And its occupants are not foreign-born, but rather foreign agents. The images and footage of virtually our entire Congress waving little blue and yellow flags after the vote to continue funding Ukraine’s self-genocide are grating, and disheartening in a way that feels like our nation is irrevocably condemned to its role as international buffet. Picked apart by vultures, but only because it’s allowed by the supposed stewards of this nation. It’s difficult to find words to express the feelings that arise when watching 80-somethings waving their Ukrainian flag and grinning like clowns after a further facilitation of the rape of the American taxpayer, and the slaughter of faraway innocents. Why does activism never bear fruit? Why does the avalanche of columns, books, news stories, podcasts, documentaries, and whistleblowers never translate into an American government that doesn’t sell out American citizens? This includes both Oklahoma senators, Lankford and Mullin, both traitors who engaged in the latest official act of treason with their vote in favor of more aid to the Ukraine and Gaza abattoirs.
What is the answer, what is the way forward, when all our efforts amount seemingly to nothing? We’re basically back at square one, with a single organism comprised of the majority of our elected politicians acting and speaking with one voice. The answer, depressingly, is that our government doesn’t change, because the people who vote haven’t changed. They’re the same stupid crowd who show up faithfully at the voting booth, blissfully ignorant of any and all issues that affect their nation, and vote in the same manner that they cheer during a football game. What we do doesn’t reach them, because they are unreachable. This is the work of Boobus Americanus, and he is not going away any time soon. In fact, I don’t believe he will ever go away. He is eternal. He is America’s destiny, and ultimate destroyer. The popular election of senators, at the very least, must end. Senators must again be chosen by each state’s legislature. Will this fix much? It would at the very least place a much needed firewall between the wildfires of democracy, and actual legislation. I am for the popular election of Presidents. Can I explain rationally why I think democracy shines only in this regard? I can’t, aside from the strange statement that the only moment that democracy can show a trace of wisdom is when electing a single ruler. Conventional wisdom goes against everything I’ve just advocated for, but the again, conventional wisdom has given us the abomination we witnessed with the foreign aid vote. Nothing for our own nation, only other nations. This is treason, which is a word that should again mean something.
I don’t know what the answer is going forward. I only know that we must course correct, because our current efforts are in vain.
