Breaking the Chains: Reclaiming Our Representative Government
I am deeply frustrated with the current political landscape and how systemic issues affect everyday lives.
In today’s political landscape, it often feels like we are caught in a system that prioritizes power over the well-being of the people.
The two major political parties have become entrenched in a battle for dominance, sacrificing the needs of their constituents in favor of self-serving agendas. This is not just a political failure; it is a betrayal of the very principles of representative government.
Take a moment to consider the billions of dollars funneled into our inner cities, only to be siphoned off by a select few—often referred to as the “backroom boys.” These individuals, driven by profit, increase gentrification, which has systematically priced out the poor and minorities that need these resources the most.
The result? Neighborhoods that once thrived are now a shadow of their former selves, leaving minorities and low-income families without the support they desperately need.
Then there’s our education system, trapped by powerful unions prioritizing their interests over our children’s future. Public schools, particularly in underserved areas, churn out graduates who struggle to find meaningful employment. These are not just statistics; they are lives affected by an education system that seems more invested in maintaining the status quo than empowering the next generation. Another generation of functional illiterates trained in perverse sexual practices and political activism--unmoored from reading, writing, math, civics, history, and proper English.
Let’s not forget our universities, which have increasingly offered degrees that do little to prepare students for the real world. Many graduates emerge with a mountain of debt and degrees that lead them down paths of frustration and disappointment—often into roles within government or NGOs rather than into careers in the private sector that can foster real change.
The truth is that determining our political beliefs and navigating the complexities of our system is not as straightforward as it should be. From birth, we are influenced by factors beyond our control—media narratives, societal expectations, and political dogma. We are often nudged into a second-choice life that doesn’t reflect our values or aspirations.
So, how do we reclaim our power and break free from this cycle of corruption? It starts with recognizing the nature of our political parties. While the Democratic Party carries a legacy intertwined with slavery, segregation, and the KKK, it seems to have lost any sense of accountability for the harm it has inflicted as it falsely promises change “this time.”
Bottom line…
Voting for progressive Democrats often perpetuates a flawed system that has failed to deliver for its constituents. Billions are wasted in patronage, six-figure no-show commissions, and board jobs that add nothing to the public’s benefit.
Conversely, while the Republican Party may not have all the answers, it is crucial to differentiate between the party and the systemic issues that plague our society.
Change won’t come from simply switching party allegiance or waiting for a savior to emerge. It requires a collective effort to demand accountability and transparency from our elected officials.
There is little doubt that our system of elected representation is disappearing as the progressive communist democrats are misleading and misdirecting our attention to what is happening--taking our hard-won civil rights along with it.
Every minute of every day, both by their actions and their inactions, the progressive communist democrats are prioritizing political power and scheming to gain or maintain a cushy political job over representing their constituency.
Everybody is familiar with the “Golden Rule. “No, not the one that says, “He who has the gold makes the rules,” but the one about treating others as you wish to be treated.
But the rule only works if we truly practice it for everyone. There can be no half measures, or the failure of this country—of this society, in fact—will be inevitable.
We are so screwed,
