Three

 America already has three political parties.  There are two official organized political parties but that doesn’t tell the whole story.  Republican and Democrat parties may seem to be our politics but government at all levels has spawned a third political influence that is destroying the power of the people.  The priority of “We the people”, the priority of the individual as demanded by our founding Constitution is fading away. 

The priority of our modern everyday constitution should read, “We the bureaucrats”.  Google the word, google defines a bureaucrat as “an official in a government, particularly one who is perceived to be more concerned with procedural correctness than with the needs of the people.”  Our country is no longer exists for the betterment of the people, rather, America exists for the betterment of the bureaucracy. As a voting bloc, these folk and their priority of bureaucracy betterment and expansion is purchased by either or both of the established political parties.

The purchase is always at the expense of “we the people”. We the people no longer count in Washington, the state capitals and county governments.  The bureaucrats will shout their innocence in the face of these charges but some of us have bureaucrat antennae, and our feelers say, the country is awash with the self-involved politically powerful.  In fact, this narcissism has permeated all corners of our American society and culture.  Politics, education, the media, sports, large corporations and even religion.

There are exceptions and occasionally priorities change but generally America is losing to the power of the bureaucrats, our nation is rotting from within.  This is why President Donald Trump was and is such a great threat to the bureaucrats of both parties.  This is why Donald Trump was and is the political hero of "we the people".  After the last eighteen months of bureaucrat rule, who is it that would not wish for the days of President Trump again?
