I don’t know how it’s possible to fix this with “voting the right people in”. The people doing the voting are responsible for this situation. How would modern American voters treat a Washington or Adams at the polls? It would be a landslide loss for both.
Stupidity has become a plague in this country that is multiplying by the day. It’s a self-contented, 5G-engorged imbecility that is invincible to change. This mass of stupidity is becoming a force of nature that cannot be opposed, like a tsunami or tornado.
Occasionally a good candidate slips through the cracks, like Massie, but who then must stand alone, while weathering continuous attacks from his stupid and evil colleagues.
What is the answer, aside from the fact that we must face reality, that democracy shouldn’t be extended to such a degree as we’ve reached in America. Our representatives must be chosen another way. Either through Hayek’s notion of demarchy, which refers to election via a lottery, or through state legislatures, or through a group of people who exist as monks, whose entire lives are under strict scrutiny, and who dedicate their lives to choosing representatives in as disinterested a way as possible, and who treat the ideals of this nation with an almost religious veneration. Similar to the Supreme Court, but different. A lifelong post, and upon retirement a guaranteed lifelong pension as well as a strict control on money-making endeavors.
Democracy has failed this nation totally. Just look at the footage below. More democracy can’t save this. Formulating just the right message in order to attract the voting class is a fool’s errand. We must remove money entirely from the choice of representatives, and I’m now of the belief that we must remove voters as well.
Instead of fining democrats for waving flags, the House Sergeant at Arms just called and said I will be fined $500 if I don’t delete this video post.
Mike Johnson really wants to memory hole this betrayal of America. https://t.co/5DPWoo4cLw
