We’re in the Weimar Republic all over again. We all want revolution, but what we’re lacking is the leader to take us there. Everyone is afraid to step up, and understandably so.

Do we need to elect him? Does he need to seize power?

Don’t misunderstand me; I don’t want an answer to the question. I don’t want people to respond volunteering for the role. I don’t want to know who any of you are or what your specific ideas are.

I’m just concerned that enough people aren’t thinking about it in this light. We all want the same thing but we need someone to lead us there.

I’m in the best shape of my life and willing to follow, but I’m too old with too much pain to consider myself a soldier. In spite of that, I’d follow someone to my death, but I’m certainly not the leader.

Are you? Do you know someone who is? Let’s get this shit going before I’m not able to follow you to my death anymore.

It's possible the one you seek is still asleep or just not fed up enough, yet. As much as we here can see the writing on the wall and know what lay ahead, the truth is, the times are just not Weimar levels of painful for your average person. Until the hyper-inflation kicks in don't expect that kind of movement to grow large enough to produce some loud voices and maybe shift the momentum. Only when a long enough period of suffering occurs and starvation is a real thing for most people will you see change for the better. The Declaration of Independence sums it up well with "...all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

This is exactly the thing... We'll see some serious push back when they can no longer buy Starbucks coffee and purple hair dye.
