The patriot, nationalist parties are ALWAYS hung out to dry with Hungary and some in that neighborhood honorable exceptions because of clear memories. But Marine Le Pen remains reliably far from power.<br /><br />Here at home one need only contemplate how the tools of the people's retribution have remained in the shed unused. Impeachment, elections, referendum, recall, initiative, and, last but not least, the write-in ballot.<br /><br />Just from the standpoint of pure electoral politics, it's an absolute absurdity that Biden and Harris are on the Dem ticket. Caligula's horse made more sense. But, no, there are the Dems and the Karens and the pussyhat wearers wetting their pants in excitement.<br /><br />Yes, the silenced ones will speak eventually but only when it is too late to do anything by democratic means. And the megaphone will be passe. Force of arms not so.Col. B.
