Political Party Realignment.

 

   Like a lot of Americans, I've often wished we could break loose from the 'two party' paradigm and get some other options.  But, since before the start of the 20th Century, we've been stuck with the Democrats and Republicans.  Sure...  Other parties and Independents run.  But they're never taken seriously, and become literal 'also rans'.

   But, historically, we actually haven't been stuck with the SAME two parties.  The names have been retained, but the parties have been substantially redefined from time to time.

   After the War Between the States, the then-upstart Republican Party enjoyed a long period of dominance.  Originally socially progressive, and inclined toward centralization of government authority. 

   The Democratic Party, decimated by the War, became the catch-all for anyone who wasn't Republican.  The common ground being the general notion that government should be used to do 'good' things (rather than merely policing against 'bad' things).   In industrial, mining, port areas, it was essentially the Worker's Party, an extension of labor unions...  Among Northeastern bluebloods, it became a party for socially progressive bleeding-heart types...  In the South, it was the party of social conservatism, supporting segregation and opposing the teaching of evolution and such in public schools.

   A sort of messy consolidation and redefinition of the Democratic Party came in the 1960s.  The campaign of Northeastern liberal (by the standards of the time) Yankee Democrat John Kennedy needed the Southern Democrats on-board for the Presidential Election, which was a tough sell with them being almost diametrically opposed to him on social issues.  So they put Good Ol' Boy Texas Democrat LBJ on the ticket as VP.  He quickly realized that, instead of suppressing the Black vote, as Southern Democrats had been doing since Reconstruction, they should be encouraging it so the Democrats could essentially buy these votes on the cheap.

   While Johnson did embrace pandering to the Black vote and championed socialist programs, he was swayed to indulge the Military Industrial Complex in Indochina, and this bit him in the arse.  He went from winning a massive landslide in his 1964 Presidential election to having dismal approval numbers by late in his term.  He opted not to seek re-election, which lead to a veritable train wreck of a Democratic National Convention.  And, ultimately, the election of a Republican President.  (Nixon.)

   You'd think that the chaos of the '60s would have left the Democrats in tatters...  But, having shed some of their more conservative players in the fracas, they emerged as a largely re-imagined entity.

   The party of segregation and social conservatism became the home party for Blacks and minorities in general, as well as feminism and homosexual activism.

   The party which got the US into WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam somehow became identified with hippies, peace, and love.

   The party which had advocated State sovereignty now supported the Federal Government having authority over almost everything.

   Basically, they'd co-opted the Republican positions on most issues and become an effective (albeit originally moderate) Marxist power-mongering machine.

   The Republicans found themselves in the role of anti-Marxists...  But they didn't want to be labelled troglodytes or accused of reviving McCarthyism, so they eventually wound-up being defined as slightly less Marxist than the Democrats, and ultimately just token opposition.  RINOs...  Republican In Name Only.

   This was a comfortable arrangement.  The Democrats constantly moved to the Left.  First gradually, but accelerating as they went.  This endeared them to the radicals, malcontents, and criminals, while scaring conservative Americans into supporting Republicans, who seemed to at least be trying to tap the brakes on the race to Communism. 

   By the start of the 21st Century, the pretense of the two party system was failing.  Democrats and Republicans were virtually indistinguishable from one-another, policy-wise.  By 2008, to regain some semblance of relevance, the Democrats went to DEI candidates.  The Republicans, terrified of offending anyone, let the first 'Black' Democrat presidential nominee run effectively unopposed to two victories.

   The parties were going to continue the same ploy in 2016, with the Republicans taking a dive for the new Democrat DEI nominee.  But Americans were getting fed-up by that point.  Famous, charismatic, billionaire entrepreneur Donald Trump hit the scene as a populist newcomer.  He figuratively kicked over the tables of the GOP primary season and became the nominee, much to the Establishment's chagrin.  And, despite lack of support from the Republican Party higher-ups, he gloriously won the Presidency.

