Sorry, I don’t go for insurrection by tanks and military people...

I’ll stick to elections, ballots, laws, courts, representatives and the kind of political processes that the founding fathers put into place... :-)

The real problem is not the system that the founding fathers put into place, anyway — it’s the kinds of things that the voters are voting for. AND..., if they continue voting the way they’ve been voting, then sure..., it’s big trouble — but — the fact of the matter is that they will have done it with their own full choice in the matter... (even if it is a big problem...).

And if the voters are ignored? If the courts are ignored?

There have been some propositions in CA thrown out that were passed by voters.

...

You seem to care more about the mechanisms the founders put in place than they did. Their main concern was for freedom and liberty. They also knew that the system would fail if people let it.

They were the radicals and extremists. Im positive there were folks like you “advising” them against their course of action and admonishing them for not following “accepted” protocol.

The “hardening” of “conservatives” that is taking place right now is only going to accelerate and it will culminate in action of one form or another. The founders of this nation wished them well, because they understood that freedom and liberty were far more precious than the lifeless mechanisms of government that some have come to worship.

so..

You go ahead and worship the mechanisms of government the founders set up. Im sure you will protect those mechanisms with your life one day, even against those who would fight for freedom against the people who corrupted that system into a form of slavery.

1. The Founding Fathers used "insurrection" and military people (and would have used tanks if they'd had them) in order to put all that into place.

2. Force, to include tanks and military people, underlies and supports "elections, ballots, laws, courts, representatives and the kind of political processes that the founding fathers put into place."
