Also this comment from that post by Nuc1.1:
The big cities are the country’s problem. Changing their voting patterns by 10-20% would change the dominant political philosophy. However, Karl has supported the dominant political philosophy of the last 100 years. His justified fear, dare I say terror, at the natural outcome of his political views is hopefully reflected by new voting patterns. As I see it there are only four possible ways out; 1) The citizens change their ways and vote responsibly. (VERY unlikely.) 2) A constitutional convention amends the constitution to eliminate DCs ability to impose their tyranny upon us. (Less likely than 1 and the government wouldn’t follow the newly revised constitution anyway.) 3) The armed forces, upholding their oath to the constitution, rise up and clean house restoring the constitutional republic. (More likely than 1 or 2 but still unlikely.) 4) Some event from within or without causes us to change our ways. (This is the only likely scenario.) Not pretty, but realistic IMHO. When the change comes the voting base must be reduced in size. Presently we are more of a corrupt democracy than a republic.
Thank you!
Thanks for your reply. I believe the strategy outlined in my letters circumvents both of the predictions that you shared. That is the key difference, I am not trying to predict anything, those others are. They are both predicting that it is a waste of time to try to solve the problem because it can’t be solved.
Both are also stuck in the weeds. They fail to identify the actual problem which is that our government has already deteriorated into an oligarchy. That is the only problem that needs to be solved. All of the other problems with which we are preoccupied are symptoms of that one problem and will resolve organically with with time if we solve the oligarchy issue.
After correctly identifying the problem, then I was able to create a workable solution. It may not be the best solution, but it will restore our Constitution and government to it’s original intent.
We will not have a perfect union after it is solved, but we will once again have a functioning republic where We the People stumble forward with maximum peace and productivity within the limitations of the material world and the spiritual universe.
And, I think that’s about the best we can ever expect ;)