   Funny thing is that Trump, objectively speaking, is a political 'moderate'.   Many of his positions are fairly close to those stated by recent Democrat Presidents.  But, because he's the straight, White MAN who denied the 'feminists' the coronation of Queen Hillary as the first woman President, the Democrats developed TDS: Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Irrationally hating and opposing Trump, even when doing so was self-destructive, became the mission of the Democratic Party.  (Assisted by a considerable number of RINOs.)

   Despite the blind obstructionism, Trump managed to have three successful years.  Shrugging-off idiotic attempts to scandalize and impeach him, he managed to get the economy back on-track, including manufacturing, which his predecessor had declared a lost cause.  He got illegal immigration dialed way down.  He negotiated peace agreements around the world.

   As election year 2020 rolled-in, the TDS Democrats (and RINO allies) were getting desperate.  They pulled out all the stops, willing to literally burn a good part of America to the ground to make Trump look bad before the election.  Shut down the booming US economy and inflicted misery on Americans wherever they could.  All to make it seem plausible that disgruntled Americans would vote-out an incumbent President whose actual popularity had grown considerably since he was elected.  (He GAINED over 11 Million votes over his term according to the official count.)

   Whether by hook or crook, the TDS Democrats managed to beat Trump in 2020.  But that seemed to be the apogee of their capabilities.

   The Democrat Administration aggressively pushed their Marxist agenda, oblivious to its harmful effects on the country and most of its people.  (Trendy academics and Hollyweirdos were impressed though.) 

   Even with the Bad Orange Man defeated and fading away, they couldn't move beyond their TDS, even as their blatant lawfare attacks on Trump started backfiring on them.

   Meanwhile, the GOP was fragmented.  The old guard Neocon RINOs had been exposed as Uniparty shills.  The new faction of Republicans espousing Trump's MAGA (Make America Great Again) philosophy were casting-about for a new front-man...

   Then ol' Trump came back.  The Democrats didn't seem to understand that the Orange SOB was fueled by TDS venom.  They impeached him twice.  Threw dozens of bogus civil and criminal charges at him in every jurisdiction Lefty enough to hear the cases with DEI prosecutors dimwitted enough to file them.  They tried to sway the GOP primaries against him in favor of a Neocon alternative.  They assigned cut-rate security and let him GET SHOT.  And he just kept shrugging it off and getting stronger.

   Perhaps more importantly, he started building a MAGA coalition.  A team of political Superfriends.  An all-American, young, sharp-as-a-tack USMC vet with hillbilly cred for VP.   A brilliant, young, former Democrat Congresswoman and Presidential candidate with legit military cred.  An even younger, and possibly more brilliant business wunderkind of Hindu Indian descent who'd been an early competitor in the 2024 GOP primaries...  And, perhaps most stunning of all, former Democrat, then Independent Presidential candidate, heir to the legendary Kennedy political legacy, RFK, Jr. suspended his own campaign to join forces with MAGA.  And, as if that weren't enough, super-billionaire (literal richest man on Earth), rocket-man, and destined God-Emperor of Barsoom Elon Musk enthusiastically came on board.  All these augmented by first-term Trump allies like Dr. Ben Carson, Kayleigh McEnany, and others...

   And here's where the Democrats' TDS blinders and DEI policies derailed them.  When circumstances stuck them with an incoherent, shambling, geriatric, White, male mummy as nominee in 2020, they had to offset him with a 'woman of color'.  They grabbed the first one handy, without noticing that she was a borderline-retarded psychopath.  Too busy figuring out ways to 'fortify' a Trump defeat to worry about developing a strong President/VP ticket on their side.

   By 2024, the Weekend At Bernie's skit with Biden had worn thin, and all attempts to torpedo Trump had failed, so they were going to have to actually compete with him for the White House.  So, despite Biden having been allowed to sweep the DNC primaries and clench the nomination, a palace coup forced him to step down as Nominee...  But the old goat got the last laugh by endorsing his cackling idiot of a VP in his stead. 

   So it was Trump leading a veritable platoon of positivity against the weakest link of a failed Administration who had nothing but TDS and questionable 'celebrity' endorsements going for her. 

   Even the Amish, who have built a generations-old lifestyle out of minding their own damned business, came out in droves for Trump.

