This is very good, and I commend the effort.
The reality is, they really don’t care what us little people do. They really don’t. If the GOP loses, THEY still win.
They’ve (both parties) been in power for generations. They go to the same schools, they inter-marry, they give each other jobs/positions of power, are privy to insider information which they use to enrich themselves, and perpetuate their power and control decade after decade.
THEY have the power and control. What power do the people have?
If the people ever come to this same realization, I suspect there may be power in their large numbers. Without resorting to violence, the most potent form of resistance I can think of would be a massive withdrawal from the system. When the masses don’t “produce” for them, or “buy” their products (i.e. drug operations, etc.), their revenue dries up.
Become what they hate: independent. Grow one’s own food, etc. Did you know in the old Soviet Union, they were NOT ALLOWED to have their own personal gardens or to raise chickens to provide food for themselves and their families? Why? Gov’t control. If the Gov’t controls the food supply, they keep their “managed slaves” under their control. Same deal with healthcare.
I’m just rambling on here, talking out some possible thoughts. YMMV ; )
What would happen if enough farmers like myself took a year long vacation?I’d just bale enough hay to feed my horses and the rest of the land would go into cover crops.
It should have been blatantly clear to anyone with a brain when Orin Hatch declared that Ted Kennedy was his very best friend.
I suggested after the last election that Tea Party Conservatives should change their party affiliation in order to deny the Republican Party Majority Status. If they had done that then those unaffiliated congress people could have actually had some bargaining power, instead they joined the GOPe, reelected Boehner and Mitch, and became enemies of We The People.
You know this is really weird but these were my EXACT thoughts today!!! HOW COULD WE ALL starve the beast!!!!
Most capable of critical thought have long understood those well connected insiders in D.C. don't care who is elected, as long as it's one of their insiders. Democrat or Republican, it does not matter. That's for the peons to fret about. They win as long as an insider, other than Trump is elected.
And I agree, there are ways to get very creative and bail out from and undermine from this corrupt system.
These are good ramblings. People can learn things in libraries :- )
