Much like Hosea 4:6 says in a different context, “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”

Most people don't WANT to know - we call this willful ignorance

Who has an interest in securing a nation when a promise of the world can be won?

I believe the US Constitution is the first construction of an adult republic where the populace is not treated as children by their governments. The Democrats today wish to return to the times of Emperors, Kings and tyrants to dictate to their children their behavior. They consider themselves the adults. Surely, they have molded the people into the children they see them as; dependent upon them for their welfare; sniveling and whining for more candy and a deconstruction of the Constitution that wanted them to become adults and not remain as dependent children their entire lives. Of course, politicians want to believe they are the protectors of their children but they must behave themselves.
Even while they themselves act no better than children and throw tantrums to get their way. It used to be the family that instilled proper mores and social etiquette in their children to grow into responsible adults. No longer. The government bureaucracy is built to engineer the child, through education, through behavioral modification, through social engineering, through bullying legislation that offers rewards and punishments to ensure citizens remain as children. Do you think you are adult enough to know how to use money? Did anyone teach you how to use money? Did they even teach you what money was? Do you think money you earned should be your property? It isn't. They ensure they get their pound of flesh from you and pay themselves well these days before they spend the rest on their supporters or frivolous programs that places them on a morally superior pedestal.

Yes, the family used to raise children to become adults but government wishes to to keep you as children.

no I don't think it is beyond repair, just are enough people willing to fix it or enough poor people ready to say enough & no more

Beyond repair? I doubt it, but the cost to effect the needed repairs may be so dear that the fabric of the society we've become accustomed to may be rent. But perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of self-serving society, that we've given over control of our destinies to fools and knaves whose concern is for their own welfare and sustained power only. Huxley, I believe, called them the Power Elite. I'd say let it rip but I'm too old and tired to do much beyond holding onto my little shred of life and sanity.

American voters by WWI had pretty much forgotten Constitutional principles, and why our Constitution is unique in the World. And aided by Leftists who felt the Constitution needlessly limited their power, and didn't give a hoot about individual rights, the Constitution itself was called into question by those trying to assert that it was out of date.

Of course anyone who has actually studied the Great Philosophers, knows that what makes philosophy great is its timeless and universal value to humanity. Leftists are not philosophers almost by definition, or they could not be Democrats, whose surreptitious mission is destruction of the Constitution, for a purely practical reason: power.

With the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and a Democrat Congress, the public was primed to respond with a big yawn, when in 1937 FDR unConstitutionally threatened all nine Justices with removal if they failed to vacate the Commerce Clause in the Constitution. In Wickard v Filburn, the Justices did just that in 1942, ("A stitch in time saved nine." ) knowing that the progressive mood of the public was behind the elites in Washington.

With that, the Federal government was no longer Constitutionally limited from telling farmers what they could and could not grow. Stalin was probably amazed that the US suddenly had Soviet style Central Planning.

The creation of the Department of Agriculture was the first shot across the bow of the creation of the vast, illegal, unaccountable Federal Bureaucracy, that later spawned dozens of others, like the HSS, now controlling the life of every American through unConstitutional Obamacare, the DOE, justification of the expedient-of-the-moment creation of the FBI, the Department of Justice, and countless others.

Broken beyond repair? Yes, as long as the public remains ignorant of Constitutional principles and why they matter to them. With Soviet style propaganda now feeding CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, the New York Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post... almost every American is being led to believe there is nothing wrong with our current loss of rights: freedom of speech, the right to bear arms without infringement (no permits), illegal search and seizure...basically every single Constitutional principle is being destroyed, and the public is totally asleep about it.

If they had any idea at all about what is at stake, they would immediately drop whatever they are doing, forsaking their RVs, Homes & Gardens, TVs, TicToc, Instagram, friends, neighbors and family, to see to it in any way possible that we return to First Constitutional Principles, and vote out every single Democrat, RINO, Socialist, Communist, Green Party, and anti-Constitutionalist with extreme prejudice.

Who is a Constitutionalist like Coolidge and Reagan? Trump, Cruz, DeSantis, Lake, Gabbard, Noem...many more. Look up their record. Its not that difficult.