   So the Trump decisively won the presidency by Electoral College AND the popular vote.  Republicans gained control of the Senate, and held the House of Representatives.  He flipped some states that went blue last time, and substantially narrowed the gap in 'deep blue' areas.  He also made dramatic inroads into demographics that had previously been Democrat-owned. 

   MAGA has redefined the Republican Party.  Pushing-aside the warmongering Neocons and sellout RINOs.  (It is interesting watching the smarter and more politically nimble holdovers from the pre-MAGA GOP adjust.)  The new version of the GOP is about getting actual results on issues that were formerly just lip-serviced, without cowering and backing-down every time somebody  screams false claims of "racism", "misogyny", "homophobia", etc.  


   Now what becomes of the Democratic Party?  Decades of no real opposition from the RINOs left them racing each-other Left until they shot right past rationality without even seeing the sign posts.  It appears that, as the older players remaining in the party have been slipping into senility and/or struggling to appear 'with-it' with new generations, the younger ranks have been filled-out by poorly vetted DEI hires who think they win by being the most Woke, rather than actually accomplishing anything.

   Once they realize that lopping off their hair and having screaming toddler temper tantrums on Instagram or TikTok isn't going to get them anywhere, perhaps they'll step back and realize that, just maybe, they are the ones who've run off the rails.  But that is a lot to expect from people who've rarely been constrained by reality.

   MAGA is not a weird aberration.  Many women want to have husbands and families.  Very few will ever personally want third trimester abortions.  Hardly any want to become 'men' or compete against 'transgender women' in sports...  Real middle / working class Americans have to buy gasoline and groceries, and aren't too concerned about the opinions of sleazy showbiz 'icons'...  Most Americans are fine with peacefully coexisting with people who are different than ourselves, so long as they don't attack us for being different from them!

   To be relevant, the Democrats are going to have to move back toward the center.  Which (horror of horrors) means becoming MAGA-light.  But that would require political finesse we haven't seen from Democrats since Bill Clinton's days.

   But they'll have to come up with something.  DEI isn't going to be much of a sell as MAGA is happy to welcome the best and brightest people, including those with all levels of melanin and without regard to gender.  Continuing to hire incompetent leftovers because they check the right affirmative action boxes will not build a winning team...  And DTS isn't going to be very useful after Trump gets through another term without stuffing anyone into concentration camps or having women shackled barefoot into kitchens, then rides off into the sunset.

I Stand Corrected!

 

   Back in January of '21, I declared that if Trump, with all the power and info available to a sitting President, couldn't defend the election from blatantly obvious fraud, there was no chance for any political solution.  How could Trump 2024 have a snowball's chance in Hell versus a Marxist regime that had not only gotten away with stealing the election once, but had four years to entrench their cheating operations into the system? 

   The only way Trump could get back in would be if the Marxists wanted him to.  (Which is still a possibility.)

   But there was a possibility I partly overlooked.  While I noted that the people who stole the machinery of American government were utterly incapable of operating it, I didn't realized just how quickly they could put themselves upside down in a ditch.

   And the poison they dumped into their own well was so obvious all-along:  DEI...  Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies.  Basically a re-branding of the failed Affirmative Action nonsense from decades past.

   The problem with selecting for DEI is that you are not selecting for rational criteria like talent, skill, experience, or even competence.

   After achieving election success with their first Presidential DEI nomination in '08, the Democrats went all-in on the concept.  Sticking themselves with horrible nominees time and again.

   But it wasn't just at the Presidential level.  Democrat DEI hiring stuck them with incompetent bunglers up and down the political food chain.  From engaging in backfiring lawfare that restored Trump's street cred as Feared Adversary of the Deep State to screwing-up election shenanigans to the point that anti-cheat rules were actually implemented.  DEI foot soldiers stupidly did the impossible, and made Trump 2024 a success!

The Mythical Polio Narrative.

 

Preface:

   Internet discussion seems to be prone to false absolutism.  Either you buy the entire 'official story' without question, or you must be a True Believer in some backwards, paranoid, tinfoil hat crackpottery that puts sane people at risk.  Right?

