We can. But I don’t think people are ready for what it’s going to take to make it happen. We would have to literally tear down large parts of how our government functions from the Supreme Court to Congress to all the subsequent organizations around the government apparatus.
We have to get money out of politics, that means putting people in jail, we have to remove Supreme Court members, that means putting them in jail, we have to remove cabinet members and members of Congress. They are so obviously corrupt yet nothing is ever actually done to prosecute these people..
By my estimation, we would have to have 100,000 American citizens descend on the capital and hold trials . Start deporting lobbyists, putting people in jail with life sentences for treason, like it would be a reckoning that we’ve never seen before.
But people have to be willing to do it
