We have the best vantage point to witness one of the most pivotal moments in world history. As Benjamin Franklin once said, we have a representative republic, but it is up to us to preserve it. Now is the time to determine if we can uphold the principles upon which our nation was founded.

The representative republic currently holds the advantage, but those familiar with rats understand their primary survival strategies rely on rapid reproduction and effective concealment.

Even now, as D.O.G.E. is routing them out and sending them scurrying, some have found very effective hiding places. Others are making plans to return the moment any defense has been lowered.

The defenders of the Constitution must remain vigilant and proactive in upholding its principles. Any lapse in their efforts could allow the bureaucracy to gradually reassert itself, undermining the purpose of the Constitution and the protection it provides every legal citizen.

I am afraid that it is a battle that can only be lost. It will never be won. The best we can hope for is to keep the rats at bay to varying degrees.