   Wrong.  You can actually understand how viruses, immunity, and inoculation work, while strongly doubting the 'authorities' about which diseases are caused by certain pathogens, what treatment and preventative measures are called for, and if some diseases even exist!

   Further, when we observe patterns of error and misrepresentation in science and medicine, past and present, it doesn't always mean there is intentional deception for evil purposes.  Sometimes it may just be human nature to over-report the dramatic and sensational. 

   Since it's so difficult for some people to make sense of the maelstrom of information (and disinformation) of the current Global Panic-Demic, let's look back a few generations at the Doomsday Disease that set the template the folks in power are trying to apply now...

Polio:  The Official Story.

   The surviving GI Generation and older Boomers remember the Horrors of Polio.  First-wave GenXers heard the tales from our elders, saw the references in old movies, newsreels, and in US History textbooks. 

   It was a nightmare!  Even as America was rebuilding prosperity after WWII, it seemed that half the country was being laid to waste by the dreadful plague that had children hobbling around with leg braces and crutches, and thousands condemned to a Living Hell in the steampunk coffin known as the Iron Lung...

   But then secular saint Jonas Salk developed a vaccine, and the dread curse was over just like that.  SCIENCE!  Modern Medicine for the WIN!  How dare you even think of questioning the wisdom of vaccinating everybody for everything all the time from then on?!

Looking a Little Closer.

   The meaninglessness of case numbers, over-blowing the situation:  Even now, when you look up the polio epidemic, you'll get scary-looking case numbers, references to "paralysis", and images of crippled children and wards crammed full of dozens, maybe hundreds of poor souls vegetating in iron lungs.  Most people don't go beyond this first impression to learn that the bulk of polio cases were non-paralytic.  And even those who did get the braces, crutches, and iron lungs usually recovered.  Yes, some people were crippled long-term, or even died.  But the vast majority came through okay, if they got sick at all.  Reported polio deaths at the peak of the worst outbreak year came to 0.002% of the US population.  The actual threat never came close to the terror associated with it.

   The vaccine salvation...  Polio cases in America dropped by roughly 90% between the peak in 1952 and 1957, which is often cited as conclusive proof that Salk's vaccine, and vaccines in-general, work miracles.  But there's an obvious problem with this assertion.  The vaccine wasn't announced until '55, and was just entering wide distribution in '57...  AFTER THE EPIDEMIC WAS OVER. 

   So, if it wasn't the Magic Jab that vanquished the Polio Menace, what did?


Normal Course of Events:

   Only in Hollywood movies do viral epidemics sweep across nations and obliterate everyone.  In reality, they tend to run their course and essentially burn-out, returning to endemic levels when natural immunity develops in a sufficient percentage of the population to inhibit spread of the infection.  Given that the vast majority of people infected with polio don't even get sick, it's likely that enough people already had been immunized by contracting (and beating) the virus without even knowing it.


Diagnostic Bias and Reclassification:

   When the medical authorities declare an epidemic, enormous pressure falls upon doctors not to let cases of the plague slip through the cracks, lest the collective 'fight against the disease' be hampered!  So every patient who had any symptoms that might resemble some form of polio became a 'polio case'.   On top of that, media-induced paranoia will drive people with minor maladies they would likely have ignored otherwise to go to the doctor, who would err on the side of caution and list them as polio cases as well.  Lab tests don't help nearly as much as you'd think, since it is possible to have polio virus in your body while your symptoms are caused by something else entirely.

   Around the same time the Salk vaccine was introduced, the AMA did an 'about-face' on polio diagnostic guidelines.  Instead of encouraging doctors to label every case of the shakes as polio, they were instructed to diagnose what would previously have been polio cases as Acute Flaccid Paralysis, Aseptic Meningitis (for what was previously non-paralytic polio), and a long list of other diseases.  There wasn't so much a huge decline in sick people, as roughly the same number of sick people, just no longer labeled as 'polio victims'.

Conclusions:

   Does the fact that the vaccines didn't end the polio epidemic mean they don't work?  No.  Given that the early versions were based on straightforward immunization through inoculation, they probably did work.  They just weren't really needed.  And, thanks to the undue polio panic and a hell of a public relations effort, little thought was given to the cost/benefit of vaccination.

