You make exactly the right point. All these clowns telling us how “those have always been the rules” completely miss the point. If those are the rules, the rules are rigged to protect the corrupt SOBs governing us. They can say it is temperance, to ensure that the whims of the public don’t lead to mob rule... and all that jazz.
But the entire system is corrupt to its very core. Treason is accepted as normal. And these rules are protecting the traitors and sell-outs. So damn the rules. Once we get power, we should change them.
Whut You Said
