Now people say OH NO, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? WHY ARENT OUR LEADERS HELPING? CAN WE BYPASS THEM? You’ve voted for decades for politicians promising a magical utopia without regard for reality, and ceded away all power to federal government, neutering local powers.

If you want to regain control, find the levers of power and start working at them. Open up recalls on your politicians. Embarrass them as they lounge in Washington DC. Humiliate them in the press. Blast them as incompetent and weak. Use your local political tools to remove them.

Remind the entire country that America was built from the local level up. Many of those powers still exist, they’ve just been passively traded away without a word. Remind your city and state that you have power over your leaders. You got yourselves into this mess. Find a way out

And here’s the clincher: When you finally regain control over your local politics NEVER CREATE THIS MESS AGAIN Every bad thing in this country has been ALLOWED by the people. American flows from local level upward. We are miserable and powerless because we CHOOSE TO BE.
