“It’s time we remembered that ;We the people’ are the government. You and I, not some force in a distant capital, not some powerful force that we have no control over.”
Joe seems to have forgotten the Suez Crisis of 1956, when Great Britain and France were forced to lose a war by American financial threats alone. This caused the French government and people to hate the US for decades.
“The Suez Crisis...was an invasion of Egypt in late 1956 by Israel, followed by the United Kingdom and France. The aims were to regain control of the Suez Canal for the Western powers and to remove Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, who had just nationalized the canal.
“U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower had strongly warned Britain not to invade; he threatened serious damage to the British financial system by selling the US government’s pound sterling bonds.
“Historians conclude the crisis ‘signified the end of Great Britain’s role as one of the world’s major powers.’”

The French forced the United States to go off the gold standard in 1971.
“Ah yes, Your Government “is here to help you” and tell you how really free you are.”
Isn’t that what President Reagan said were the most freightening words to the American people, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you?”
Nancy’s Iron Curtain
Word salad from a potato head. Who is “we”. I suppose he is talking about his people and his government because I absolutely hate both as they are the enemies of America as founded. Anybody can regurgitate words from our founding documents and use the flag as a prop with clapping seals in the background. Half of the we the people are absolutely braindead.
Indeed only a republican can state those words as fact.
Remember, citizen: It was a Republican Attorney General who said, “To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America’s enemies.”
AG Ashcroft essentially described some of your statements as the Constitutional definition of treason.
State media (NPR/PBS) and corporate media (NYT, CNN, MSLSD, etc.) have widely reported that AG Garland and his FBI consider mostly peaceful protest against the Biden Administration to be insurrection. The President considers it “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” The Biden Administration have held non-violent protestors in solitary confinement for months.
As the esteemed progressive Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes opined in Schenck v US, “Nobody has the right to shout fire in a crowded theater.” That opinion resulted in the imprisonment of a peaceful draft protestor. How long do you suppose that the FBI will tolerate your seditious speech and writings? Remember, citizen, that even Republicans oppose such “tactics”.

Yes, and they start wars to dampen criticism of the government. They call it patriotism to send our young people to fight and die for other countries.
Ignore that the US Post Office has been tracking conservative “extremists” on the internet as well.
Plain and simple, when the guy in charge of the apparatus is trying to convince you to trust that apparatus...it is time to QUESTION THE HELL out of the apparatus!
We the People are the government when we don’t have:
Government interference in elections. When government isn’t used to spy for political gain. When government and industry don’t conspire to elect someone. When we have free and FAIR elections with election integrity. When we don’t have taxation without representation, or representation without taxation. When we have Constitutional rights that are respected by government, including “searches and seizures”.
We don’t have a government by the people, for the people unless we are free. Everything else is just Fascism or Communism.

lol Right? Kinda Orwellian.
((( Who )))? You need to ask ((( WHO )))????
WRONG, 50 YEARS OF NOTHING IN DELAWARE AND ELSEWHERE!!!!
WE Are The People, You are the government, and you are supposed to do The People’s Bidding, NEVER YOUR BIDDING!!!!
‘WE’ Kimosabe .. uhh Big Guy??
Pack your crap, Joe. Your new padded cell is ready.
“We Are The People!” The doddering plagiarist lifted that one straight from the movie Taxi Driver.
Trump was no great shakes, but the Democrats stole the election last November. This is the most serious scandal in our history since Teapot Dome: federal elections have no integrity after 11/4/2020.
Then Ashley Babbitt was murdered in cold blood by a capitol cop X, who was then allowed to simply walk away.
No political solution, and after the Chauvin verdict, no legal solution.
You Are Here.
The above message, brought to you by the 1st amendment, secured by the 2nd—both now under attack by “progressive” statists.
It's that magic "you have the right to vote" thing.
It's the government. Increased from 5 to 4 is more like it.
And the Chinese constitution guarantees freedom of the press and freedom of religion.
Article 2. All power in the People's Republic of China belongs to the people.
