Been thinking about this a lot: We need a new method of governance. I think Trumps been hinting at this as well. The swamp has been exposed and its very deep and all encompassing. It’s beyond needing a little landscaping to fix it. It needs to be burned down completely so something new can grow from the ash-fertilized soil.
It took 200 years for the system to be totally compromised and also 200 years for us to figure out that the system itself has lost sight of its prior intention, to act in the best interests of its people. This has been developing since WW1. Pots boiling now!
Our government today doesn’t really do anything for the people. It’s all for their own benefit and the benefit of their special interest group donors. They’re holding US back. They’re slowing down innovation.
I think a grassroots cooperative decentralized movement (similar to how wall street bets were able to collectively out perform the stock market) could be created and could outperform our current government. I think a group of hundreds of thousands or even millions of patriotic Americans can make decisions much more effectively than slimey Dem or Rep politicians.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
How would this work exactly?
Do it on localized levels/state levels?
Why should my laws be the same as a New Yorkers laws?
Why do we even need a federal government?
Was this the intention of the original constitution?
I feel like this is where we need to go but I have no idea where we would even start.
What do we replace it with? Easy...
Being self-sufficient as an individual, then a family, then your neighborhood, then your local community and government. After that I guess you care a bit about your state government. The federal government should be literally so small that you almost never think about it.
I'm being serious...focus on yourself, then your family, then your neighbors, then your town...once you're all doing that, the federal government has almost no power over you. Imagine not really caring who the president is because they can't really do anything for you...which means they can't really take much away either. That was, in all honesty, the very idea of America.
