The problem is that people who go to Congress to do the right thing are actively working to reduce their own power, according to Constitution principles. The authoritarian Left and establishment criminals actively work to increase their own power and wealth. Good people in government will always be fighting uphill as a result.
That's why the Founding Fathers warned us that we'd have to watch the government constantly and be ready to refresh the Tree of Liberty. People with power will inevitably seek to exercise it and consolidate it. The only thing that will limit this greed and ambition is fear.
As Jefferson said: "When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty." If the people in government aren't afraid that something might happen to them, they're free to try anything.
I’m open to discussing it, but I gotta tell you this has been tried many times & never worked. The GOP is not your friend. Good example- the Tea Party. GOP was not having it. What happened to them? Obama sent the IRS to attack Tea Party groups. Why would Obama care? If there’s some turmoil in the GOP, that’s good for Dems, right? Nah. Controlled opposition & swamp creatures stick together to keep the circus tent up.
All I am going to say is "good luck with that".

As if votes matter.
