Elections no longer determine who will represent a once sovereign people. With every cycle, elections increasingly determine who will force obedience. After every outright assault on our constitution, shortly after the dust settles, America with rare exception quietly accepts the new normal.
The rats have swept arbitrary, despotic powers into the executive branch. It is as clear as a desert sunrise, they have no intention of parting with them.
Elections are courtesy fornications that let us pretend we are still a free republic.

Bravo Zulu! After considering your post, I’m at a loss for adequate comment. Accepting a “new & improved” normal especially rings true. US don’t so much move onward & upward as slide into some slime from whence we never came.
Well put: we have been reduced to choosing between the treasonous Democrat or the incompetent Republican pushed by unseen powers behind the screen. Apparently we're supposed to believe that the only people available out of about 100 million eligible to serve as President were the Kenyan Community Organizer or the Moderate Mormon. Now they're pushing dingbat Hillary and Bush IV. Lucky us.
Meanwhile Russia and China are just getting up on their feet to whack us while the traitor-in-chief slashes our defenses. How long are we going to sit around and watch this?
Or, to allow the elite to make that (free people) claim. I suppose there are two finctions. Fool the suckers into thinking they are in control, and then legitimize all the higher taxes, micro-management that the elites are fond of imposing for their cronies.
