We no longer have a representative government. The rat party has bought enough constituents with taxpayer money - thus ensuring their continued power and allowing them to do as they damn well please.
See my tag line.
You are absolutely correct. The imperial representatives no longer hear us. However, those constituents that they bought will. We need to identify them and choke off all funding, purchases or support and let them know why. IMHO, that’s where we should be putting the bulk of our efforts at this point. Who and what institutions are supporting these people, out ‘em, and put them out of business.
