The choice is very simple. Either keep talking the talk or choose a course of action and walk the walk.
The old concept of voting to elect someone to represent us as an individual was the patriotic duty. The duty was fulfilled with the casting of the vote. But as the Democrats have learned decades ago it is only half of our duty. The other half is to know how the elected official actually votes on all of the various issues.
The Democrats have been screening out their non performers, not voting the party line, for many election cycles now. Kristen Sinema of Az. is just the latest example of that purge. The Republicans on the other hand revel in chaos, in diversity of opinion and view within their ranks, and perpetually tolerate those who vote with the Democrats.
This explains why when the Republicans have control, that they seldom reverse any legislation passed by the Democrats. There are simply too many RINOS being reelected time and time again. Currently, Kevin McCarthy leads the pact of RINOS.
When the individual Republican voter demands a party line vote from their representative then we will see a change of course.
It will be very helpful for those of us getting the sharp end of the spear to withdraw from the UN. It should be completely defunded and left to rot. The rot is already there so it would collapse fairly quickly. The UN is the elites vehicle of choice and is their ideal Trojan Horse where they can infect every society and do it in the name of the social good. Really the "One World Order" needs the UN to impose their vision on the rest of us. Without it they will have to go country by country, and it will require a lot more time and energy and money to achieve. They may actually have to work hard for it, then they would have to give it up. The elites make others do their hard work for them, so they can enjoy their life of leisure.
"well, i knew outer space had to come into it somewhere."
in all seriousness, people had been intentionally trying to change the political environment for millennia prior to the existence of our little democratic republic, and probably always will. those who can adapt do so. those who can't become fossils. trumpism is the last hurrah of forty years of backlash against classic pluralism, and "woke-ism" is little more than the backlash against that. hopefully we'll find some equilibrium soon.

Yes, but what is to be done?
