Sec. 2. Closing the Department of Education and Returning Authority to the States. (a) The Secretary of Education shall, to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities while ensuring the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely.
I feel like you should leave saying that for another year or 2. It’s understandable that people aren’t quite yet ready to abandon legal means.
When the time to abandon legal means comes, it’s already too late.
I mean yes, that’s why you have to abandon legal means. Because it’s too late.
This is the whole problem. When it’s too late, it’s too late, definitionally. You can’t do shit against full on authoritarian government. You can’t do shit even if you have community. And you don’t have community, Americans hate each other more than anything, and it turned out most of them aren’t smart, so they’re ripe for the picking for every asshole imaginable to fuck them sideways.
If that was true, no authoritarian governments would ever get overthrown…
Authoritarian governments very rarely got overthrown, and if they do it’s almost never from the inside. Almost exclusively it takes some outside events.
And if they do, it’s usually done by some powerful group like army.
The situations when people rise up and overthrow autocracy are so rare, it’s not worth talking about. And it also takes completely different population. Americans are ingranely conditioned to obey the power, especially those who boast about freedom the most.
