Our Declaration noted that power is aggressive, and liberty is passive. “Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.

It is on display at this thread, for the President of the United States sponsors an invasion by millions across our southern border. He rewrites laws as he pleases. He charges executive branch agencies with silencing his political enemies, by any means necessary. Tyranny isn’t over the horizon, it is here and must be dealt with. Elections alone cannot reverse our course.

I wonder if some will have to wake up in a federal reeducation camp before they recognize the approaching end of our once republic, and that we must abolish a Form to which we are accustomed if we are not to terminate in utter slavery.

The Founders didn’t have constitutional means to right the wrongs of George III. They were forced to make horrible war. We are not, IF we exercise the peaceful means the Framers bequeathed. And our job is much easier than theirs, for the only Form that needs abolishing is the popular election of senators.

I assume you know how to count. Their side now outnumbers our side. There isn't going to be a peaceful righting of this ship.

The Financial threat we are facing will only be solved if entitlements are scaled back. What member of the Free Sh*t Army is going to give up their unearned money?

They will see us at the polls, and they will win.

"And our job is much easier than theirs, for the only Form that needs abolishing is the popular election of senators."

On average, state assembly members, their favorite few constituents (contributors) and their local government associates are pretty much commies. State and local government interests violate constitutional freedoms and hunger more for debt/revenues and pork any way that they can take them.

So as to the posted proposition,...

"“what infringement of our natural and constitutional rights, or other high crime against our republic, could compel you"

We see that for the threat that it is against our U.S. Constitution and the people of the United States.
