Drip Drip Drip, Things Slowly Change Without Noticing & Then Suddenly Fall Apart Without Warning

In politics, as with anything we do or set out to accomplish in life, “How” something is achieved or done is just as important as “Why” it is done. When you sacrifice your personal principles, allowing your desired outcome to direct your actions without any deliberation or consideration for the World and people around you, you not only cheapen your purpose or objective but, ultimately, you become the very thing you purport to hate.

A victory obtained by cheating is a hollow victory, and an outcome achieved illegally is illegitimate. 

For decades, in an effort to not only deflect and absolve themselves of any possible sense of guilt, shame, or personal responsibility but more so to avert any unwanted, albeit warranted, negative political attention, public criticism, and/or legal scrutiny over scandalous and likely illicit or actionable controversies —(that could perhaps cause them or the Party embarrassment, potentially even resulting in irreparable career-damaging or ending repercussions, or worse yet, incarceration)— that ordinarily, one might expect to materialize from any sort of immoral, unethical, and more often than not, corrupt or criminal wrongdoings, Democrats have been preying on and playing politics with people’s lives and emotions. 

Not only gaslighting but justifying their iniquities and hence bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase or doctrine “Situational Ethics” by engaging in a psychological game of mind control by parsing and excusing away their otherwise indefensible behavior by arguing or coercively suggesting that “The ends justify the means.” —By any means necessary. 

A concept or Machiavelli Doctrine that, irrespective of the ensuing collateral damage, of who gets hurt, incidentally killed, or possibly even intentionally murdered as a consequence of the resulting fallout or backlash, has not only been largely embraced and exploited for centuries by less well-meaning leaders around the World in their struggle for power but one that has ultimately now thrust the United States, a Nation founded on the intrinsic principle of “Freedom,” onto what is, or at least was, up until January 20th, 2025, fast becoming a perilous one-way highway to One-Party Progressive totalitarianism steeped in chaos, destruction, and death. 

Suffice it to say, whatever the next, new, or latest irrational or idealistic “Kumbaya utopian ends justify the anything goes means” fallacy that Democrats are evincing, exploiting, and echoing out into the Woke ether so as to manipulate the masses in order to undermine, subvert, and ultimately jettison the structural and functional framework of our Constitution, is, at least for the purposes of this article, beside the point and irrelevant. 

And why?

Well, because absolutely nothing Democrats could sell, say, or do, including their deceptive, not to mention manipulative, ad nauseam tug-on-the-heartstrings DEI pretext, is worth the price that they, by implication, are demanding we pay, which is to willingly sacrifice our Freedoms at the altar of their spurious “Woke” equity ends in exchange for their permanent ascendancy to "One-Party Rule, Power, and Glory."

Of course, if that approach fails, there’s always plan B of plan A through whatever it takes, which is to continue Amendment by Article, by Clause, and by Section to chip away at The Bill of Rights to the Constitution and the Constitution writ large. 

Obviously, for no other justifiable purpose or reason other than to regulate our Freedoms and ultimately relegate our Rights out of existence and into “The Bill of Screw Your Rights” in the Democrat's quest to seize power from the people and ultimately assume complete control over every facet of our lives from the cradle to the grave.

The reality is, irrespective of their Oath to uphold, defend, and protect the Constitution, Democrats have not only long, albeit not overtly but allusively, expressed their utter contempt for our Founding Document, despite their occasional verbiage and bluster to the contrary when, of course, it conveniently benefits their self-serving narrative, but they have also consistently undermined it as though the Constitutional limits on their powers don’t pertain or apply to them.

And why?

Well, because the Constitution, which has long served as a bulwark against Government tyranny, centered around the core principle of “Popular Sovereignty,” or “Self-Governance,” in that our Government was created “By, Of, and For the People,” existing solely to represent, protect, and serve them —(and not the ideological interests of the Democrat Party and its Progressive One-World-Order agenda)— deriving its just powers by and from the consent of the governed, i.e., the people, is obviously not only a hindrance to but it is ostensively and invariably antithetical to their Marxist ideology and agenda.

