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.
Some of what we knew as the current federal government can be done away with. We do need national military, a working, non-corrupt judiciary and several other functions. Term limits and certainly campaign financing restrictions are ideas worth looking into.
What we need more than anything in this country and across the globe is honest, truthful media. If we’d had that, NONE of this evil BS would have been allowed to grow and fester.
Also, I’m all for keeping teams like the digital armies always uncovering the truth and exposing the corruption, many of whom can remain anonymous for their own safety.
Thoughtful post, OP. The topic definitely needs much more consideration.
I'll keep screaming the MSM is public enemy 1
