It looks like the socialism trial is coming to a close, for now. We will all go back to our normal lives until the next chapter in the attack on freedom.\\
\\
What have we learned from this experience? I’ll tell you what the big government elitists have learned.\\
\\
They’ve learned that the American people are very easily controlled with fear. They’ve reinforced their prior understanding that we are quite willing to give up some liberties for a little perceived security. (I wonder which of these "temporary" restrictions will become permanent.)\\
\\
They have learned that Americans still chafe at being controlled for too long, but they got us more used to that idea with measures like mail-in voting.\\
\\
They now have to devise a way to make the control permanent without arousing our independent streak. Are we going to be ready? Why should we even give them the opportunity?\\
\\
Why do we not go on the offensive, for once? Why don’t we burn down their playhouse while we have them in retreat for the moment?\\
\\
Why do we always give them time to lick their wounds, make a new plan, and attack us again and again? I, for one, am tired of this scenario.\\
\\
Let’s use what the Framers of the Constitution gave us to use to fight tyranny. Let’s restore our constitutional republic.\\
\\
In his Farewell Address in 1796, George Washington said, “If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates.”\\
\\
Let’s use Article V as was intended and do what George suggests.
