Unfortunately, it would have ended up exactly like Donald Trump's with the Deep State uprising against him and eventually charging him with crimes he didn't commit.
But Ron probably wouldn't had DT's life-built arrogance to allow him to fight back.
Lots of wisdom in this. In my opinion, if Ron Paul should be remembered for anything, it is that he was one of the first and most vocal critics of the Patriot Act as a Trojan horse to destroy our liberties. What nobody understood was that Obama and Holder were laying the groundwork to weaponize the Patriot Act to destroy their political opposition. The destruction of the Tea Party was just a trial run--IRS audits on any organization with the words "patriot" or "liberty" or "freedom" in their names--for what was unleashed against Trump.
JESUS CHRIST what a shame no one told Ron Paul to get his speeches proof-read for repetition and for being WAY TOO LONG! I sat down to read all that and started to lose the will to live! Yes, there's a lot of truth but the good points are lost in a massive swamp of confusion. It sounds like the ravings of an angry man, drowning in more issues than he can deal with. Winston Churchill had it right when he said 'Don't stop to throw rocks at every dog that barks on your journey or you'll never reach your destination'.
It was more like research notes written over months waiting to be sorted out. Fidel Castro was also famous for long, long speeches, a form of torture for the listeners.
In December 2011 I asked my husband to put up some Christmas lights outside. I came home one night soon after to find a Ron Paul 2012 BILLBOARD with every letter/number lit up in my front yard. 😂
Oh! To imagine the Ron Paul presidency that should have been!

I have always like Davy Crockett's farewell. "You can all go to Hell. I am going to Texas."
Man, does this hit all the sweet spots!
Who will be the next Ron Paul?
Thomas Massie is the only one even close
Yes, and unfortunately I don't believe there is any saving this current system.
It has to go.
I think it is crumbling. I talk about the many issues we are facing in my article 'America's Waning Power' https://open.substack.com/pub/eomar/p/americas-waning-power?r=b9f3l&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

This is why I try to keep my posts as short as possible with memes sprinkled in ;)
Yes--I hate to be the tl;dr guy, but at the halfway point, I felt like I got the gist of it. I particularly liked the WHY list.

Same thought here. Loved the content but it just went on an on and on.

There's a reason I volunteered for Ron Paul's 1988 presidential campaign. Not one regret for it. The man walked the walk. Too many just talk the talk.
Until I saw this man speak and found out he was in government, I was against human cloning.
This speech is a keeper. Thanks.

Just excellent.
♥️😭
Ron Paul fans will (i think) enjoy my article America's Waning Power. https://open.substack.com/pub/eomar/p/americas-waning-power?r=b9f3l&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Wow. Why can't people see this? I'm speechless.
I remember Ron Paul’s website was listed by the WAPO @prop-or-not hit piece as a Russian disinformation amongst 200 other websites
I agree with everything in his speech, but the boy couldn't orate.
He changed it all for me! Love this post Yuri! Thx!
