“but HOW? Almost everything we have tried has failed in one way or another.”

Maybe it’s time to try a tactic that has been proven time and time again to work very well, but that we haven’t actually bothered to try?

I’m talking about MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.

Closest thing we’ve seen to that recently was in Canada with the Freedom Convoy, which was quite effective, but as with any mass civil disobedience, the state responded harshly, so if we want to do this, we should be prepared for the same treatment.

“I’m talking about MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.”

Economic spending cutbacks are 100% legal and can be carried on for years.

It only takes one guy to stop a tyrant:

“I’m the Constitution around here now.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huey_Long

“On September 8, 1935, Long traveled to the State Capitol to pass a bill that would gerrymander the district of an opponent, Judge Benjamin Pavy, who had held his position for 28 years. At 9:20 p.m., just after passage of the bill effectively removing Pavy, Pavy’s son-in-law, Carl Weiss, approached Long, and, according to the generally accepted version of events, fired a single shot with a handgun from four feet (1.2 m) away, striking Long in the torso. Long’s bodyguards, nicknamed the “Cossacks” or “skullcrushers”, then fired at Weiss with their pistols, killing him. An autopsy found Weiss had been shot at least 60 times. Long ran down a flight of stairs and across the capitol grounds, hailing a car to take him to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital. He was rushed to the operating room where surgery closed perforations in his intestines but failed to stop internal bleeding. Long died at 4:10 a.m. on September 10, 31 hours after being shot.”
