1) Where we are: This is much, much bigger than a fraudulent election (it was) or rampant gubment tyrannical China Virus abuse (it is).
2) What we are facing has been building for a good 30 years.
3) I date it back to the GOP failure to defeat Clinton in the gubment shutdown.
4) If you went to public school, that would be the 1995 budget battle.
5) The brand new GOP Congress, with plenty of public support, failed to rein in a Clinton bloated budget.
6) It wasn't the numbers. Compared to today's deficits & debts, this was pocket change. Rather, this was the first time since the Cold War, which was a legit excuse for constant deficit spending, that Congress failed to do its MAIN constitutional duty--oversee spending.
7) No, this isn't a thread about deficits or debt. At present, I don't think those pose the biggest challenge to us, or even probably one of the top five.
8) Rather, this is about a deadly disease that hit DC & the patient refused to take any medicine for it.
9) The disease was the failure to address the major problems of the day, whether it was deficits, Islamic terrorism, the banking crisis, or trade.
10) Vote fraud & this frankenstein of an election is only the latest SYMPTOM of this much larger disease.
