Democratic-Republican Party Government is the only Solution to the Crisis that is Democratic-Republican Party Government

You may be surprised to learn that I have just signed and sealed my first contributions to the Democratic and Republican Parties. The events of the last weeks, months and years have given some Americans cause for self-congratulation, others cause for alarm, and still others cause for calm reassessment. I find myself somewhere in between these latter two groups. As virtually every election that has been held over the course of my voting life has demonstrated, there is no question that Democratic-Republican Party government represents a grave threat to both the US Constitution and the people of the United States. Whichever corporatist faction constitutes the ruling majority, Democratic-Republican Party government leads, always and everywhere, to the ever quickening erosion of individual rights and liberties, to the consolidation of the national security police state and the expansion of the lawless voyeurism characteristic of a pan-optic surveillance society.

Yet, for all intents and purposes, the United States remains a two-party system, and the political opposition is always led by one faction of the ruling coalition. And so the danger to both the US constitution and the people of the United States represented by the Democratic Party can only be thwarted by supporting the Republican Party; similarly, the danger to both constitutional government and the people of the United States represented by the Republican Party can only be avoided by supporting the Democratic Party. Therefore, the only way to ensure that the United States is not brought to absolute ruin by the Democratic and Republican Parties is to support the Republican and Democratic Parties.

Perhaps one might object here that it makes no sense to support the Democratic and Republican Parties in order to protect against the threat to constitutional government and the people of the United States represented by the Democratic-Republican two-party state and duopoly system of government. The only possible alternative is to support third party and independent candidates for political office to create a viable opposition to the ruling Democratic-Republican political class. However, our political future is entirely determined by our political past. And in the past, the ruling parties have not been receptive to movements intent on removing them from power.

But since movements to change the balance of political power – to strengthen rights and liberties, and serve the interests of the people of the United States, rather than undermine the lot of them –, cannot garner the support of the ruling parties and political class, one might reasonably conclude that it is not guaranteed to succeed, and thus determine instead to work within the confines of the system that maintains the ruling balance of power. The Democratic and Republican Parties represent such a grave threat to our rights, liberties and the rule of law that our only option is to strengthen the Democratic and Republican Parties in their ongoing war against the US constitution and the people of the United States. I have thus just signed and sealed my first contributions to the Democratic and Republican parties.

Happy April Fools' Day!
