Great article that adds a level of succinctness to what anyone with two eyes and a brain already knows.
But it doesn’t answer the most pertinent and obvious questions. What are we going to do about it, and when?
Our representatives have proven themselves to be corrupt, incompetent, or both.
Our courts have essentially decided to stay out.
Our voices in protest are squelched by the media.
Our “intelligence” and “justice” agencies now apparently work against the citizens rather than on behalf of them.
A few years ago, a slightly more naive me would have insisted that the military would act on their oaths and intervene as is their sworn duty, but it seems that they are either too busy on the freeway to wokeness, or they are just as corrupt as the rest of our governments. Duty is such a cisnormative patriarchical construct and we can’t have that in our progressive utopia, right?
I’d like to think the rank and file are still patriots and just led by corrupt upper echelons but that appears to be more and more of a pipe dream.
We are being forced to choose between capitulating to corruption and tyranny, or resisting with the only powers we have left. Increasingly, the only power we have left that would make any difference is what the 2nd amendment defines for us.
I fear that if we wait for the caboose at the end of this long train of abuses, we’ll be too late to do anything.
But, on the plus side, it sure gives one a fresh perspective into what drove our forefathers to craft the Declaration and risk everything against the most powerful military of their time.
Judgment from God or civil war are the only remedies left to us.