However, try as they may  —(whether through lies, propaganda, and/or other manipulative means, including legislative proposals wantonly written into and hidden on page 666 or whatever of a 6,666 page porked up boondoggle of a bill that was, with malice of forethought, devised to not only waste and wash taxpayer dollars through a brawling bureaucracy and into the Democrats Personal Progressive Piggy Bank, but ultimately to consolidate power and run roughshod over our basic Constitutional Rights)—  Democrats cannot, under any circumstances, do whatever they want, not even during times of catastrophic upheaval, insecurity, or uncertainty. 

In fact, there are several explicit, nonnegotiable limitations on the Government's powers, expressly prohibiting Democrats or any Government Official, for that matter, from infringing on our core civil liberties or unalienable Rights as enumerated in the Bill of Rights. 

To name but a few: Democrats may not infringe on our Right to "Speak and be Heard," they may not infringe on our Right to "Keep and Bear Arms," they may not violate our Right to "Be Secure in our Persons, Houses, Papers, and Effects, against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures," and they may not deprive any person of "Life, Liberty, or Property," without "Due Process" of law.

These are not subjective recommendations open to interpretation; rather, they are immutable guarantees that our Government cannot violate under any circumstances. 

As Republican President Ronald Reagan opined in his Farewell Address to the Nation: “America is freedom-freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It’s fragile; it needs protection.”

The fact of the matter is that the only reason our Government exists is because “We the People instituted and empowered it” to protect us, the People, our Rights, and our Freedoms. 

Our Founders simply viewed Government as a framework of rules and laws to safeguard our Rights and Liberties, which would, in effect, allow free and virtuous people to thrive, to build a life that was safe, secure, and orderly in the pursuit of "Life, Liberty, Happiness, Family, and the American Dream."

Nevertheless, that said, regrettably, we have reached a point in American politics where it is no longer simply about protecting and defending the people, our Republic, and preserving our Rights, or even one Party against the other. 

It runs far deeper than just that, than anything any of us, at least for a time whilst busy and immersed in our own lives and problems, would have or could have realized or recognized, much less considered, envisioned, or possibly even fathomed was transpiring right under our noses without first being strapped to a gurney and shocked into opening our eyes to the Government around us and our minds to the question, “What in the hell has our Government, have Democrats, done to America, to this once “Shining city on a hill?”

The short and unsweet answer: A Government-sanctioned coup d'état. A malign scheme to consolidate power. To restructure and fundamentally transform our Government and Nation into a One-Party Centralized Administrative Nanny State. 

In other words, a plot to destroy our Republic that is currently being waged by a cabal of “Robin Hood in Reverse” like Establishment Democrats and their Deep State Bureaucratic allies who, aided and abetted by their Article III Antichrists in crime, are currently masked and masquerading as righteous do-gooder Jurists and politicians whilst straddled to their high horses and professing to be fighting tyranny, albeit implied or suppositional subjective tyranny, of course, by virtue or “means” of actual applied or empirical objective tyranny… 

Ergo, becoming that which they purport to be fighting because, after all, you are what you do, not what you say you are doing… Evil done under “claims” of righteousness is still evil. 

Unfortunately, this is what happens when people, by their direct actions, are either too easily manipulated or indoctrinated, obediently nodding their groupthink heads in approval and doing as they are exploited and commanded to do. Or when people, by their indirect inactions, are intimidated and hence too afraid to speak out in protest, closing their eyes in denial. Or when people are either indifferent or possibly even mistakenly misguided by the false premise that their individual actions cannot make a difference, they can, and they do. Or when people are too distracted and busy to care, not paying attention to the slow, innocuous drip-drip loss or surrender of our Freedoms to our Government. 

To the drips of divisive divide and conquer politics, tactics, and rhetoric, to the drips of legislative sell-outs to lobbyists, whether foreign or domestic, to the drips of undermining our Constitution one Section of one Clause of one Amendment or Article at a time, infringing our core civil liberties or unalienable Rights without consequence, and to the drips of “Rules for thee, not for me” Judicial double standards, betrayals, and treachery… 

Drips of unchecked political wrongdoings, of fraud, of abuse, and of corruption collecting and pooling in a murky swamp of unfettered power, influence, control, and, ultimately, tyranny. 

