The behavior of Democrats in Congress "inspires" me to long for the days of yore, when a People treated like crap by those that governed figured out the best solutions to their problems.
What were those solutions?
What were those solutions?
Protests. Some peaceful. Some not.
What did these protests include?
What did these protests include?
Hanging effigies of government officials.
Beheading effigies of government officials.
Destroying the personal and real property of government officials.
Tarring and feathering of government officials.
Riding government officials out of town on a rail.
The common theme:
Beheading effigies of government officials.
Destroying the personal and real property of government officials.
Tarring and feathering of government officials.
Riding government officials out of town on a rail.
The common theme:
First, officials were intimidated by the effigy hangings and beheadings.
Second, officials were made to feel the pain suffered by the People, by tarring and feathering.
Third, officials were driven out of office and out of the jurisdiction on a rail.

So.
Were our forebearers wise to something that we have forgotten?
Was their spine, revealed in protests and direct action, unique to the era in which they lived?
Or is it time for Northam, Whidmer, Newsome, and other effigies to begin hanging in protest?
