Larp or not, how is making any change? Yeah people are inspired to research, but nothing is happening. Just more promises.

You have to look at this through a realistic lens though... think about the scope of what is being claimed. It's decades of corruption, thousands implicated, huge amounts of money/black market activity, collusion at the highest levels of the government... and people expect this to be a "case closed" situation like we're investigating someone for insider trading on the NASDAQ.

For those of you who think this is "all talk, no action"... look at the Trump/Russia investigation. This has been going on for almost as long as we've had access to the leaked email accounts. And look how long this is taking. Mind you, the Russian investigation has been publicly presented to us as a dead-to-rights guaranteed case of guilt since day 1. It's almost never been reported as a possible case of collusion, but rather, collusion that occurred and simply hasn't been proven yet.

So, on one hand you've got an investigation into Russia that's resulted in next to nothing (other than multiple cases of collusion that implicate the left/prior admin) and that's okay! And on the other hand, you've got a grassroots/nearly invisible behind the scenes effort to shut down an unimaginably large and powerful corrupt shadow government that still holds incredible levels of influence - and that is supposed to magically be completely "case closed" immediately.

Please think about this rationally with respect to how large the scope is vs. other cases that have drug on for far longer, with infinitely smaller scopes.

The last thing we want is for there to be 200-300 arrests just to move quickly, and then sacrifice the full scope of the investigation by showing cards too quickly.

This corruption has been going on for over a hundred years now. I don't expect it wiped out in a day but I expect visible progress if the swamp draining is actually real. And if it is, Trump really only has three bankable years left to do it. Right now it's just supposed insiders stringing us along with puzzles, which is what every president does. "we're getting it done, be patient" but it never happens. just lots and lots of political theater in the public eye. I don't believe Trump is going to do anything anymore. I gave him a year and we're in the same spot except for some arrests and a couple crises said to be averted. I would love to be proven wrong, but I doubt it.

Really? I think you are confusing "puzzles" with "broken promises"...

When has this kind of semi-clandestine, hidden groundswell, all with a storm of mounting evidence that grows by the day, ever occurred?
