>>12583286 LB Regarding Term Limits
>>I have yet to meet ONE person in my life that didn’t agree with term limits for our national lawmakers. Why can’t this be changed?
You have now. Let me explain.
For one, we already have term limits…it's called "VOTING the bastards out" (that assumes elections are not rigged as they obviously have been in some degree lately).
Term limits are the wet dream of the DS cabal, not the retail politicians who would have to craft the law (not in their best interest), the but DS is certainly on board. If the DS/cabal had clarity and certainty that every X number of years the current office holder(s) were out and new ones would need to be installed, they would begin grooming the replacement candidate for public consumption years (and terms) in advance. Candidate X for 2024, candidate Y for 2026, candidate Z for 2028…etc. They would locate and identify their grooming contenders early in their lives while they are most programmable and malleable via methods which have already been used for years (e.g. rhode scholarships, youth for understanding, UN youth programs, etc). By grooming, I mean that a sophisticated organised effort would begin placing targeted "adds" in social media and the media to cast favorable qualities on these yound individuals years in advance of when they would be run for the office they were picked for. The largely ignorant public would have, years earlier, already developed and positive association with the candidate which would easily be "elected". They've been doing this kind of thing on a small scale for years, think of why John Kerry happened to have so much 16mm camera footage shot of him back in Vietnam glorifying his leadership ability. Now with social media, they can create broad positive exposure for their preferred candidates many races in advance. In addition, let's say an actual "good" candidate rose up and was elected by the people (think of the Marjorie Greens and Lauren Bobert's), codified term limits would ensure that this inconvenience to the DS would not have to be tolerated for long before they got back their control…DS wants this, the current retail politicians don't.
So, bottom line, we already have term limits if the people will only exercise them. I realize it's not perfect, but it's far better than codifying DS control for ever.
