    There are 300 million of us lmao you just gotta convince people to remove their representation and replace it with someone competent. Im sure the generals probably believe its not their duty or place and also fear to consequences of turning the USA into a military rule for even a second. It’s time to stop praying to a higher power for a miracle and start removing your congress people from office. They can’t hide from their voters for ever.

      The problem is, people rarely view their own representative as the problem (as long as it’s who they voted for). So if a republican view sees the country going to shut during a republican administration, at best, they’ll think it’s a bunch of other Republican reps that are messing things up for the person they chose.

        This country is gerrymandered as shit. A lot of people do view “their” representative as part of the problem, but what recourse do they have when decades of political gamesmanship has made their votes no longer count?
