If you think elections are going to save the Republic and your rights - you are potentially totally ignorant of what has been corrupted and perverted and if so, I think your faith is misplaced.
There came a time in our own history when it became clear that attempting to appeal to the Crown for redress via any civil means was an exercise in futility. In fact every attempt was met with repeated injury. We will see the same.
To our benefit there were those who saw the inevitability of war long before it became necessary, and they paved the way for a successful defense of liberty because they did not put their faith in a corrupted system to save them, and they prepared the minds and hearts of enough people to endure what was to come.
As if we needed any more evidence, there is no possibility whatsoever of reforming Washington via the institutions that have been corrupted. That is self-evident. A Ruling Class no longer beholden to the rule of law will not allow itself to be beholden to the will of the people it rules either. Instead it will show it’s contempt and disdain for them as it moves to diminish and ignore them. What that means is - elections are moot.
As Adams noted - if we want to keep our rights - we will have to fight for them. He was not talking about civil means. Such is the necessity when dealing with tyranny.
I can admire the tenacity to attempt reform via the ballot box. Just know that some of us are resigned to the inevitability history teaches us time and again.
I didn't say that I have faith that elections will save the Republic. Your comment is ignorant.
Ping me when you aren't turning my comment into a strawman fallacy.
