Marjorie Taylor Greene – who was an ardent supporter of Trump until Trump betrayed MAGA – told Alex Jones the other day that the time has come to “burn the Republican Party to the ground” because it is lousy with foreign agents working for MIGA. That is to say, the Republicna Party – and Trump, specifically – are (effectively) agents of the state of Israel. Or at least, so slavishly beholden to its interests that they might as well be literally on the payroll. Or just a member of the cult. The one that believes – say it with the eyes-shut, jazz hands fervency of a Christian evangelist preacher such as John Hagee – that the state of Israel, run by secular (and militantly socialist) Zionists – is the incarnation of the Israel mentioned in the Bible.

The modern Israelis – the Zionists – certainly believe it. Or at least, act on it. It amounts to the same thing. They are self-chosen and their destiny is to rule the world. Imbeciles such as Hagee believe they will rule alongside. They are the latter-days incarnation of Lenin’s “useful idiots.”

You can listen to the interview on Xcrement; see here.

She has, as they say, a point. Put another way, what was the point of voting for Trump given what we got was MIGA rather than MAGA? The next election – assuming there is one – will be the same, because no matter who we vote for, we’ll get Bibi “Netanyahu” again.

What MGT does not articulate but seems to be working her way toward is that the GOP has never been the proper home of MAGA because it has always been the party of MFGGA – Make the Federal Government Great Again.

It has its origins in the Whig Party, which ad its origins in the Federalist Part of Hamilton and his like; i.e., the men who despised the Articles of Confederation, which set up a weak federal authority with very few and very limited powers. The Federalists were behind the conspiracy that created the Constitution, which was designed specifically to greatly increase the power of the federal government, both at the time and going forward – via the calculated (deliberate) insertion of vague language about the “common good” and the “general welfare” as well as “necessary and proper.” These words were chosen by lawyers who know that words matter – especially when you get to interpret them to get what you want done. These lawyers knew that – as time went on and memories of the struggle for independence faded and died out – a new generation of lawyers would find ways to justify the inexorable increase of the power of the federal government.

For a few score years, the Jeffersonians kept them at bay. But then came Abe Lincoln – the founder of the Republican Party – and the war that established federal supremacy and by dint of that, enslaved us all. It is absurd to think that the Party of Lincoln can ever be other than what it is; i.e., the Party of Federal Power. Trump is its exemplar, ruling largely by decree – as Lincoln did. The latter went further than Trump has – so far – by having people arrested for daring to contradict or question him publicly, event to the extent of threatening to imprison a sitting Supreme Court justice.

We all know the rest. The right to be governed by consent became a parody of pathetic pantomime. “Elections” are held but no real choice is offered. Americans are free to choose from either of two variants of the same thing. Unsurprisingly, they get what they are allowed to vote for.

Republican voters are beginning – at last – to understand this. For much too long, they let themselves believe that by voting Republican, they might get something different. This last time was perhaps – hopefully – the final straw.

Not that voting for some other party will change anything.

The one thing that would is if enough of us decide to make America great again – by not voting, ever again.  Why? Because it is an absurdity to believe that you can be “represented” by someone who is under no legal (let alone moral) obligation to actually represent you. Who can do exactly the opposite of  what he promised to do – viz, Trump – and there is nothing you can (legally) do, other than Vote Harder next time. And because it it a moral obscenity to vote to deprive another person of their property or their liberty.

Rights are – ought not to be – subject to a vote. They either are – or are not – rights. If they aren’t – if they can be voted on – then they are just conditional privileges and slaves are allowed those.

So, she’s on the right track. She is waking up. As more of us do, there is a chance we may actually recover our rights.

Something that Voting Harder next time will never accomplish.
