By now, it should be crystal clear that we need a change. The insurrections, the silent coups, all of the in-fighting, the MASSIVE spread of misinformation, opinions masquerading as facts; they all need to stop. It is sad that we have taken it this far, but neither side is ready to step back, rightfully so, and it all seems like a conveniently choreographed illusion of chaos. A perfect storm meant to take down the United States, and it just seems almost too perfect. Is this not staged?
Who is pulling the strings? Why do we have just two parties that represent the vast array of opinions in the self-described melting pot? Who benefits from this? The people? Or the parties? It is strikingly apparent that for all the vile rhetoric, both parties need each other to be their only enemies and are actively working to make sure it stays this way.
The only motivating factor is power. The federal government needs that animosity toward one another to maintain control. If neighbors on the same block have multiple view points and can exchange these ideas to come up with commonsense COMPROMISE to fill the needs of their community, than what would we need Washington for? Politics need to be an emotional hot-button topic to prevent centralized government from being outdone by their local counterparts.
There has been plenty of time when one-side has held majority in DC, why do we still have problems? Why do we still have problems? If they fixed the problems, what would they campaign on? Fear of the boogeyman across the aisle.
It is time that we get rid of that aisle. We need to stop using a letter after our Representative’s names on television unless the news anchors are going to put a letter next to theirs. Get us the truth. Get us the substance. Get us a government that works.
In this fairy tale world, where I don’t fear a massive retaliation by the power hungry people behind the curtain at party headquarters for even attempting such a thing, I would propose that we get this split kicked off with a Jernigan Party. A third, a fourth, a fifth party. One that is allowed on stage at debates. Two who get substantial coverage from our esteemed journalists. Three who get a seat at the actual table, at least. There is no reason that America should be split down the middle, forced to pick between two bickering divorcees who would rather spread rumors about one another to better their position than make logical decisions for the betterment of their children.
The Jernigan Party, would obviously be for small government, but we are open to other parties ideas. We sort of understand that you get one life on this earth and would rather move forward in a way that doesn’t exclude 70 million people. Make no mistake, we will talk shit. We are going to call out the big party when their grand-daughter gets a DUI and the system magically spits out a court date one day after an election, by “coincidence.” We are going to call out the back door deals. We will bad-mouth the shape shifters who go in front of the cameras to rag on the other parties in an attempt to stigmatize their view point. The ones who continue to dehumanize one another post-revolution will hear from us.
Most importantly, it’s just going to be a grand old party. We will have fun. We won’t hide our good times. We will joke around a lot. There will definitely be some youtube pranks in the mix. There won’t be this secret agent, dominate the world, kill or be killed attitude at this party. In this party. Whatever. It’s just an idea because I am frustrated by the snowballing effect of these past 15 years and the fact that none of our highly respected leaders can put their ego aside for ten seconds to stop it. Who would benefit from stopping it? The people? Or the parties?
It is my duty to announce the establishment of this party in time for the 2022 elections. There is a new class of Congress people from the entrenched way of thinking who will be warming up their chairs in the coming weeks. They will be getting used to this power for the next 7 months before they start campaigning again and the cycle continues. Is it no wonder they don’t get much done? The paint hasn’t dried in their newly remodeled office before they’re back on the trail. The only way to defeat them is to band together to separate. Find your party. Create your party. Campaign for your party. Stir things up and let the cream rise to the top. If the Greens, or the Libertarians , or the Bobby Boucher party makes it and the Jernigan party remains a figment of my imagination, I will be fine without power, but I will not be able to rest without peace.
#Godspeed
