Even in my backwards little podunk town, the Federal beast has hooked the locals with “free money” from Washington in exchange for obedience.
They do not care if there are strings attached. They like the money and use it to beguile the locals into embracing the suck of tyranny.
Money talks - principles walk - in today’s Amerika. No one wants to hear it.
All they respond to is money and whomever is handing it out - get’s their loyalty and support.
It’s a lost cause - even out here.
Until then, the fight is on.
Bend the ear of your local yokel. The idiots in DC and I don't elect him. You do.
You are the only one that can make a difference there.
Shake his hand, hold onto it a little bit too long, make him remember you. And promise to fire him if he doesn't do what you say.
That should work in most places that aren't Austin, Texas.
Otherwise, you'll get indicted for something.
