We do need America First congressmen and women, but action at the local level is not running for congress. It's running for school boards and city council.
Yeah, but Congress is important too! I live in a very blue city in a very red state... Last big election in 2022, I signed up to work at my local precinct, never heard back. The place literally stank of Communists... First time I ever voted all Red.
Sign up again if they don't call you call your local news, tell him you've been trying to help and answer their calls but you feel cuz you are a conservative they do not call you. OUT THEM
Maybe the ultimate goal is much much less government. As Q has pointed out several times in constitution that when government has become abusive it is right if people to abolish and form a new system. What if the new system is a government that is only the fraction of the size we have now? What if there is a way that we can govern directly instead of via people that eventually seem to get corrupted? Just throwing it out there as Trump himself doesn’t seem to encourage people to run and even when there have been new MAGA candidates in past he seems to endorse the Republican with best chance of winning which seems to usually be a borderline RiNO. My thought is that it’s possible the Government as we know it might cease to exist.
. . . a government that is only the fraction of the size we have now
That's EXACTLY what America started with, as we all know. First the Articles of Confederation (1781 - 1789) and then the much more centralized and authoritarian government under the Constitution. Still, that government was tiny compared to what we have today.
Here are the federal agencies that DID NOT EXIST for the first sixty years or more after the Constitution was ratified:
Interior 1849
Agriculture 1889
Commerce 1913
Labor 1913
Health and Human Services 1953
Housing and Urban Development 1965
Transportation 1966
Energy 1967
Environmental Protection Agency 1970 (elevated to cabinet-level in 1990)
Education 1979
Veterans Affairs 1987
Homeland Security 2002
Your thought, Horsinaround, that "it’s possible the Government as we know it might cease to exist", is something that needs to go viral. A small American government will inevitably once again become a vast American government, and the free people it governs will increasingly again become oppressed.
I'm not interested in running, I'm a senior and work OT when I can get it. I'm handicapped and not physically attractive. I have no children at all so I might not be good on the school board.
Also I'm very frank, and it often rubs people the wrong way. The Phony gladhanding that you have to do in politics is distasteful. I will be finding out who the good candidates appear to be and voting for them.
This is what happens when certain factors come into play, like inflation, increased prices on goods & services, etc. It's long been said politics is a rick man's game, and those current economic climate proves it.
Running in a rigged two party system is difficult. Not everyone is charismatic enough or wealthy enough to successfully run to begin with, and as long as people are unwilling to ever vote for independent or third party, it's fighting an uphill battle.
Remember, when people have a choice between a RINO or a third party, we are always -- without fail -- pressed to vote RINO.
Thus, an already small number becomes even smaller.
It’s what distraction and division does. It’s a form of demoralization. As an individual you can act locally. Congress is a little wider area and to some it’s less local and others the amount of lefties to overcome seems too much and no action (demoralized)
Yeah, people hate it when you point out their conditioning. Several bloggers I admire for their content drive me crazy with their seeing racism everywhere they go if they don't like something.
even if Trump doesn't want to start it, someone needs to start a MAGA party and get it on the ballot in all 50 states. somewhere candidates can go that refuse to be part of the uniparty system.
The Republican Party has a serious problem with crooks and idiots, sometimes the idiots being the bigger problem. They have no idea how to organize a campaign, how to do publicity, nothing. And it is hard for normal people to penetrate the idiot local parties and campaigns.
Unfortunately, political parties are pretty much here to stay. Even if the Demonic Rats and RINO parties would disappear right now, new organizations and parties will spontaneously form (maybe even more corrupt than before) born out of the brutal fact that a group with more resources will achieve their goals better.
Politics is a blood sport to see who will have the power to achieve their dreams. Be the lion, or be the pray.
Yeah, I'm pro-2nd, and feel we can peel off 2/3rds of government at a rapid pace then slowly pare it down more. They, the evil came very close to achieving their de-pop goal. If Q and Trump didn't change the game. They not only dumbed us down, but themselves as well. They got too complacent and arrogant and suck at rapid decisions.
They have control of vast resources and people, but they can not survive when even the unwashed masses have had enough. We are ruining their game plans and many face extreme punishment. I'm sure there will be many Whistleblowers once the initial tribunals start..
A lot of people are fine running at the local level, but most don't want to touch the federal level. You get your name and family ran through the mud. That's why the psychopaths and corrupt run for congress.

Good idea! I will be doing that in this upcoming election. It may be the most iportant election ever.

Flynn and others have been telling We the People to start at the bottom and work our way up.
What they can't say openly is white hats will meet us in the middle, starting from the top.

This is my hope. Significantly reduced government is in order.
We have 95% too much government, scratch that, 99% too much!

This is true. If elections were real we wouldn’t need term limits.
I voted libertarian in my state because RINOS.
Blue districts.

In my opinion I think political parties need to go the way of the Dodo bird, but I don't have an idea of what would be better...
