What a crazy wild ride the past few years has been politically speaking in the United States. We have likely experienced one of the most tumultuous, unexpected, and adversarial presidential elections in our lifetimes. Although my genuine fear has been validated by the President himself. This fear is centered around his potential attempt to run for a third term or simply never end his second term. Unless the Democratic Party can pull their heads out of you know where and competently run a successful Mid-Term election in 2026, he is likely to succeed.
On the conservative side you have elation tempered only by high expectations. If you supported Trump/Vance then you would be thrilled with the outcome. It has been 20 years since a Republican won the popular vote. And with Trump winning both the popular and electoral victories as well as securing the House of Representatives and the Senate with GOP control there is both a perceived and an assumed mandate.
On the progressive side you have frustration and depression. The frustration with Biden begins with his failure to following through on his 2020 promise to be a transitional president. This would have allowed for younger Democratic candidates to take center stage. Harris and Walz only had three months to show the country what they stood for and were hopeful to accomplish. They had a very limited amount of time to aggressively address the nation's negative view of the Biden/Harris presidency. However, the overall negative impression held by the body politic was that we were heading in the wrong direction and a Harris/Walz presidency would be "more of the same", i.e., failed Biden policies. It was not helping that perceptions about inflation waning were far from the generally held views in most of America. Just look at county by county breakdown and it is clearly evident that the vast majority of America's 3,000 counties voted for Trump/Vance.
The culture wars peaked this election cycle with anti-woke sentiment, discussions of toxic masculinity, and horror stories stemming from abortion policy being the media's fascination. Transgender issues affects less than 1% of Americans. Yet in the battleground states and surrounding areas an anti-transgender surgery message against Harris was shown over 30,000 times and cost the Trump campaign $17 million dollars. It was very effective.
Ultimately, both political parties are so beholden to the special interests in corporate America that which ever candidate won, likely in four years, the status quo is likely to be undisturbed. This is a clear message for OUR political purpose. We seek to be a political movement dedicated to ensuring a future for America that is driven by citizens, and not career politicians. That is why we started TheUnIncumbents.org. The whole purpose is to start a grass roots effort that will unite the country's voting constituency together with one vision. Term limits and age limits for all elected officials.
In the US Congress, no elected representative should serve more than 12 years. This would allow for genuine progress to be made over the House members' six terms and Senator's two terms. It would abolish career politicians and their primary purpose being getting themselves re-elected. There is anecdotal evidence that shows a US House member spends about half of their term seeking out the donors for money for their re-election.
In the Supreme Court of The United States we should establish term limits of 18 years. This would allow for generational changes in the court's makeup without fear of turning the court into the forceful arm of the majority opinion. By having Supreme Court justices' appointment for life terms in their early 40s allows for corruption, atrophy, and stagnation.
Our goal is to garner enough grass roots support, as evidenced by over 75% of the US eligible voters in agreement and approval of our purpose and our plan. A new constitutional convention in 2029 after we elect 535 new members of Congress in 2028. We must end the career politicians hold over our lives. Join us now. We are not asking for your money. Just your support. Join our members section. Send us your name and email. It will NEVER be sold or used for profit.
