The last time we got the government we deserved was 1776 - and it wasn’t through peaceful means.
The whole “peaceful transition” idea turns out to have been a pipe dream. One way or another, the powers-that-be remain in power. They do it via Manchurian candidates, fake scandal, impeachment and forced resignation, outright election rigging, or even assassination when necessary.
Another 1776 is the only way to stop them - but for that we would need a thousand Donald Trumps, and we only have the one.
Sometimes you only need one.
And the terrible determination of good men who only wanted to live their lives and thrive.
But they were pushed too far.
I fear tough times are upon us and we will be tested to see if we are found wanting or able to step up.
There is another way: secession.
