This book was written by the author on behalf of his grandchildren to chronicle the absurd derangement of the United States government in the early 2020s. Written from the perspective of a working class person, it documents details about the lunacy that overtook America over the past few generations, with a special focus on the 2020-2024 years. The corrupt derangement of our government in concert with mainstream propaganda outlets is quickly becoming "memory holed," or swept under the rug. The sooner everyone forgets about the mass insanity fomented by propaganda machines and unhinged billionaires, the sooner the next wave of mass insanity can be forced upon us. This book documents a level of government incompetence that future readers will certainly read in disbelief.

All is not gloom and doom however. Direct Democracy offers a solution: a new form of governance. First and foremost, the government must exist as a tool created by the people to protect and preserve their inalienable rights. Secondly, citizens must vote directly on legislation. Thirdly, representatives must be randomly selected using an intelligent filtration process. Elections are not needed. Finally, citizens must also craft legislation. By controlling the legislative process, we the people can regain control of our money, the U.S. Treasury, the collective pot of taxpayer cash that is currently being ineptly mishandled, grossly mismanaged, and repeatedly robbed by master criminals.

Excerpt:

 "In 1776, the population of the entire United States was less than the population of Toledo, Ohio today. In 1776, without cars, electricity, Internet, or advanced technology, and with such a small population, a “Constitutional Republic” made sense. It was a revolutionary leap away from the rule of kings. It was a successful model that suited the times and it worked. But it has become obsolete. By clinging to an outdated, anachronistic mode of governing, we are creating a monster. And that monster will devour us if we don’t get it under control.”
