'I'm mad as hell, and I won't take it anymore!'

 I have become extremely disappointed with the Republican party.  It is hard to find the words to express just how disappointed I am.  But, while I am disappointed with Republicans, I would not quit the party to join the Democrats, whom I view as evil.  Nor would I join the Libertarians, whom I view as misguided and naive.  Plumbing the depths of my disappointment with the Republicans is, perhaps, not possible, but J. B. Shurk comes close with his article at the American Thinker today entitled The Hostile Takeover of the Republican Party.

Being a Republican voter is no easy thing. Social media censor you. Companies fire you. The Department of Justice persecutes you. Democrats assault and harass you. And all the while, most Republican Party "leaders" stand back and do nothing as they watch. We've got the only political party in modern history controlled by a small group of elected officials who fundamentally disagree with the prevailing viewpoints of 90% of the voters who put them in office. Election after election, their unstated yet indisputable campaign slogan is simply, "Vote for us because we don't hate you quite as much as the other guys." (I'm not even sure that's true!)

Name another profession whose whole business model is centered on creating problems where none exists, so that the same people who created them can spend enormous sums of money guaranteed to make things worse. Only politicians could declare a "war on poverty," waste tens of trillions of dollars, and get more poverty. Only criminal kingpins could declare a "war on drugs" while keeping America's unprotected borders open to narco-terrorists and subsidizing the pharmaceutical industry in its efforts to hook Americans on opiates. Only an unpatriotic Uniparty invested in making money, not achieving victory, could spend two decades at war, accomplish little, botch retreat, and then repopulate the homeland with nationals from the same countries we've been fighting. If poverty, drug use, and global threats to peace have never been worse, then the politicians are winning! Stealing taxpayers' wealth to create crises that require stealing more from taxpayers is the normal business cycle of the ruling class. Only policy failure can produce success!

Once people grasp this perverse incentive structure for elected criminals, then seemingly inscrutable problems become easy to understand. Is it true that the U.S. government was actually investing money in the same Chinese bio-weapons lab that may have unleashed COVID-19 upon the world? Why would the feds use taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous experiments in a communist country that is arguably America's most serious geopolitical foe? Those reasonable questions presume that officials infused with a bare modicum of ethics or morality represent us. Ask instead: has the "health emergency" given our gangster government more authority? Has it allowed congressional criminals to spend recklessly on an ever-mutating problem? Has it widened the divide between the powerful and the powerless? If so, then aiding our enemies in the development of bio-weapons has been a rousing success. Once you accept that the Uniparty produces for mass consumption both misery and misery's antidote, then any manner of duplicitous treachery against American citizens makes perfect sense.

Of course you should go read the whole article. It is hard to believe that all this isn't by design. It has to dawn on one that our elected scavenger class intends these results. After all, they can't be so stupid as to believe that their policies will bring about an independent, self sufficient middle class. These are Rhodes Scolars, graduates of Harvard Law School, Yale, and other "elite" schools. These are places the average joe can't get into. And please note that every . single . policy and policy proposal always runs inthe same direction. If this was just randon, some of these policies might strengthen the middle class. But no, these policies and laws universally hurt the middle class. And when we notice, we are gaslighted. No, we are just trying to help out those down on their luck. But of course, that is our job, not government's. Even people in foriegn countries have noticed:

It's difficult to look at all this carnage and not ask, as El Salvador's president has, whether there is a "deliberate plan" to "destroy the U.S. from within." Seen from the globalist cartel's obvious goal of restoring a system of feudalism where a small number of lords can control a continent of serfs, the answer is clear: yes!

I am not sure what to do about it, but the first thing is I won't vote FOR people who do not represent my values. I woun't vote for the Democrats, of course, but I don't want hold my nose and vote for the lesser evil. To make a movie reference, "I'm mad as hell, and I won't take it anymore!"
