Can "Clean" Democracy-Style Elections Produce Adequate Government for the USA Today?
The domestic critics and opponents of the current government of the USA are obsessed with: clean and fair elections, bringing criminals to justice, bringing about an isolationist foreign policy, and sealing the borders.
Problem is, in their enthusiasm for these things they nostalgically long for, they forget that even if all these dreams of theirs were to be realized, their country & by extension its natural allies would still be in a sorry and pathetic state. They forget that from 1980 to 2000, the elections were cleaner (few complaints have been heard about most of them), there were not as many criminals getting away with crimes, the USA was not involved in wars, but still, nevertheless, the USA was in a sorry state and had already committed crimes against foreigners and become a loser and the father of the bastard that is the USA today.
They forget, that all this mis-government that they now hate, inherited a national and international situation that was created by the "cleanly elected" democracy-style elections of the past. The situation created by these elected governments has had a major impact on the conduct of the current leaders of the USA nation.
They forget, that the American democracy has in the past shown itself incapable of doing things that have to be done; and they forget that even a USA government elected through clean elections, will all the more be completely incapable of dealing with current problems that by comparison dwarf the problems the nostalgically longed-for US democracies of the past had to face.
Plenty of the macho patriots seem to be too fat-headed to understand that militaries and spy agencies run on money. The USA is economically speaking a mirage in a desert; everything is running on money borrowed from foreigners by the federal government, by the state governments, by the local governments, by the businesses, and by the consumers. One dollar borrowed from foreigners can swirl around the country changing hands as things are bought and sold adding twenty dollars to the USA economy. Likewise the reverse takes effect as the bills come due resulting in one dollar paid back to foreign creditors taking twenty dollars in income out of the economy. This situation began to exist and existed even in the days when the elections were elections regarding which few ever ended up complaing about their legitimacy.
the "cleanly elected" governments created by voting in the past, gave birth to the kind of fungus-friendly climate in which the current government the critics hate was able to seize control. The cleanly elected governments of the past, created for the nation a national and international situation which has had major impact on the conduct of the current government. The past democratically elected governments have failed to execute necessary indispensable reforms, and in the future such cleanly elected governments will be unable to deal with problems much more diffficult than the obstacles to reform these democratically elected governments failed to surmount in times past.
The American people are to a large extent, to one degree or another, childish, escapist, ignorant, intellectually lazy, irresponsible people who misuse their time energy and money with the result that their nation collapses. Even cleanly elected politicians can end up betraying their constituencies. Americans are too easily enticed by the carrot and threatened by the stick.
If Americans really want to save their country, they had better at the least keep an open mind with regards to non-democratic solutions--but instead Americans react to those who come up with non-democratic solutions as if they were child molesters and continue to enthuse over crusades to force foreign nations into becoming democracies. In so doing they may be the incarnation of Judas handing over Christ, sealing their own fate, helping to rush their own communities and their own nation to their doom.
