[PJ-Comix]

Apparently they are going to blame their big midterm elections losses on the Constitution.

[nickcarraway]

If only that were true.

[Paladin2]

Among other things, The Constitution is designed to protect me from American Marxists forcing me into a Marxist fascist society.

[sevlex]

It’s undemocratic because it guarantees a “Republican” form of government.

[OttawaFreeper]

It’s supposed to be undemocratic, otherwise you would have mob rule.

[Da Coyote]

Those folks really want a war.
And they are doing a great job of making their wish come true.

[cowboyusa]

They are insane, let them go there way, America has turned on Biden and will not turn back, they know they are loosing.

[mulligan]

More idiots.

[IDFbunny]

The Bill of Rights trumps fickle majorities. So what?

[Jim Noble]

“ protect me from American Marxists forcing me into a Marxist fascist society.”

Marxists and fascists are opposites.

[Paladin2]

‘Rats are both.

[faithhopecharity]

the US Constitution was not designed or intended to be “democratic” except for the House of Representatives

the Founders of our Republic worked assiduously to avoid the dangers of too much democracy

a la Plato and historic experience (as we have seen also with Franch history, etc)

[Gay State Conservative]

I'm stunned to see something like this written by a guy who named his daughter Moon Unit.

[dfwgator]

Frank was a very intelligent man. I didn’t appreciate him enough while he was alive.

Frank is less than an expert on this topic.

I graduated in 1964, Calif public schools.

From about 4th grade through 8th, statewide, we had Social Studies. It included, over time/grades, both U.S. and foreign geography, cultures, economies & products, and governments.

To graduate into high school, passing a comprehensive, in depth, course in the U.S. Constitution was required.

To graduate high school, passing both Civics and U.S. History classes; and Western Civilization/(Western) World History was required.

Social Studies, nor Civics, replaced or overlapped the other.
