My working theory here is that we have ourselves to blame for a thing or two. I have been as guilty as any other, so I am no paragon of virtue either, but we have ceded too much ground at every turn, for way too long.
I don’t know a solid reason why the Left has been tireless and patient and relentless at insidiously changing our institutions and dismantling America piece by piece, and we “patriots” have not been any of those things.
I don’t know why that is. The devil has been at work and we have been tested and failed the test, found lulled by our work and play, while the enemy has taken ground first by inches, but now by leaps and bounds.
The Left have either been supremely stealth for decades, while seamlessly moving their progressive/communistic impulses into the mainstream, or else we have been in a near hypnotic state of stage-four sleeping pattern, peacefully dozing through near total social destruction. We have awakened just in time to see that we are damned near wrapped in chains.
To ignore that our local schools and churches were becoming ear ticklers and no longer serving the virtues of discipline and knowledge and truth, and yes, obedience, has been a crime.
The system is fairly set up for grassroots participation, protections and grassroots agendas, but since we mostly prefer to mow the lawn and get the boat ready, we miss our election year precinct meetings, county conventions and state conventions and wonder why we’re left in the dirt.
In the South, it seems the grassroots religious zealots are the numbers who show up and take up your local party. They are the ones who go as delegates to their county and state conventions.
In the North, it’s probably the RINO’s who high tail it to the precinct meetings and are delegates to their convention process.
This state of delegate affairs is what brought Cruz favor, and these zealots were willing to cheat and flip delegates for him. Trump supporters were no where found in these early state delegate counts, but barely. Thank God for the popular vote forcing the delegate allocation for him at all. Otherwise, it would have been a bath, in places.
If not for TRUMP, we would have had another RINO enema.
We have to get active and aggressive. We have to call the local headquarters and observe the game from inside. They aren’t going to be calling you. They like the system as it is. They built it. You didn’t. That is why you don’t see your precinct meeting advertised. Basically, you are not wanted. We have to show up, and go take it. Democracy belongs to us too. Majority vote begins at the local level.
Short of revolution, it can not be fixed anymore. And, God-fearing people are not going to start a revolution and the government knows it. They’re going to come after our guns to make sure when it gets intolerable, there will be no resistance. Finger of God....

The left has the saying, “Think globally, act locally.”
We haven’t been doing that, and that’s why the world is in this mess.
