One of the better pieces I've read recently. With a solid plurality of the population (including most of the elite) striving to trash Constitutional government and replace it with a corporate fascist state having a veneer of social communism, the situation is very dire indeed. I have some hope the November election may turn things around, but only some.

I think we have lost what we once had.
I don’t think we can vote our way out of this.

And if our side plays by the rules and mistakenly thinks that the Constitution is still in force, we will lose.
The other side sees no Constitution, no laws, no justice system. They want power, and they take power. That’s why they win.

Just about time to play a new game.

At the current rate of borrowing money that the GOPe is spending ($1.2 trillion every 100 days) this country will hit $50 trillion in debt by the end of the decade, the Constitution won’t mean anything to anybody when the country falls apart and the Feds can’t rule anymore. What happens in these few years is anybody’s guess, yet when government owes the population dozens of trillion of dollars they have lost the game in the long run. We’ll see what happens in the long run however the trend does not look good

235 years. Not a bad run. If Biden wins again, at least we’ll end up in the history books just like the Romans. So we can pat ourselves for doing so well for a long period of time.

"The Constitution won’t save America"

100%

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness"

Are you safe? Are you happy?

The Constitution only works if we are a moral and virtuous people. We are not.

What a bunch of whiny wimpy victims!

You all want the government to apologize and stop ruining the country. You expect the welfare recipient voting inner cities to realize they’re screwing everything up by voting for democrats to run each state

Every congressman/woman, president, and military member swears on the Bible to God to protect and defend the constitution. Every poster here has pledged allegiance to the flag of the U.S.

And you’re on here throwing your hands up, turning on report hoping Trump doesn’t go to jail for too long, allowing people into your home who trash him while he takes seriously the vow to protect and d defend the constitution

That’s what he’s going to do

Too bad you’re all choosing the wrong side the losing side losers

Trump is a winner I don’t care what happened to Rome a millennia ago

Neither does Trump

Young people are taught that the Constitution established slavery, patriarchy, and white supremacy. No surprise that so many Americans have no respect for the Constitution. Why honor rules designed to perpetuate racism, sexism, economic inequality, etc.

To save the Republic, you need a Franco, or a Pinochet. Call it fascism if you want.

The Constitution is dead because the people no longer care. It is a very ignorant, perverted and corrupted population in the United States of America. Diversity is not our strength, it is the tyrant party’s strength, because like all tyrants, they play the diverse tribes against each other.

The United States is itself ignorant, perverted and corrupt. Its form remains as a totalitarian state. It needs to die completely, be relegated to the pages of history where its former strength and glory can live again as a lesson to the future.

If we followed it, it would.

The problem is, that those in positions of power won’t.

We can salvage the country and the constitution.
All it takes is for people to do their jobs!!
The house of representatives (non capitalized on purpose) has constitutional authority over the judicial branch.
They can and should be impeaching judges who violate their oath.
How many judges have actually been impeached in YOUR lifetime?
Our strongly conservative buddy, JJ, runs the judiciary committee... How many has he put up?
The house has 2 main jobs, create a budget and control the courts.
They have not done either.

It is now up to the man in the mirror.
Stop electing bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts...
If they make it to the November election, simply don’t vote for them.
Vote for the third party person.
The first thing the man in the mirror has to learn is, contrary to deep state thinking, a vote for the third party candidate is not a vote for the democommie.
It’s a vote for the third party candidate.
Accept this little thing as fact, and in 2 election cycles, things will have changed.

The system is too corrupted to fix itself which we are all being shown on a daily basis. That’s what this “4 year pause” is all about. Only an intervention and temporary governance can put the republic back on course.

We have a lying, thieving, criminal government, comprised of individuals who let themselves get compromised, and who refuse to uphold our Constitution.

Sad state of affairs.

Full John Adams quote:

“Because We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Gallantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
