America finds itself suddenly at an existential crossroads

The Godfather II was about relationships. Not shallow, surface relationships you’ll see on an org chart, but the deep relationships that tell you whom you can trust and whom they can trust. The Dunbar relationships that actually determine the viability of a group, community, or organization. Or, in this case, the viability of a nation.

In the next four weeks, we will come to know the true nature of the relationship between the states and the people, on one hand, to the federal government on the other.

We keep seeing these videos and posts from lifelong Democrats who've had their eyes opened. They're angry they were lied to for decades, and they love Trump for helping them see the truth. Here’s just on example.

Now, imagine how angry they will be to learn elections have no consequences because their masters never appear on ballots. How will they respond if they learn their true masters are bureaucrats and judges who decide everything for the people.

Combine the fury of the neophytes with the long-simmering anger of the Day One MAGA crowd and you'll see just how perilous the future is.

What happens when a hundred million Americans realize, not just how much of their potential wealth was stolen by these bureaucrats, judges, and politicians, but that democracy itself was long ago mummified and entombed? How will those 100 million respond to know elections are shams, no matter who wins?

Right now, seven judges have reversed every Trump action, ordered trillions more in taxes to be taken from your paycheck, and effectively declared the election null and void. Meanwhile, Republicans in the House of Representatives are about to ignore the election and order the President to continue taxing and spending as prescribed by Joe Biden in order stay in the good graces of the Democrat colleagues.

To paraphrase Hyman Roth in Godfather II, we're going to lie down for a bit. When we wake up, if we find a Congressional budget that guts rogue agencies and a Supreme Court smackdown of the Deep State judges, we'll know we have a republic. If not, we'll know we don't.
