Been thinking an awful lot about #1 lately.
Our ancestors sacrificed their lives and property for their descendants to not live under the rule of a king, and have the right to vote.
But we vote in tyrants. The tyrants work their way into office because most patriotic people are too busy earning a living to concern themselves with trying to control others. (Which I think is the fatal flaw of the Republican party. "Activist" Republicans like Marjorie Taylor-Greene are the exception, not the norm.)
How do we fix this by legal and constitutional means? How do we discourage wannabe dictators from seeking leadership positions?
We are too busy earning a living because the government is intentionally overtaxing us to purposely take our hard-earned money. Fix this and we will have enough money to feed our families AND enough free time left over to study the candidates for office and make wise choices when voting.
But that is the point. By the time you have time to make a "wise" choice, the choices are between TERRIBLE and AWFUL.
The Salt Lake City mayoral race of 2018 is just one example. Neither the state GOP not the Salt Lake County GOP put up ONE SINGLE CANDIDATE for that race. NOT ONE. Listening to the contenders was basically a conversation between the bolsheviks and the mensheviks.
Some local LDS church members came out strongly in support of the woman who eventually won, saying she could "work with people." This woman's college major was Gender Studies. Now, she is completely in over her head in dealting with a surging homeless problem here in SLC. Along the bank of a maybe half mile stretch of river here, right around the state fairgrounds, there must be 85 homeless tents. Outside the police station downtown, you practically trip over them.
If you wait until you are "not busy" to concern yourselves with politics it is too late. The leftists have already established themselves in positions of power and are now reaping the benefits and destroying their constituencies.
We have little choice but to vote in tyrants- if we vote. When the choice laid out to you is to compromise your lifestyle / finances / happiness when you accept either candidate then the system is broken and corrupt beyond all measure- only a reset (of sorts) will clean house effectively. We also need to look at how we got into this mess politically / financially and put safeguards in place to ensure it cannot happen again.
Our founding fathers were attorneys, farmers, merchants, landowners, etc. They sacrificed their careers, their property, and even more for the American Revolution.
By the time they hit Trenton, George Washington and his army were at such a low point they had practically nothing left to lose.
You’re right on with the “too busy making a living to concern themselves”. My husband just said the other day “When we were working all the time & raising our kids we just carried on with life & didn’t really pay attention to politics” I told him that’s what they’re counting on. Retirement has its highs & lows.
Aha ... that is why they vote tyrants that want to control others ? Like people that demand drug laws for example ?
STOP VOTING PEOPLE THAT DEMAND POWER OVER OTHERS . That includes PROPERTY. Stop voting people that offer to "HELP" you get a job , create jobs or INTERFERE in the ECONOMY.
In other words STOP BEING SOCIALISTS.
