I begin to fear that we’re past the tyranny/no tyranny fork in the road, and are now quickly approaching the crossroads about what kind of tyranny we’re going to get.

Can you tell me what is so great about the Constitution?

The Declaration of Independence laid out the founding principals which are ultimately liberty and self determination.

The Constitution was supposed to be the roadmap and the set of instructions to run the country and to preserve the founding principals.

In your opinion, did the Constitution fulfill it’s purpose?

Has the Constitution secured our liberty?

Will we be better off going another 50 years with the people who love America tying their own hands with it, pretending like the Constitution is still followed while the half that hates America openly ignores it?

The Constitution worked for a little bit but ultimately it’s flaws have led us to where we are now.

When NR promises to be Never-Trump in favor of Democrats, believe them.

The Constitution was nulified by the Democrats, the press, social media etc when they conspired to rig the election. No court ever heard the evidence, they avoided hearing the facts on technicalities and bogus rulings of standing and timeliness. Much of the Constitution was suspended by Lincoln during the cw. A free society only works when EVERYONE is commited to it. Not the case now. We are in a bad place which is likly to get worse.

Trump expresses himself badly. He meant that cheating negates and renders void the laws and even the Constitution.

So this is exactly the same thing...a non-event taken and blown out of any realistic proportions by the media.

Given all the subterfuge, hatred. betrayal by his own people, the collusion of the MSM with Democrats and his opponents, the obvious fraud that cost him the Presidency, the frustration of watching a demented, criminal fraud sit in the White House and ruin the country, it is not surprising that Trump has made some mistakes that are quickly exploited by his enemies.

Do you have an escape plan if our military steps up and does what they are doing in Brazil?

“There is a process for alleging vote fraud, but none of Trump’s lawsuits succeeded in court, even before judges who had been appointed by Republicans.”

Are you insane? Serious question. Do you honestly believe there is a viable recourse to election fraud? Election fraud has been occurring for decades. Everything in government/media has been corrupted, the IRS, Congress, DOJ, FBI, Intel Agencies, CDC, Main Stream Media, Judicial System, and yet somehow you think our voting system is as pure as the driven snow.

A basement dwelling invalid that could not draw a crowd of 50 and insulted blacks almost weekly does not beat Obama in his prime in every black community (by greater than 20%) in every swing state. Biden slaughter Obama number (over 30%) in 10% fewer counties (least won by any winning president in history). None of his winner numbers are realistic or probable.

I think you just said you wanted to torture puppies. I must disavow myself from you since I think your insistence on torturing puppies is horrible.

Oh and please don't play the game of pretending like you weren't saying to torture puppies. Its YOUR responsibility to make sure nobody interprets you that way.

As it is, I am sure now that you, as a puppy torture advocate, have been called out you are going to try to deny that is what you meant. But since you are some horrible for wanting to torture puppies nobody should listen to you.

All we want to hear from you is your promise every day that you denounce you former position of wanting to torture puppies. You will be required to denounce the position again and again and again...but always with the understanding that you are a beaten person. We were able to shove words in your mouth and make you apologize for them.

I wouldn’t call National Review the media. It’s a failing online magazine, consumed by a small group of nerds claiming to be some portion of the quickly shrinking conservative movement.

There will be many posts that simply say “National Review is trash!” and not refute the actual article. There’s no convincing trumpers that he could ever say anything wrong. When he loses in 2024 we will be rid of him and can move on.

Everyone with an ounce of integrity knows that the election was stolen and now, because nothing was done, the Republic is hurtling toward the abyss of tyranny, with no way to stop it.

Any honest person knows what PJDT was saying.

You don't get to, stage a coup and steal an election, then hide behind the Constitution that you just wiped your a$$ with.

When activists wrap themselves in the Constitution, they are really trying to protect politically correct interpretations of the Constitution that make them “more equal” than everybody else imo.

In fact, as a consequence of politically correct interpretations of Constitution, the people have probably never enjoyed the full extent of our constitutionally enumerated freedoms as the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had intended for those freedoms to be enjoyed.

"never trumpers will hear what they want" and "Trump could have said it better"

This reminds me of something Rush said many times about Trump. Trump supporters take him seriously but not literally. Trump haters take Trump literally but not seriously.
