Wielding power while also limiting it, has always been the central problem of political theory. The accumulation of knowledge has proceeded one collapsed order at a time. The United States, the greatest Enlightenment experiment, may soon yield to tyranny.

James Madison imagined that institutions might be designed, prompting men to do that which they were naturally un-inclined to do. Some virtue was needed, but contrivance — checks and balances, carrots and sticks — might encourage ambitious men to counter each other’s excesses and effectuate the public good.

Happy now Quddus? All your [and the rest of your fellow travelers] incendiary blatherings and hyperbolic writings have finally produced the most likely outcome.

Fortunately, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump not only failed but showed his strength and defiance in the face of all of the Democrat's non-stop vitriol and lopsided Lawfare.

This kind of fear-mongering is just way too predictable. Especially, this close to the election with a failing Democrat Campaign. They do it every time. The only thing that changes is the narrative, but the outcome is always the same; "Republicans Bad", "Republicans Evil", Republicans Racist".

Remember "The Tea Party", and "QAnon"? Then it was "White Religious Extremists" and "MAGA Republicans". Now it's the "2025 Project".

Give credit where credit is due. Democrats have great [wild] imaginations as well as the ability to create False Flag OPS. But here's the thing; In Real World this stuff just doesn't reflect reality. There is no coordinated message, or group, or movement. What there is, is the day-to-day real-life experience/struggle that nobody can deny.

And the last 4 years have been the worst anyone can recall.

So, remember this, Republicans may not be the perfect solution to your problems, however, it's the Democrats' failing policies that are the cause of them.
