There are many reasons why we find ourselves about to reach a point once felt to be unthinkable. Take a look at the three losers the powers-that-be scammed up to be presidential candidates—not one even remotely fit for the office. Representative government? Please... Just one example.
Unthinkable and frightening but......
As an addendum.....we have reached the tipping point where we have in fact ceded authority to one man/woman on the USSC to decide the gravest matters for the entire nation...one man/woman appointed - not elected - for life....virtually impossible to remove from office....free, with no recourse, to continue in office for LIFE as if no Justice is subject to the mental and physical effects of time and aging. This is wrong. It is tyranny.
