There’s been a lot happening on the federal level in the past few weeks. The Supreme Court ruled that USAID payments could not be stopped, the deportation tracker was taken down, Trump turned on the only Republican representative not getting money from AIPAC, and Congress passed yet another out of control spending bill.
Trump winning has upset some things, but for the most part it is simply business as usual in D.C.. Congress remains corrupt and compromised, the Supreme Court refuses to uphold the constitution, and all the executive branch can do is complain about it.
The established corruption is so entrenched in the system, that it can not be removed by political means. Remember all of those delayed elections for senators and congressmen? In many of those elections the democrats ended up winning. Tell me why in some of these elections over 50,000 people would vote for Trump, then turn around and vote for a Democrat congressman? The answer is they didn’t, the elections in those states are a sham, and they simply focused their cheating efforts on Congress instead. In order to have nationwide election reform, we need to get the corrupt congressmen out. In order to get the corrupt congressmen out, we need nationwide election reform. It’s a catch 22, and political reform is impossible.
This isn’t the end of constitutional government, but this does appear to be the end of the government of the United States. This modern federal government does not follow the constitution at all, and simply wears it like a suit to give the appearance that “We the People” are in charge, when “We the People” haven’t had any meaningful influence over the government in over a century.
The founding fathers knew the constitution wasn’t corruption proof, which is why they added the ultimate check and balance; we the people. There is a good reason the 2nd amendment starts with “A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state”. The founders interpreted the meaning of “free state” to be a nation free from despotism.
Is modern America a “free state” as the founders interpreted it?
Furthermore, Benjamin Franklin famously said “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”, and also said that “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom”.
Is modern America moral and religious? For conservatives and right leaning people in general, absolutely. For the moderates, not so much, and for the progressives and left leaning, absolutely not. Do those who are deserving of a free and constitutional government deserve to share a nation with those who don’t?
I would say absolutely not. Let the righteous and the wicked have separate nations, and let the wicked destroy themselves, and drive their own nations into the ground while the righteous prosper.
