Sorry, But It Is Our Job

[Elderberry]

Texas Scorecard by  Michael Quinn Sullivan  May 26, 2023

Our system of government only works when the citizens are engaged.

There is a lie whispered by tyrants, spoken by sycophants, and repeated by patriots. It is a lie that has undermined our Republic and will be the undoing of our liberty.

That lie is one I hear all too frequently, spoken as though it were holy writ. “I just wish I could go back to a time when I didn’t have to pay attention to government.”

It is a lie I have become frustrated hearing repeated by people who should know better. So much so, I have begun to respond to it with an admittedly snarky question: “So, you must be eager to have King Charles and Lady Camilla reign over you? Or, perhaps, you think the German chancellor would be a nice ruler?”

Because, fundamentally, that is the choice. We can be a self-governing Republic, or we can be a subservient people governed by tyrants.

Our system of government only works when the citizens are engaged. As citizens, it is our job – every day – to pay attention to the government. The extent to which we stop being engaged is in direct proportion to the loss of liberty and the rise of tyranny.

It's effective.  After seven years of proved and rampant government fraud, corruption, sedition, tyrannical lawfare and erasing Constitutionally guaranteed rights  ---  it's such an enormous and welcomed comfort to be assured this is all just someone's "baggage" ---- as a sainted swamp creature, RDS, from the free state of Florida has told us.  Heaven knows *he* has no reason to lie.

Yes, and that swamp creature from Florida was in charge for four of those seven years.

But given your posting history, you must be thinking of someone else.

@jmyrlefuller had it right.  Trump was indeed in charge during four of those seven years.  Not sure what Ron DeSantis has to do with it.  Or with this topic, for that matter.

Got a quote on that?  Or is this simply more of your made-up bullshit?

Apparently though, you do.
