It is a rare politician that wants to take on a truly "Constitutional" outlook on the government because it involves voting themselves out of power, and not many politicians are into that. What they should be doing is spending most of their time vetoing and rolling back laws rather than being "lawmakers." The irony is that the one job that government should be able to handle is making sure free enterprise remains unregulated in such a way as to allow max competition between businesses so we can all benefit from innovation and moving forward.

I won't touch election integrity, aside from saying that it's hard to believe Biden had more votes than Barack Obama, even factoring in Trump Derangement Syndrome. The fact that any questioning of the premise behind what is called the "Big LIe" is telling all by itself.

El Gato Malo did call the fight between the major parties as a "puppet show." What I think he was getting at is that we need to make it clear that whoever we vote for has to know that draining the swamp is very important. The swamp is the standing water that is the deep state,and dismantling it, the bloatware of government, is their primary job.

I share with you a sense of helplessness concerning our system. The officials voted in and out of office are far from effective at this. We need to run a relay race, on this, and need a lineup of officials willing to do the work over the long game of dismantling and keep dismantled these huge unwieldy mechanisms of government. We have managed to create a vast unelected state that is evergreen and functions in spite of the illusion of a democratic republic.
