Yes, whose doors are you going to show up at with that rifle.
I’m not sure you have really thought it through.
Well, I have tried to think it through. I had hoped that Trump might just be an event that could propel Cruz into “electability”. He still may.
To further expand, let’s say we can get a President Cruz. I am certain he would start out energetic and doing his best to be faithful to the Constitution. But the whole time it would be there. Just waiting to be used. With the enemedia grinding at him and the Rats biting at him even he, I fear, would succumb to “the easier path”. Maybe at first just here or there but I suspect power is like heroin. Thankfully I have been blessed to be inexperienced in that regard.
I don’t wear rose colored glasses when it comes to US history. I’m no Howard Zinn but I suspect there has never been a time when we actually had the Republic we like to think about save perhaps our first President. Even Lincoln was no Washington. But then I suppose he couldn’t be. Undeniably, we have strayed further from it in recent decades than ever before. Like putting a locomotive back on the rails you have to bring something along that can pick it up. It probably isn’t something one person can do.
Whose door do we drag our rifles to? Good question. As a boy I had this image of a church bashing in the Gates of Hell. Like a physical building with a steeple. It just didn’t make sense. I think your question is like that in a way. We don’t need to go find Hell. As a building or as a group. It comes to us. There may be no door. I may succeed if I just stand where I am.