You see, “That’s the thing about change. Clues of what's coming keep dripping. Not with ominous plops or grand announcements but with a familiar tone of a lullaby…” drip-drip-drip, things slowly change without noticing and then suddenly fall apart without warning. The “Unnoticeable, gradually eventually leads to suddenly.”

So pay attention!

Time and time again, Democrats have shown us who they are, demonstrating over and over again that “Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely” and that they will go to any length with no defining objective or otherwise moral compass and/or ethical principle guiding or determining how much “means to their ends” is enough and how far is too far.

During Joe Biden’s tenure, Democrats, under the auspices of The Emergency Powers Act and their “Never let a good crisis go to waste” doctrine, exploited the hysteria surrounding the pandemic to their selfish ends, to, in effect and by proxy, not only:

1)— Render our Constitution moot. 

3)— Rewrite and/or Whitewash history.

4)— Prioritize the interests of foreign countries and denizens over the safety, security, and sovereignty of America and American citizens.

5)— Remake our Free-Market Capitalist Economy into a Marxist System of Centralized Socialism. 

6)— Censor our Free Speech Rights in order to stomp out dissent in an effort to quite literally mandate and control, as I mentioned earlier, every facet of our lives from the cradle to the grave.

But they also, amongst a number of other egregious violations, weaponized our Justice Department and Judiciary against not only:

7)— Their political opponents, particularly President Trump. Violating his Constitutional “Due Process” Rights, Protections, and Guarantees. Even issuing sweeping Gag Orders against him, not only in violation of his basic 1st Amendment Right to “Speak and be Heard,” but also in violation of the 1st Amendment’s prohibition on “Prior Restraint,” ergo not only effectively taking away defendant Donald Trump’s Right to publicly speak out in his own defense but also jolting us back to the pre-Magna Carta days of Anglo-Saxon England.

But also against: 

8)— J6 defendants, holding them captive as political prisoners, in squalid conditions, for four years, without “Due Process” Rights, and on felony charges for what was, at best, at least, for the majority of defendants, misdemeanor charges.

Suffice it to say, what we have witnessed over time, particularly under the Obama/Biden then the Biden/Harris Administrations, or moreover, Regimes was the overt diminution of American justice or, as the Declaration of Independence so eloquently describes it: "When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism…”

Indeed, Democrats, a Party of Cultural Marxist Men and Women, who, with little to no integrity or regard for the American people, are clearly not only malleable to corrupt outside forces and influences but who are so desperate, so depraved, and so drunk and utterly bewitched and so spellbound by the primal allure of Absolute Power that they would much rather see our Republic collapse into ruin and our streets stained red with the blood of innocent Americans than to admit that Trump was right, accept defeat, reflect on their failures, faults, and fraud, change course, and work with President Trump for the betterment of our Nation and people. 

For far too long, we have stood in silence on the sidelines, collectively turning the other cheek as Democrats abused and continue to abuse, violate, and play politics with the lives of Americans and our Constitutional Principles. 

We not only failed to recognize and rectify the dangers posed to our Republic, our Rights, our Civil Liberties, and the American people writ large, but we also, in most cases, by tacit consent, without interposing much, if any objections, allowed a single Party, the Democrat Party to infiltrate and infect every Agency and Institution in the Nation with the pervasive stench and rot of their Marxist ideology and corruption, as they exempt themselves from the “Rule of Law," assuming the role of Judge, Jury, and Executioner.

And now, “We the People” are paying the price for our own complacency.

The Declaration of Independence states that: “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

What does this mean? 

It means our unalienable Rights and Freedoms, later enshrined in the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution, come from our maker and not from the Government, a Monarchy, or King, but from God and God alone. Everything our Founding Fathers fought for and built was centered and created around the concept and ideals that embody Freedom and the American Dream, the Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness for “We the People“ and not for Governments, Congress, or despots who seek to subjugate, prosecute, and jail those who oppose their tyranny. 

So, whatever your reasons may be for remaining silent on the sidelines, the fact remains that "tyrants thrive on that silence and submission," but they “collapse in the face of courage and unity.” —Stand tall, hold your head up high, speak up, let your voice be heard, and fight for your freedoms.
