US Citizens are Apathetic

I am not a registered Democrat nor am I a registered Republican...  I suppose that makes me an Independent.


I DON'T TRUST politicians and that goes for both Republicans and Democrats, but also includes Independents, Progressives, and Socialists.


Because of my 75 years of age, I was around in the 1960s and the same issues that we have in 2020/2023 are the same basic issues that we had back then.


NOTHING CHANGES...  regardless of which part controls the Presidency or either house of our Congress.


I am now convinced that politicians don't want anything to change because their main concern is getting re-elected to office.


Our problems would be solved, if we limited the terms of our Congressional members just like we limit the term of our Presidents.


BUT GUESS WHAT?  No Congressional official would ever vote for something like that which would obviously screw all of them and their plans to be in Congress until they die.


The last time I checked, we, the people, elect people to Congress so if they don't want to pass limited terms, then we just vote someone else into office.


Therein lies our problem.  The General Public (that's you and I) don't really want to get involved.  Not sure why we don't want to get involved but we don't.  Therefore, our problem will continue and never be resolved.


Apathy is what happens inside nations that will soon be conquered by other countries.  Not that the USA will ever be conquered by a military, it could easily be conquered by a country with a better economy than ours.    

It could get conquered by a country that has better educational retention than ours.  

It could be conquered by a country that has better political awareness than ours.
