Not all but most did not have the imagination to conceptualize the thought of the greatest threat to our Nation's way of life was from within.
You know who did have that foresight?
The founding fathers. They gave us the tools. It was up to us through our politicians to protect what is America.
Our guidebook was used by foreign influence with the cooperation of domestic agents.
Make no mistake about it, this is and has been a coup of which we're still in the midst.
The Felon is their agent but he is not alone. We knew who he was, he showed us and does so, not daily but from moment to moment. We thought we dodged a bullet after his first term with the pandemic.
But, our leaders did not lead and our complacency has given him an opportunity to succeed in accomplishing what he failed to do the first time around.
Those at the highest echelons of our Government who have time and time again not been held accountable for breaking our laws. That is especially true of every elected Republican President in my lifetime, starting with Nixon.
We relied upon the other 2 branches of our Government to be the secondary safety mechanism. Instead, we got a perfect storm of greed and corruption culminating in what can only be described as the worst Government in the history of these "United" States of America.
Our politicians did the job of the people by introducing, voting on and implementing some of the most important legislation ever to pass through Congress. It has been settled law, challenged with great ferocity in the highest court. And yet somehow, if you put the right corrupt pieces in place, our lives can be changed in such a way as to be permanently damaged. Sometimes by 6 people or sometimes by one. That is not how our Government works. But, that's the point, isn't it. To make sure our Government only works for the chosen few.
