6. I doubt we'd gain much by going there.

Power was always divided and the law respected. Not so much anymore.

We'd be better off to have our own TV Network. Or to print a copy of the US Constitution for every American mailbox and go on TV explaining its workings and why. We need to channel patriotism, the good old Spirit of '76 patriotism.

We've gone soft with consumerism. Democracy needs tending. We outsourced it to fat cats. Republicans think the problem is welfare queens, SNAP benefits, and trans kids. Democrats know the source is elected officials in politics for themselves, for money over all else, for power over all.

A tried and true take on Republicans, back when they were monied interests, is they are for the private good. The triumph of the private interests over the public good. Life is now about gated communities, stock portfolios, private jets, tax cuts for the wealthy. Republicans believe in restricting the benefits of society to those who have the fattest wallets to pay for them.
