“Left dislike’s constitution because it stops them from being bullies.”

They don’t realize it also stops us (some anyway) from being bullies.

Let’s see. Because they want to convert the US Constitutional Republic into a Democracy and the 15 to 20 blue states will determine all future elections and the red states need not even bother to vote.

They want to scrap it so it will be easier for them to gain control and fill their pockets faster without restriction.

“ So before we do anything, we should heed Shakespeares Advice and KILL ALL THE LAWYERS.”

Not a lawyer, but this is just so stupid. The first people the communists, the Nazis, and the like killed were lawyers who were standing in their way.

The really good lawyers on our side are awesome. And necessary in a nation of laws. And stand up to abusive government .

TXAG Ken Paxton
Sen. Tom Cotton

Just off the top of my head.

Also, the line from Shakespeare is from a drunken blowhard in the play. Himself an object of ridicule.

“ freedom is an impediment to their agenda”

“ Come on just say it. Whose agenda?”

Their agenda? The leftists who are the topic of the article and mentioned in the title?

Have no clue what you are looking for here. Seems pretty clear, given the title of the article is “why does the Left . . .?”

"A Republic if you can keep it"

On November 5, 2024 the American People announced thunderously that they intend to keep it.

I suppose that depends entirely on what the meaning of "is" is...

The Constitution is not too rigid.

The Constitution has been amended 27 times, and through the judicial interpretation of cases like Brown v. Board of Education, the document has been made more adaptable to changing societal norms.

We are presented with two views of history, that incredibly currently compete for attention in this country. We must reject the premises of the cultural Marxist because Cultural Marxism itself cannot live peaceably with federal republicanism or individual autonomy, and in fact must replace it.

Karl Marx said, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed. Everything and everyone exist within the bounds of infinity with no spiritual dimension. Resolving the dilemma of the human condition means deciding people exist as swarms of creatures identified to be enthroned, dominated, or eradicated. In this country people use the principles of Cultural Marxism to support the creation of White Privilege, Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, and other gateways into Communism.

The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. In this expression, the Creator residing beyond infinity reaches into our world from eternity to endow individuals with inestimable value despite the human condition, and therefore reminds those holding governing positions of their central duty to individuals and the paradox of their own fallibility.

If the Constitution is scrapped what would their replacement look like? The immediate casualties would be First and Second Amendments. Only government approved speech would be allowed. None of that “disinformation”. Freedom of religion can’t be tolerated either as some religions have beliefs that are against abortion, transgenderism and the worship of the almighty state. Freedom of assembly and to redress grievances against the government…sure can’t have that. Of course no citizen should be armed only the government and its agents should have firearms. We have already seen the Fourth and Fifth Amendments trampled with government goons breaking down doors without warrants, government agents seizing property under administrative rules, and open lawfare against anyone who dissents. The ideal state in a post Constitutional world would resemble any other tyrannical state.

“If Trump fails, or if a black Swan intervenes, we won’t have to worry about the old Constitution, it will be swept away in blood in the streets of America.”

The other side of the coin sees the leftists and plutocrats lined up along open trenches and shot. That happened in Libya in 2011 and is the most recent example.

They want to vaporize the 1st and 2nd Amendments. Then they will be able to bulldoze the remainder of The U.S. Constitution and then take over EVERYTHING.

In their 🫛 🧠
