost by the government, assuming they bother to attend school. Society makes no demands on them, they are not accountable for raising their children or how they spend the largess given to them by the state. These people have no incentive to lead productive lives and they have every incentive to vote for more free benefits. When your highest aspiration is a roll in the hay or some blow, the chains of the state are not noticeable. Freedom to the is indulging in the pleasures of the flesh with no repercussions. For this reason, the left is extremely passionate about free birth control and unlimited abortion.
That is the best analysis of our situation I have seen in a long time. You are spot on. I’m cracking open a beer in your honor, and would like the permission to paraphrase you at the dinner table next Easter Sunday. I have a future niece that works for NPR, and has no problem espousing her nonsensical views. This will surely add some fuel to the fire!!!

Good point. Its also very hard to “break the cycle” once it is started. Then you end up with Generations of dum dums dependent on the g.mint. They create to problem and then come up with solutions (more spending and more taxes) to fix the problem.
Until finally it is unsustainable. <-——We are here
