@Slimo_66 @joewallin The only control we have on the levers of power is voting. Problem is they figured out how to ensure they never lose no matter how unpopular they become. We need a way to reform the entire system.

@RealCalvin1 @joewallin Most people must be unaware that it’s legal for them to accept lobbyists cash. How in hell do we let them get away with such nonsense. They can literally walk through a line of lobbyists on their way to work and make a living. Selling votes to the highest bidder. High level BS!!

The Save America Act won't pass. Not because it's bad, but because 99% of Congress couldn't care less what their constituents want. Their only concern is staying in office. Many of whom got into office the same way Biden won in 2020.

@Law1Use001 Term limits have one major problem. Quality people don't run for office. The corrupt or already bought-and-sold run for office. So we just get a new equally bad person to vote for every few years.

@LeBoogidy @jennine78931 Worse, we closed the asylum and made them a protected class. That was the beginning of the end.

It's amazing how fast we went from working hard for the American Dream to the government should pay for my life from cradle to grave.

@LeBoogidy Not really. Garbage in, garbage out the fat*l flaw to democracy. Normal people don't want their lives under the microscope, and the crazy only want power. The best we can do is pick the best option available. There's a reason the FF created separation of powers.

@RealCalvin1 But predictable & predicted. If govt was the size if 1950, & there were zero shitheads from shit holes, it would be a paradise. But evil people crave power & normal good people dgaf about power. Its genetic & temperamental.

@joewallin It all comes down to who pays them more. And it's not us. They get a salary, but don't get an 8-figure net worth from 180k a year. Lobbyists say jump, and most of Congress says how high.

@jennine78931 The participation trophy generation is now adults. It all started with the idea that everyone gets an award even if they didn't accomplish/win anything insanity.

@RealCalvin1 Boomer's kids and their kids' kids have missed the points of freedom and the American dream. We raised some lazy entitled brats who are only interested in their parents' money and resources. They don't know history and it's sad.

@OhMelodylane The blinders to Communism were put in place by globalists to eventually cause Communism to take over the West. Hence why it's pushed in higher education heavily and is becoming more accepted by the left IMO. If people knew how bad Communism was, they'd fight it to the end.

@RealCalvin1 I ask myself this question often... Communists made Hitler look like an amateur. Why are the greatest mass murderers in history downplayed?

Hitler is mentioned a lot in history books. Stalin and Mao are nearly footnotes despite doing far worse. You should ask yourself why.

@RealCalvin1 I took AP Euro & AP US History in high school but didn't learn how many Stalin killed or that more Russians died during the Russian Revolution at the hand of the Communists until I got to college and researched it on my own for a project. Stalin killed more civilians than Hitler!

@GiantsbaneT They aren't covered equally. All three did horrible things. Mao was the worst, but he isn't treated like the monster he was.

@chee244 That’s the risk. People want government to foot the bill but also don’t want the government to have any control in what people eat/do. If we wish to be free we need less control not more.

Why I don’t support universal health care. Morbid obesity: People who lack any self discipline and will eat bad food in large quantities. Stupidity: People going to the ER or urgent care for minor things like a sore throat or a headache.

@RealCalvin1 When we dropped the expectation of assimilation. Many people, not all, no longer come here to be an American, they come here for work or for stuff and thing holding onto the place they fled is more important than embracing the place giving them opportunity.

• Go to a restaurant, and nobody is speaking English besides the staff. • Go to the grocery store, and one person is speaking English. • Go to Costco, and nobody speaks English at all. When did America become a foreign country?
