I think the hopes you expressed, probably shared by most here, assume that elected officials are actually in charge of governing. I'm not so confident about that. We've talked before in this space about how deep state actors survive across election cycles. And it seems pretty clear that politicians put the wishes of their deep state donors far above the wishes of the electorate. I'm guessing you might agree that citizen action needs to extend far beyond just elections -- even ones that are fair.

From the hands of planetary ogres like the World Economic Forum & Bilderberg the government servants take their orders. Yes, I think we the people have already been too tolerant. I know what our revolutionary ancestors would recommend.

Those donors get a hell of a return on their investment ummm donations. Donations buy access. I've noted a lot of access with $2-5k. Even $1k.

I've often considered crowd sourcing a campaign for congressmen and senators. Kind of like a super pac for the little guys down here. Surely 80 million Trump voters could give $1 WOW, that might actually get us a seat. Like a libertarian union.... I know cognitive dissonance... But with Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins in there (RINOS) it has been leaked that with these 2 senators the senate has enough to overturn the supreme court Roe v. Wade and codify it into national law. So, we have to get average normal people in there and I see a way we might be able to make a small dent here. I surely would welcome feedback on the crowd sourcing idea?