   Whether or not vaccines cause autism and other conditions which have been rising exponentially as the number and frequency of vaccinations has been increasing is a discussion I'll leave for another time.  But there is no denying that there is a cost associated with the polio vaccination programs, both in treasure and in fully-documented reactions and deaths.  Vaccine proponents argue that severe reactions are extremely rare, and it is worth the risk to protect the patient, and the population as a whole.

   Since the polio virus is actually a gut infection, primarily spread by ingestion of contaminated fecal residue, the much-vaunted "eradication of polio" is probably more a result of improving sanitation standards than vaccination programs.  (Plumbers work miracles, doctors get the credit.) 

   With the spread vectors of the virus virtually eliminated by the marvel of indoor plumbing and the plague status of the disease having been more imagination than contagion to begin-with, the cost of polio vaccination is balanced by almost no benefit whatsoever.

   Yet, not only is our indoctrination to the Mythical Polio Narrative cult so strong that we keep injecting generations of Americans with the pointless (and at least slightly dangerous) drug, but we're also enthusiastic about pumping an ever-expanding array of potions into people, so long as they are called "vaccines" (the term seems to have been re-defined far beyond basic inoculation) and endorsed by the same 'authorities' that pushed the polio narrative.

Let the Rebellion Begin.

 

   So the American republic has fallen, and Marxist criminals are wearing its bloody pelt in a macabre circus clown show pretending to be a government.  They've discarded all subtlety and are openly trying to destroy every vestige of traditional America and Western Civilization.  There's no reasoning or negotiating with them.  Anyone spewing nonsense about TRUMP 2024, Patriot Party, or other political countermeasures are either clinical dullards or actively working for the Enemy.  2020 proved once and for all that elections are pointless.  There is no Next Time.

   The US Military had a sworn duty to prevent this.  But the top brass are apparently in the thrall of the Global Marxists, just like the other politicians.  So that just leaves the original American militia.  Self-armed, disorganized, and thus highly unpredictable.  Much is made of the uncountable millions of firearms in the hands of an unknown legion of gun owners across America.  But keep in mind that this isn't some Third World backwater populated by Luddites.  When shit gets real, we can do WAY better than just chunking little pieces of lead at the tyrants, or cobbling together the odd IED.

   As I said last time, the open Internet isn't really the place to discuss refreshing the Tree of Liberty in the manner prescribed by Thomas Jefferson. 

   We might also want to keep in mind that a full-on civil war likely plays into the hands of the Global Marxists, no matter which side comes out on top.  That's probably why they seem hellbent to provoke one.  A fragmented America in smoldering ruins serves their purposes well.

   One thing we have in our favor is that the people who have stolen the machinery of American government are utterly incapable of operating it.  Kind of like kindergartners taking over their school bus.  They'll inevitably crash into a ditch or worse.

   We have to cope with the collapse of the criminal 'Government'.  Try not to get caught in the death throes of the cumbersome monster while doing what we can to hasten its demise.

   First thing we have to get through our heads is that THERE IS NO VALID LAW ANYMORE.  MAGA folks have been bragging about how they are peaceful and law-abiding while BLM and ANTIFA hunted whites for sport, burned cities, looted, and vandalized with glee.  Last ones playing by the rules gets curb-stomped in a street fight, and kinda' deserves it!

   Understand that the bulk of enforcement is LATERAL.  It's usually fairly easy to get around cops and Little Tin Gods. It is the people in the neighborhood who think it's their 'civic duty' to report violations to the (now illegitimate) authorities that get you busted.  Or the ones with a personal beef who use the cowardly tactic of ratting you out.  The former need to be convinced that they have no duty to a lawless faux-government.  The latter reintroduced to the tradition of Snitches Getting Stitches.  Both need to be excluded from participation in your beneficial activities until they become trustworthy.

   Make the Marxist state expend every bit of resources to ENFORCE their edicts.  Give them zero cooperation.  EVEN IF YOU HAPPEN TO AGREE WITH A PARTICULAR POLICY! 

