US federal government is a heinous criminal organization very much like the CCP only a somewhat softer. There is no way it can be reformed. The DOJ and the various 3 letter agencies are corrupt beyond belief. The only real goal of the Federal government is to torture oppress and kill the American people. It doesn’t matter at the point if more republicans are elected and an honest ethical constitutionalist president is elected.
The states must make stepwise efforts to appropriate more power and separate from the Feds as well as working with other likeminded states.
You are right, Grumpy. We need leaders. Governors, Senators, State Houses need to step up.
