I don't see it turning around otherwise at this point.

The last 20 years have made clear these people ~~can't~~ can get away with literal murder, have it in the news, and nothing happens. From JFK, to Ruby Ridge, the "suicides" of Jeffrey Epstein, et al.

Blatant violation of law by those in office without repercussions.

I'm not saying it happening tomorrow, but we only have to look at things like the French Revolution to recognize a line has been crossed, and these criminals have no fear of the law, as it's been captured right along with so many regulatory agencies.
