It is very depressing to realize the country will NEVER again be what we once had!!! Our founders did their damndest to give us a Republic that power hungry people could not destroy and with EVERYTHING they thought of that could possibly go wrong it still went wrong!!! POTUS can’t do this on his own and the BASTARDS elected could give a shit less about saving our nation!!! Founders should have put term limits into the constitution, I often wonder WHY they did not!!!!
“Founders should have put term limits into the constitution, I often wonder WHY they did not!!!!”
Very few people were in good enough shape at 60 back then. Much less a chamber full of 80+yr olds who’ve been there 40+ years. Before antibiotics, heart surgery, chemotherapy, dialysis/etc the odds that many ‘someones’ would have simultaneously lived to be 80+ were very small.
The founders were egoists - they were a product of the enlightenment, which embraced (rational) man and rejected stable traditions dating back thousands of years. Rather than institute a domestic form of aristocracy, they went full retard by implementing a republican democracy. Oh sure, they felt they were clever enough to build in safeguards, checks and balances into the constitution, but it proved easily corrupted by adopting full franchise.
What should have happened was Washington should have ascended to Augustus, naming Adams as Caesar. The first 10 or so presidents would have followed pretty much the same line, but the empire would have remained stable while the republic began to diverge. The horrible three amendments passed during the progressive era would have never been discussed, much less incorporated. And let's not discuss the current open borders policy and wholesale voter fraud.
But here's the thing - history isn't static. People don't just take their sh!t sandwich and eat it without complaint. The system of US governance will correct at some point, and the form it takes will most likely mirror what should have been instituted 250 years ago. On a long time frame, consider how that short period would just be a minor blip in the 2k year period of the Roman empire (counting the east as a continuation).
Europe is on the move, and great things are apace on other fronts as equilibrium seeks to find balance. The panel of deep state traitors at the memorial may well be one for the archives after the reset is completed.
The Republic can be saved.
It starts in the home, in the family. If Christians, conservatives, traditionalists, libertarians would stop handing their children over to the socialist government schools to have their character molded by the enemy, we could turn things around in a generation. But even here in FR, where many seem to be aware of what is at stake, there is a resistance to taking this step. Collectively, we imagine a “vain thing”, that the next generation is in good hands. It isn’t. This is heartbreaking.
