Is it our lack of tall enough ladders or lack of rope?

If I had to answer this question in two words it is ignorance and apathy. Of course one does in some sense feed the other. The American people have no respect for history, and therefore are not knowledgeable enough to see when they are being hoodwinked. Their utter lack of cognizance, with respect to government corruption, merely makes them more apathetic, thus allowing politicians to get involved in so much corruption, with virtual immunity. A democracy that does not hold its leaders to account for their misdeeds isn’t a democracy.

Maybe most Americans don't believe in violence against their political opponents. I hope that's the reason. Violence can be a necessary political tool like in the French and American revolution or to defeat the Nazi regime, there wasn't another way.
Most people including me still believe there is a peaceful way towards change today. That begins with informing and educating yourself and trying to spread the word.

Hate to interrupt it to you, yet each and every government is corrupt to a pair degree. each and every everyday government accros time and the international has blood on its palms. to assert that the U. S. is any is to any extent further advantageous or worse is stupid (with all due comprehend). a minimum of we've the abilit as electorate to chat out against the government. maximum different societies don't have this.

There's not enough trees, dude. They're all corrupt. The trick is to find the least corrupt of the bunch. It's not easy sometimes.

Public hangings and "lynch-mob" vigilante justice are considered cruel and unusual punishment, even for the cruel and usually corrupt politicians. Why stoop to their level...when, instead, the most clever of us can ascend to their positions by using their deceptive tactics against them? LOL

Most of the corrupt ones are so fat that they've got no neck. How do you hang someone without a neck?

What keeps me from doing that is the fact that they are not worth spending the rest of my life in prison or being sent to death over.

"Stupid Americans" don't realize how corrupt our politicians are. Do you believe there are still people who support this BS administration?

Lack of sociopathic and homicidal tendencies. That is a good thing.
