I agree on that, nevertheless, you are analyzing the political process as some kind of stable equilibrium that just goes on endlessly, in the 4-year-cycle. Rather, we are winding down to some kind of culminating event, and everyone in DC knows it. There have been sparks already ... Ruby Ridge, Waco, then 9/11, the housing collapse, and the worst of all, COVID. These events are the furthest possible thing from "random", they are slips of the mask, when the underlying face of the Deep State, and the proxy war between its two factions, can be briefly glimpsed. Sooner or later, that mask is going to come off. In my opinion, COVID proved it's coming off presently. COVID was supposed to be a knockout blow. It was supposed to be the final nail in the coffin of American freedom, in any sense. As far as the Faucis and other accomplices in that crime understood, us dissenters on RPF and elsewhere should have long ago died of a lung-infection from the bioweapon and our bodies bulldozed into mass-graves on a FEMA site somewhere. Their knockout blow misfired, and they do not know why. And many of those on our side of the aisle (resistance to tyranny) still don't even understand that a knockout blow was dealt, in the first place. Which goes to show just how woefully under-prepared we still are, and just how much awakening remains yet to be done. Between my self, my friends and family being bulldozed into FEMA camp mass-graves, and the Fed's reckless money-printing, the former is the more urgent matter. We will have to come back and deal with the Fed, and the Fed is surely the primary economic tool by which these terrible weapons were built in the first place. But first, the knockout blow itself must be parried. Then, we go for the jugular...