   Avoid every bit of taxation you can on every level.  Starve the Government of income.  Work under the table.  Trade in kind, barter, and use other non-Federal Reserve mediums of exchange.  Grow / make your own.  Operate without official registration, permits, inspections, license, etc.  Support others doing so. 

   Take advantage of every payout you can milk from the 'Government'.  Just do not allow yourself to become dependent on this income. (Dump it into ammo stockpiles or something.)  Forget about your pride!  It's not about accepting handouts.  It's about draining the Marxist state of resources they would otherwise use to harm Americans!  Identify as a Black Hispanic Transsexual Pagan Refugee from Ork if that'll get you a bigger payment from Uncle Sucker.  We've been getting taxed half to death to support everyone else on Earth for generations.  Don't feel an iota of remorse for trying to get as much back as you can now before the system implodes!

   Create disinformation and confusion wherever you can.  Multiple identities.  Sock puppet accounts.  Some with stats and views that diverge far from your own.  Think of it as a data smokescreen.  Don't make it easy for the Enemy to know for sure where, who, what, or how many you are.

   This is a form of asymmetric warfare.  It's less about winning 'battles' than making the Enemy's 'victories' cripplingly expensive.  There are countless ways to do that.  Get creative people.

.

OpSec in Post-Republic America.

   Okay.  Trump and his supposed White Hats have failed/betrayed us.  All this talk of TRUMP 2024 and / or a new political party is irrational since elections clearly do not matter anymore.  There is no political solution.  And the courts had their chance and refused to take it...

   So, having been robbed of the soap box, ballot box and the jury box, many Americans are beginning to call for the cartridge box.  After all, the primary point of the Second Amendment is to secure American liberty against tyranny.  Cuckservatives who were horrified by the "violence" of a minor folderol at the Capitol on January 6th might curl up into the fetal position and start sobbing at the notion of doing what the original American patriots did to found the nation, but there are a whole lot of enraged folks who aren't so lily-livered.

This was written over 20 years ago.
We may be outgrowing that stage.

   I'm not going to tell you to "hold the line" or "trust the PLAN", since the plan was evidently to keep us all pacified while the Marxists assassinated the republic.  There's hardly any point to having the right to keep and bear arms if you aren't willing to shoot some motherfuckers who need it desperately.  But don't be idiots.

   There are some contingency plans that should not be discussed on non-secure channels!  There is no real anonymity on the Internet.  Don't use it for any communications that will get you targeted by the 'Government'.  Seriously.  You'd do well to imagine the director of the FBI is looking over your shoulder as you type that BitChute or Gab comment.  (Hey, Chris. Hope Helen and the kids are well!)

   Also keep in-mind that, if you hold a militia meeting with more than three people, it's likely that at least one of them is reporting to GovCo.  Even if you've known the guys for years.  Remember that the whole Ruby Ridge tragedy started with the Feds trying to bully a local rube into being a spy for them.  Damned-near all 'terrorist' groups in America wind-up including (usually being run by) alphabet-soup agents provocateur.

   If you feel the need to do anything drastic, the smaller your circle of operators is, the better.  And a lone SOB who doesn't rat himself out playing games with the media or 'authorities' is damned hard to thwart.

Bright Side of Post-Republic America.

 

   So, the BadOrangeMan gave us a few years' look at what the nation could be like if run by a reasonably competent executive who at least pretended to want America to succeed.  Pretty cool, wasn't it?  But there was one worrisome aspect to the MAGA heyday...

  We founded the TEOTWAWKI Doomstead back in the last century.  We thought it was a comfortable distance from the nearest Southern metropolis.  But the housing boom continued and our Podunk, rural county started being targeted by real estate developers who looked-out over the cow pastures and cornfields and envisioned oceans of ticky-tacky McMansions.  And, of course, or local Tin God politicians and bureaucrats imagined all those new residents paying taxes, not to mention the kickbacks from the aforementioned developers...

   So everything started getting paved.  The Sheriff's department went from Andy and Barney to a veritable standing army.  They started putting in municipal water.  Curbside garbage pickup.  All kinds of nonsense hillbillies have no use for.  Of course, the hicks wouldn't be around much longer.  Rising property value evaluations would soon drive their taxes up and them out!

