This Republic has been under attack from within since September 4, 1783 and the plot to separate the people from their liberty started before the ink was even dry on the BOR.
RAH stated, āThe human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desireā and with that, he hit dead center of the āXā where it intersects. I would even take it a step further, personally believing the control/no control mindset transcends āpoliticalā boundaries.
It is a fact that wherever / whenever there are folks who are free or long to be free, there have always been and always will be people who wish to put an end to it.
Yeah...there are folks out in the open who wish to have control over every facet of the lives of free people. There may be folks in the shadows who wish to do the same and they may be pulling the strings of those out in the open. It may be a gigantic āpuzzleā where many of them are somehow linked. So be it...really no changing that and hand-wringing aināt gonna make it any better.
So what do we do?
Focus on your immediate circle...your safety, security and welfare. It may just be you. For others, it may be a wife and kids. Take responsibility for that safety, security and welfare. Do everything you possibly can to keep yourself mentally, physically and spiritually (not necessarily based on faith/religion) fit to safeguard it. Control the things you can control.
