Dear Friends,
It seems to me, when a faction refuses to work within the existing political framework, but instead smashes through it, they break that system… usually fundamentally and permanently. One thing history teaches us is that new political systems fail at an alarming rate. Edmond Burke is still loathed for explaining that the French Revolution would fail, ushering in horrors and crimes against humanity. Boy was he right. New political systems are almost always set up to benefit the faction that creates them. This is never more true than when a cabal sets up a socialist utilitarian system. Seldom do founders set up a system like Rome’s Republic or the US Constitutional Republic. That is why it is so important not to ruin a long standing functioning system, for temporary power, everyone loses in the end.
Political systems have red lines for a reason. They keep political discourse and temporary emotions from getting out of hand. When a faction resorts to street violence to push a political agenda… they break the system. Parties that pervert their authority to personal political ends corrupt the system. People who engage in vote fraud undermine the democratic element of the system. While tossing out standing norms, because they limit you, can only be characterized as smashing the system to get your way. These childish actions are not how a human hearted adult acts. Every red line has been crossed for political power… and it is working. All the proof you need is the fact we don’t know how the elections in several states turned out, they still have not been decided a day later.
Once people get power, who are unable to control themselves at least enough to stay within the well defined and existing political boundaries, will rip holes in that system. Others must follow in the holes created, else become powerless by staying within the now outdated norms, ripping and further shredding the fabric of the system. No system, no matter how well woven or the thread it is made of can withstand too many rips, rends, and gashes before becoming unusable. Once that happens, we are in the position of another French Revolution… and the crimes against humanity that followed. Of course, the wars that took a generation of French youth, and the economic as well as social issues that the “rational” government created, didn’t help. Nor will an despotic administrative state.
The reason elites are willing to destroy a system that has functioned so well for so long is because it stands in their way. Their ambition exceeds the political limitations. The history of mankind has been one of tyrants, conquerors and despots. The reason ancient Athens is remembered today is that it was one of the extremely few examples of non despotic government. The same goes of Rome in it’s republican years. Constitutions were invented to minimize the power of rulers and kings but progressives have found ways around them. Nevertheless, a constitution is a limiting document and so they must be neutralized, for the elite to rule as they historically have… despotically. To return to the Rights of kings, progressives need to destroy the system… to make one that better serves them.
Our constitutional system is in tatters today. The day after a major election we don’t know who the winner is. That is almost unprecedented in modern US history, other than Bush v Gore. Even then there was only one state in question. Today, several states dare not announce, as lawyers are gearing up for a lawfare war to decide the next President. Almost half the US population agrees with the elite, and are willing to destroy their own safety net, our Constitution, to give the elite unlimited power. To that end they are willing to fight in the streets, boycott, cancel, abuse family, use vote fraud, ignore scandal, etc… Very progressive. There is no question we have used our Constitution as a door mat for too long. Unless we pick it up, dust it off and sew it back together… we will learn first hand how wise Burke was.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
