Mutual recriminations flew yesterday between trump and Musk. [FN1] It might seem easier to watch this drama play out on a smart phone as you keep a brisk pace on your treadmill, but there has to be a re-boot to restore our national and State governments to pre-2016. 1/9

1) No one in 1776 suggested 15% of the vote should win an election. The Virginia Declaration of Rights [FN2] describes majority rule as “an indubitable, unalienable and indefeasible right.” The maga effort to steal elections spreads the lie that trump always has > votes. 2/9

2) G. Edward Griffin started the Red Pill Expo. Griffin has said that he & his confederates, w/a little help from 2A, can prevail in the war that is being fought & need only 15% of the people in this country to support them and they will win. [FN3] 3/9

3) To simply remove trump from office allows the far right to keep the results of the illegal acts of the RICO [FN4] that this GOP has become. The barrage of posts and rude comments on various social media platforms are not from individuals. Many are from troll farms. 4/9

4) Any officials who participated in the 2016 coup or the Jan 6 insurrection should be deemed no longer qualified to hold office under Amendment XIV, sec. 3. That must be done now, or else the illusion that we survived trump and restored the system will be just that: illusion. 5/9

Our system was taken over by people in a minority that has been made to sound much greater in social media. To restore our system, we need to use means at our disposal, including 14.3. We do not have much time to save our republic. At least we have a chance. 6/9

FN3. Griffin was a guest on “Mouthwash,” FB, 7/5/22, in advance of the Red Pill Expo visiting Indy 7/9 and 7/10/22. Red Pill Expo has been described by a human rights advocate as a vehicle for alt-right recruitment.
