The trouble we have is that we have two governments, an elected one which is out in the open, and an unelected one which is a lot more secretive. We have a clown show up on the Hill – perhaps that’s why Pelosi et al were so upset by the events of January 6th, because that stripped away the fakery, the false dignity, and the guy in the horns wearing the fur put the icing on that cake. The only real functions that that pretend government has are to funnel money to the real government South of the Potomac, in Arlington, Crystal City, and Langley, and to serve as a distraction, misdirecting people’s attention, just like a magician uses misdirection to do his slights of hand. Attempting to overthrow the Clown Show does nothing, the Capitol could be repurposed into a shopping mall, the White House into an upscale bed and breakfast, and the Supreme Court into a temple to Pallas Athena, and the present occupants sent packing, and there wouldn’t be the slightest hitch in the governance of the US. The same can be said for most state and local governments, by the way. It’s a structural problem all the way down, and voting will have no effect on anything.
