Voting legitimizes the system of slavery they have imposed on you.
Voting is the forcing of your will on your neighbor. Thats why Dems and Republicans alike insist you do it. It makes them necessary.

We no longer have a government as was founded. We have an oligarchy that rules increasingly unrestrained. We have political prisoners in solitary confinement for years snd government agents invading homes and arresting people for their political beliefs while they ignore criminals. What do you expect? And it's only gonna get worse - and that same gov't is to blame for the sure-to-come bloodbath..

America has been a nice experiment. But it not the way man has governed man since we walked upright. One man rule has been the norm and is dominate across the world. That's reality and most people are happy with it. Short term we have a ruling elite. They will be brushed aside once the strong man emerges. The rise of Stalin is a perfect blueprint.

Many of the rules and regulations don't come from elected officials anyway. They come from the alphabet agencies over whom we have no control or voice. Congress created them and gave them overwhelming powers and we have no way to fight back. For example, look how the EPA now controls everything from gas cans to every bit of development that goes on in this country.

What’s also shocking is that people from other parts of the world see our country crumbling and falling apart better than we do. I’ve had friends from other countries that I’ve stayed in touch with for close to 40 years and even they ask me “what the hell is going on over there”? “What are you all doing”?? Why do you allow the government to do what they are doing? They think we are crumbling from the inside out and they’re right.

We kinda got away from protecting basic rights and our borders, and morphed into a giant jobs/welfare program. I remember thinking that our debt would be problem. Lol, nope.
@jameslavish
If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation

No need for .gov to tell me how I should live while "stealing" my money through taxation to create laws and bs ideologies that don't represent me.....which are actually harmful to me. .gov has targeted and labeled conservatives and their views. Currently a man who is incapable of taking care of himself let alone "running" this country is what .gov has become.

Congress decided many years ago that it was less problematic for their re-elections to allow agencies with no oversight do their dirty work. The agencies can essentially regulate, tax and harass the public with impunity and congress can claim no party to it. We need a complete overhaul, and it isn't going to be easy or pretty.

Well said and it won't be easy or pretty if or when it happens.

Perfect example when Less is more. Todays big brother is Too big and too powerful where it over steps it’s boundaries with no real consequences. The sheep that don’t question and obey isn’t making things any easier.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Covid proved to me that the population of the US is mostly sheep. Those that are not sheep are barking ankle biters not sheep dogs. Yep. It's hard to imagine what we've become as a nation until you look at bellwethers like covid and the populace's ability to be manipulated. So easily. Anyway, makes everything explainable.

Can you show us in our Constitution or Declaration of Independence where those who gave us freedom and created the United States of America declared this Nation was to be an experiment?
