Does anyone else besides me feel like ‘*forget* politics’ sometimes? (Wrning, long)

I despise it and very, very rarely even come to this board. Have given up politics for Lent as they disgust my spirit

Other than scanning this forum, I've checked out. There's no point in following politics or tuning in to the media to get your news.

You know.. I never really cared about politics until these past few years...

But when Trump went into office and I saw how the Democrats have acted it sort of opened my eyes to a lot of things.

Now I see people reading stories about transgenders to third graders, drag queens readin to toddlers in libraries.. and story after story how everybody is a white supremist because they are republicans, or voted for Trump, or just think that Professional athletes should not be teaching our kids that our Flag, country and our history is not great.

I see people in politics yelling defund the police and then see crime rates spiraling out of control, and instead of admitting they were wrong or trying to correct the situation they point fingers and blame society as systematic racism as the cause of it.

I am still seeing a left leaning politicians try to turn us more and more socialist while advancing China on their goal to become the number one dominating power in the world while not seemingly giving a crap about the struggles of our own Nation through our own manufacturing to provide for ourselves. I am seeing more and more of our farmland being sold to China.

I am very interested in politics now, because I am really concerned that out country is going down the drain faster than a duck to water.

I see children that I suspect are still living at home with their parents -playing video games- marching in protests saying that our country needs to change and we need this and that, but yet not knowing what they really need because they are not paying a mortgage or even holding a steady job but the temptation of free stuff without the thoughts of how it's paid for seems idiotic.

Yes. I am paying close attention to politics... Because I am gravely concerned about what was once a lovely country that people fought and died for, caravans of immigrants are traveling thousands of miles to get here and then warn us not to become like the country that they left... That it concerns me greatly.

Politics haven't been that way since the Founding Fathers and even then, I suspect there was some shenanigans.

I've realized that NATIONAL 'politics' - debate and voting - will not be what determines the future of this Nation, because, both debate and voting have become corrupt. This is what you have also realized, RG...and it's depressing because the abandonment of debate and voting only leaves TWO choices for redress of grievance. Such being, acquiesce to the will of a corrupt Majority (Democracy, pure version, of the which the Constitution nullified)...or....nullify Democracy ("mob rule") via Second Amendment means. The latter is oft alluded to in Constitutional principle discourse. But of course, the Opposition labels such as 'Insurrection'; though IRL, it is those who promote PURE DEMOCRACY who have abandoned Constitutional Principle of God-given Rights which can NOT be nullified by the will of a Majority.

There is somewhat a chance of controlling Local politics; but as the 'Government' controls printing of money which is then allocated to Local Government and Private Retirement Income as well...well...not rocket science to see where power lies. But this power is only realized UNTIL the 'money printing' collapses; which it must and will. When...nobody knows. And when it does, the Dems will look to a Global Monetary Mechanism to establish a new, Monetary Exchange System. Enter the Book of Revelation's "White Horse", if one is a believer in Christian Eschatology; and the collapse of said Global Monetary System as being the impetus for massive, societal calamity.

And you thought yours was "long".

IMO, go to your Faith, Brother...if you have any. If you don't, get some. Eternity is a long time. What happens in a few years of relative Human imperfection is irrelevant, but for the (positive) effect such may have on building Character via the educational process.
