Retribution

The idea that the government should fear the people is something the Founders intended. We have lost that lever.

I see people acting as if they are worried about Trump executing personal revenge and retribution.

I got news for them. It ain't just Trump who has a taste for a little blood.

This is not just a Trump thing, Biden, Democrats, and DC bureaucrats have materially hurt every person in the middle class - and whether they understand it or not, untrammeled illegal immigration hurts the most vulnerable in the country.

We SHOULD want retribution. Washington SHOULD fear us.

That is what is missing today - Government treats us like Democrats treat the black voter - it is just assumed we will always take it and they will pay no price.

The proof is in the fact nobody in DC ever pays the price, and if they do, it is just show because within a short time period, they are always restored. James Clapper, John Brennan and Andrew McCabe lied to Congress, and you can find them on MSNBC and CNN and not in jail. McCabe even had his pension restored. Kevin Klinesmith falsified a FISA warrant, for which he lost his law license, but a year later it was restored.

Without that there is no cost for their mistakes. There is a quote, and I'm paraphrasing here, that when someone in the private sector makes a mistake, they face consequences, when it happens in government, the taxpayers face the consequences.

I'm ready for a little retribution.

How about you?

Jan 6th exposed the idea, especially within the Democrats, that Congresspeople think they are untouchable, essentially the new royalty.

Pelosi and Carville talk about an assault on the "Temple of Democracy" as if DC didn't belong to the people and not to the politicians.

I don't agree with the violence and the damage done, but I do agree with the overwhelming feeling that in the aftermath of the 2020 election, the concerns of half of America were dismissed without so much as a howdy do.

When Democrats and NeverTrumpers dismiss J6 as an "insurrection", that is their way of obscuring the legitimate concerns of many good people.

As I said at the time, I have no hard evidence the election was compromised but I also have none it wasn't. The fact is, it is impossible for an individual to know for sure, we just don't have the power or the resources to root out corruption - or confirm everything was according to Hoyle.

But they refused to produce evidence to back up their claims other than "Just trust us" or even look.

That is why we are owed an answer better than "It was the most secure election in history, so shut up!", after the very same people who made those claims just knew the day before the election the Russians were influencing it for Trump.

People who turn on a dime like that are NOT to be trusted, no matter what political party flag they fly.

The belief they are royals made of, as James Madison said in Federalist #51, "finer clay" than the rest of us is a concept of which they must be disabused and disabused of now.

That doesn't mean an actual armed insurrection. Each of our representatives and senators need to be tracked down when they are home and exposed to our confusion and anger. They need to be made to feel what we are feeling - at the state and the federal level.

In the conversations about terrorists, we often think that if the terrorists loved their children more than they hated us, there would be no terrorism.

I would say for our government at all levels, if the politicians respected (or feared) the people more than they love their own rewards, there would be no corruption.

That is exactly how it is supposed to work.