   Thank goodness for the big economic crash in the Dubya/Obama terms!   Can't easily get rid of the pavement. But the water pipe they laid-out got recollected before it was buried.  (Really shoulda' swiped some of that. But didn't think of it at the time.) The garbage pickup thing evaporated too.  I had been afraid that our isolated doomstead was going to be surrounded by city slickers.  But it got to stay woods and cows and corn a while longer.

   With Trump's push for American energy independence and economic growth, it looked like the menace of Urban Sprawl might be on the horizon again, even though the Democrats had managed to turn the nearest metropolis into a ghetto over the past couple decades.  But, thanks to the fall of the republic and the inevitable collapse of civilized infrastructure that must follow, the whole Exburbanite thing will be untenable. 

   Unlike some men, I don't particularly want to watch the world burn... But, if I must, I'd prefer it was from a distance.

Requiem for the Republic.

 

   There's been a good deal of discussion about how the organic American republic founded in 1776 was quietly replaced with a corporation in 1871 and reorganized in 1913.  All of that may be true.  But most Americans were able to believe they lived in a constitutional republic under Rule of Law until fairly recently.

   The political lynching of Richard Nixon in the '70s seemed to verify this.  Even a popular President (he won reelection by a massive landslide in '72) wasn't above the law, and could be laid-low for possibly covering-up a bit of petty political espionage.

   But the Stage IV cancer of corruption was clearly diagnosed with the Clinton impeachment at the end of the 20th Century...  Ken Starr spent four years investigating the Clintons, and must have been aware of a mountain of high crimes, misdemeanors, felonies, and freakin' capital offences committed by the diabolical power couple.  But the kickbacks, payoffs, fake investments, etc. were becoming pretty much Standard Operating Procedure for high-level government players by then, so nobody wanted to air that kind of dirty laundry.  As for the murders, child-trafficking, and even worse...  Either the players on both sides of the aisle were also into that scene, or these charges were deemed too outrageous to be pursued, even in the face of solid evidence.

   So, stepping around the aforementioned mountain of offenses, Starr presented Congress with evidence of crimes stemming from Bill Clinton's pathetic, middle-aged frat-boy antics.  Nevertheless, the charges were rock-solid.  Perjury. Obstruction of Justice.  Basically the same stuff they'd figuratively run Nixon out of town on a rail for.

   Nobody denied Clinton was guilty of the charges.  But he was the Marxist Golden Boy, so the media made light of it, the Senate weaseled around and let him off the hook.  Nevermind that an ordinary businessman charged with the same things, even if they stemmed from a sexual harassment case, would have been ruined and probably done time.  Apparently SOME people ARE above the law.  Which meant the whole concept of Equal Justice Under the Law, an underpinning of the American republic, was rotting-away.

   Then came Dubya, and 9-11, justifying an awful lot of Constitution-skirting.  Then the Marxist dash for the finish with Obama, when anyone trying to cite the rules was shouted-down as RACIST.  But it looked like we were saved when the Bombastic Orange SOB who at least claimed to want to Make America Great Again burst onto the scene...

   But, after an impressive term spent showing Americans what it would be like if the Federal executive was working in their favor rather than for foreign interests, and scoring a historic landslide reelection, Trump either showed his true colors or wussed-out in the 11th hour, handing the terrible power of Commander In-Chief we entrusted him with to a regime of Marxist criminals to be used against us.

   The 1776 charter of the USA gives only one justification for the existence of the government: To secure the rights of the people.  But the KamelJoe Regime is openly hostile to those rights.

   It cites only one source of just authority for the government: The consent of the governed.  The exact opposite of claiming power via a fraudulent election.

   So the inauguration of the KamelJoe Regime broke the charter.  Rendered it, the republic it initiated, and the Constitution that organized that republic, null and void.

   We can't even PRETEND the Constitution or Rule of Law still apply with a straight face anymore. 

   There is no longer any law.  Only what you can get away with.
   Last one playing by the rules is just a chump.
