The people have gotten lazy and complacent. We are busy living our best life! No time to worry about these things that don’t directly affect us (or so we tell ourselves) so we relinquish our power and do away with our critical thinking. And most people feel they have no power or sway, so why bother. Let those we elected (gave our power to) handle it. I would guess that most people really don’t know what the Constitution says. I certainly didn’t learn about the Constitution in school. Oh wait….I do remember something about we the People in order to form a more perfect union. People just listen to what some talking head or newsreader tells us the constitution says and take it as truth. And we are being told the President has the power, so it must be true. These people surely know what they are talking about…..and you know, we just don’t have time to bother researching. Just look at medicine. Certainly the Drs. know more than us. How many of us or Drs. for that fact do their own research? Most just take the easy route and assume that if someone in a position of authority says it, they certainly must know what they are talking about.

If anything the last 4 years should be a wake up call. We were steam rolled by the "experts", the government, the medical community and even family if we said no to a experimental jab or the silly mask. The damage done on a macro level is horrendous, on a micro/personal level it is proving to be deadly.

While the Constitution was written by highly educated men it was written in a way so less educated - schooled could read it and understand it. The state delegates/legislators were farmers, shop keepers, business men and generally the population at that time did not receive formal shooling. If it gave as much power to the federal government as now claimed it would have never been ratified by the states as the states cherished their power.

Older generations at this point need to look at their life, what they had vs what they are passing on to their children and grand children. Is the world, the USA a better place than what we grew up in? I say a resounding NO! Not doing anything, even simply not talking to others is not an option in my opinion. I would like future generations to have a better life than I had, not worse. Right now we are leaving a far worse world. One of total enslavement will be the result if we do nothing. First just talking is a huge step. People have no idea what is going on, they simply need some prodding.

I hope with my stacks I trigger people to help in this death battle we are in. Hopefully the links and references I am posting along with my opinion are at least helpful and informative.

»We are busy living our best life!« – This reminds me of the infamous statement by German President Steinmeier: "We live in the best Germany ever!" — with the result that many German citizens, brainwashed by corona, the Ukraine war and pro-Israel propaganda, no longer realize that fascism is spreading again in Germany, of all places.

The irony of the story, however, is that the very people who insult all dissenters and opponents of the New Normal narrative as Nazis are reintroducing fascism in Germany — in other words, promoting the very thing they are supposedly fighting against. This is hypocrisy in the best fascist manner!
