I’m going to start a series of posts here in hopes that people outnumber bots and the people genuinely despise the state of affairs in USA. I’m grateful for the resistance. So I mean no disrespect when I say: resistance isn’t enough. We have to ask ourselves: What do we want from resistance?
Are we resisting in order to return to status quo pre-5 Nov 2024? Was the USA the sort of political system we wanted to live under during Biden? Obama? Bush? Clinton? Political, economic and social conditions in USA have been terrible for citizens for decades. In fact, since 1787 it’s been bad.
The problem is that 🇺🇸 was never a democracy; it was - as Madison et al intended - a republic. Rome was the model, not Athens. And Rome, like any other republic, was an oligarchy. Oligarchy meaning rule by the wealthy few. Ordinary citizens were invited to legitimize the elites by voting for them.
