A lot of freedom-minded people are shocked and furious. But honestly… This outcome simply proves what many of us have been saying for years: Politics is a rigged dog-and-pony show designed to enrich and empower the ruling class while keeping the masses distracted, divided, hopeful, and demoralized. In this episode of the Live Free Now Show, I break down: Why I abandoned politics years ago How government is operating EXACTLY as designed Why even “good politicians” rarely create real freedom The Epstein files psyop and why nobody is held accountable Why the masses keep getting manipulated election after election The importance of EXIT AND BUILD Why we must focus on parallel systems, local community, food production, crypto, mesh networks, and decentralized alternatives How hopelessness and demoralization are being weaponized against us Why taking action is the key to remembering how powerful you really are If we shifted even a fraction of the energy people pour into politics toward BUILDING… We could experience liberty in our lifetime. We’re building the alternative now.
