Acknowledge.

We were once a proper country and will be again.

Found flittering through the echo chamber …

No.

We are a nation of laws, not men.

This is the mentality of playground politics, seemingly just at the outset, but passionately metastasizing in demagoguery.  Legitimacy is found in the Constitution, not the passions of pantry pundits, and certainly not the leper with the most fingers.

John Adams reminds ...

The goal of politics is to promote happiness, and this depends on the structure of government.[T]he divine science of politicks is the science of social happiness, and the blessings of society depend entirely on the constitutions of government, which are generally institutions that last for many generations, there can be no employment more agreeable to a benevolent mind, than a research after the best…

Virtue is a key ingredient. If there is a form of government then, whose principle and foundation is virtue, will not every sober man acknowledge it better calculated to promote the general happiness than any other form?

Pastor Martin Niemöller wrote a poem in 1946 ...

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:9
