For all the good and critical things Trump has exposed and changed, they all can come to naught unless we the people classify them in clear language that can not be deliberately mis-interpreted by conniving politicians/scoundrels, and place them into Constitutional Law, they will have the staying power of smoke when the next Liberal Democratic Socialist administration has the majority in both houses.
We have all seen how fast the Biden administration reduced what Trump originally did for America, into the dustpan of history. We have also seen how Trump has done the same to the destructive laws rules regulations and perversions forced on us by Obama and Biden. This back and forth will surely destroy us in the long run. It amounts to a house divided, and a house divided can not continue. No society has ever survived when it was whipsawed back and forth between opposing societal ideologies. No society could defend itself against external forces when it's people were fighting each other. In fact divide and conquer is a main tenet of military action against an enemy. Why can't both sides see that is what is happening to America internally right now?
We have very little time left, if we have any time left, to reverse what is happening to us and prevent it from getting worse. We have to rein in both parties and force them to cooperate with the wishes of the people. We also have to insure that cooperation will continue. There is no way we can vote ourselves out of the mess we allowed to happen by not keeping our representatives in check. At this point we can not trust our representatives to do the right thing let alone actually represent us.
We can't trust campaign promises. We can't trust our politicians, We can't trust laws, rules, or regulations, because they can readily be ended or reversed. The only recourse we actually have that will last longer than the other avenues of change, is the Amendment process. It will not last forever either as evidenced by the repeal of the prohibition amendment. Now, can we trust our politicians to propose amendments that will reduce their power and financial status? I don't think so. If we look closely at the Amendments after the Bill of Rights, we can see where they basically benefit the politicians more than they benefit the people.
There lies the reason our Founders and Framers of the Constitution included the people in the Article-V amendment proposal process. The process is deliberately cumbersome and unwieldly for both the Congress and the people to use it, to change how the provisions of the Constitution are interpreted by the Courts and society at large. The safeguards are actually the same for the Congress or the People when they choose to use them to correct any problems that arise.
The final question is; Who do you trust more to protect and represent the actual will of the people?
Congressional lifetime politicians who have their own interests at heart, or the majority of the people themselves?
We are at a cusp. This will not last long timewise. We need to decide right now if we want to take our survival into our own hands and protect it, or if we want to be lazy and believe that others with their own personal agendas will protect it for us.
I believe it is up to us to protect ourselves.
That being said, we must move right now to initiate the process of State Legislatures to petition Congress for an Article-V amendment proposal, convention and get 34 States Legislatures to listen to the people.
There will be many frightened naysayers, and many paid doomsayers, confronting us in this endeavor. The powers that be will not sit silently by and allow anything, to challenge their carefully constructed power niches, by allowing the people to actually have their say in how government is run, and what it decides about how the people will act. That is not our American Legacy, nor is it the legacy of a truly free people. Like I have said before, "We are at a Crossroads in our history". WE can either take charge and protect the freedoms won for us by our Founders, or we can simply give up and allow the dark forces to overtake and destroy us for their benefit.
Which will, it be? America return to God, keep, his commandments, and protect our god given rights? Or, allow the dark, petty, self absorbed forces, enslave us? The choice is ours!
