What happens when the party in power tips the scales in their favor to hold onto that power? What if they had a specific playbook that all of us were warned about that they would utilize to keep that power? What if, despite the leader’s insistence that he had no connection to that playbook or its authors, he followed it TO THE T once assuming power?Sure. If only we had some other method of getting rid of these elected representatives that we don't like... just like every other election, including the ones where people didn't think one party or the other was going to give up power if they lost.
I wonder if the citizens in Germany in the 1930’s were as seemingly carefree about the changes to their government as you seem to be. I wonder at what point they finally became alarmed.
And the difference is, they were actually bailed out of the mess by losing WWII and the true realization of what they had become came crashing down upon them as we bombed their cities back to the Stone Age. Without a wake-up call like that, how long would it take our own citizens to wake up? Decades?
I know you graduated from Georgia Tech, so I certainly understand I’m not dealing with a card-carrying member of MENSA here, but I need you to be a little less simple-minded and naive going forward. We’re nearing an inflection point here, and we can’t afford for weak people to sit on the sidelines to see how it plays out.
