892 Enemy Within

<p>Voting attracts those who want power for themselves, but even more would rather the world devolve to their level. Many people are bitter, resentful, envious & perverse, and there's a lot of them. They will work against the established status quo just for the sense of satisfaction it brings them to tear it down. Combined with those who prefer authoritarianism, especially the kind that forces everyone to the lowest common denominator, and that’s a significant voting block that must be defended against; they are the enemy within, more so than Russia, China or any external threat.</p> <p>A sense of entitlement combined with the lack of responsibility that comes from leisure and narcissistic lifestyles, has created a generation of people full of self-loathing and contempt for authority, who not only will not defend American values but seek actively to destroy them. In the past, malcontents & revolutionaries were treated harshly, especially by religion, but the “you leave me alone and I'll leave you alone” aspect of liberty, and decline in moral institutions, has made America vulnerable. Optimistic Americans must fight against this enemy; unfortunately, they are our children.</p>
