re: Tucker says Congressmen including prominent high ranking members are being threatened

We live in a post-Constitutional Republic.

Our representative democracy sounds nice but really carries on largely in name only. Special interests and big money elect most of our politicians and that’s who they work for.

For our part as voters, we largely did little to nothing to prevent the same being put in year after year after year and most of the time if we bothered to vote, we’d lazily vote for those same names.

Hell, it was amazing if you could get half the eligible voters to show up in most election years.

And that’s only speaking to those who get there by being “elected”. The real power being exercised are from those who were never elected to anything but worked their way into and up through the massive, unaccountable bureaucracy.

It’s extremely sad where we are but Washington was never going to watch itself or hold itself accountable on our behalf.
