Interesting read - thanks for sharing it.

Good article, RMD.
I'll just post the conclusion, and ask the question:
Does anyone think that those who have benefited from this theft of the election really WANT to "act with prudence to restore confidence and stability"?

I don't think so. They know what they did; they will do it again. They want to codify it and make their illegitimate election rigging a permanent fix.

CONCLUSION

The previous four years were a time of intense emotion politically, and decisions made in intense emotion are often poorly considered. Those involved in the self-described ‘cabal’ may well have believed they were acting for the good of the United States. Those who have profited from their work by receiving political power doubtless believe in the value of the agenda they are promoting. Many philosophical differences are permissible under our system; indeed, the value of the system lies in its ability to negotiate such differences, so that people of diverse beliefs and values might live in peace.

Yet the present course is not sustainable. It is important for those involved in the confessed conspiracy to alter election laws in an unconstitutional and reckless manner come to realize the harm they have done to the stability of the whole American order. It is important that those in power admit to themselves the volatility of the present moment, and began to act with prudence to restore confidence and stability. There has been much talk about ‘unity,’ but the actions of the present government do not match the words.

If the present course is not changed, tens of millions of Americans may begin to look anew at the founding documents of this country. What they will find there is a philosophical justification for the outright dissolution of the American government, not just a momentary ‘insurrection’ against a proceeding in Congress. If the powerful and the wealthy do not desire this, they need to take heed. The hour is very late, anger among the populace is growing, and the government is behaving recklessly.

History is a wonderful example of what comes next if we don't find a way to stop this nonsense. When laws no longer matter and the government is found to be both corrupt and useless (or adviserial) to the populace, utter chaos ensues. Once chaos takes hold, fear and distrust magnify, and the public organizes into like minded groups. Those groups will eventually revert to vigilante justice in settling grievances with others. Wonder how the people causing all this pain and suffering right now will fair in that world? My bet, not very well. 'This' is why liberals/progressives should never be allowed access to power....ever.

Those currently in power will never change. Either honest politicians gain in the next election or two, or the Dems will push until they have near total control. Then there will be a revolution of some sort.

There is only one solution to the problem. It’s the same solution that has been tried and been used successfully by other countries.

No reason why it won’t work here. It might be messy but we really don’t need the libtards here in the US when there are so many other countries doing what they desire.

There is a risk in everything. But there are no rewards without risks.

This pretty much lays it out...

Many tens of millions of Americans doubt the veracity of the last election, and the violations of state and Federal constitutional law are plain for all to see. The only reasonable way to proceed is to abandon aggressive legislation for the present, and instead move to reform the laws to ensure that Americans regain confidence in the system.

If this is not done, the logic of the Declaration of Independence is clear. The government of the United States is in grave danger of creating the philosophical justification for a legitimate revolution against it, and on the very terms of its own foundational documents. It cannot survive if it continues to proceed in this way; and if the Declaration is right, it should not survive. The people are said to have both a right and a duty to replace it under those circumstances.
