Guaranteed he’ll find a way “interpret” the 2A to take guns away from the SRA and black panthers, by labeling them “terrorist organizations.”

Only his militarized fascist cock riders will be allowed to have weapons.

I wasn’t aware we were supposed to be funding private religious institutions anyway, as that would be a viol…

Oh wait, I forgot what timeline we’re in - the one where laws mean nothing.

I wouldn’t say force them, as much as manipulate them to do it. Trick them with promises and prizes they’ll never attain, while throwing obstacles in their way to attaining prosperity, and you can get them to fight one another willingly.

It’s easy to take advantage of people who lack critical thinking skills, as that isn’t taught in primary education.

The very few who do manage to claw their way to the top off exploiting others, become part of the problem as they pull the ladder up from behind them.

Wow, must be nice to have the trading bots that large financial institutions have. I’d be able to buy low and sell high without fail every time this crook opens his mouth.

Fascists just adore Social Darwinism.

To marginalized groups such as Black Americans, they’ve been living under a fascist police state all along. Only now is it spreading and affecting everyone.

Maybe stop paying $1.5 trillion dollars to the military industrial complex serving Israel, Wall St, military contractors and big oil.

And maybe stop giving the rich tax breaks on generational wealth and capital gains.

We only need a homeland defense force. That’s it. $100-150 billion a year is plenty. If we stopped the disgusting amount of military spending, we could have modern safety nets just like Europe.

The polls have been consistently showing progressive policies have been popular for quite a while. It’s the party that wasn’t going along with the wishes of voters.

The reshaping of the DNC towards the left is an unstoppable force at this point. Boomer voters and old Reagan-era politicians are dying off. After decades of neoliberalism maintaining the status quo, the younger generation of voters are getting very impatient with the way things currently are.

The Courts failed because they were handed too much power in the first place. They’re unelected officials who are chosen by a partisan executive branch, so they’re the extension of the president’s political agenda and just as subject to corruption. If the President wants fascism, they can stack the Court to get fascism, and since there’s no term limits, we’re stuck with them for life.

And since medical interventions keep these folks alive well into dinosaur age, that’s a long time to be stuck with a biased Court. That is inherently anti democratic.

Trying to remove a legal document from the cultural zeitgeist in which it was created is impossible. It was designed from the ground up to abolish all limits on White property/slave owners and give them license to make money without repercussions. That included allowing politicians themselves to exploit citizens and their own positions for economic gains.

The landed gentry of colonists were rebelling against what they perceived as economic repression, not repression of rights. Freedom to the mercantilist class meant freedom of economic exploitation.

Our bill of rights doesn’t go far enough. It needs to be rewritten to exclude businesses as people, and protect the rights of marginalized groups. It also needs to address election reform, political corruption, and the complete removal of money from politics.

If we instead lived by Hammurabi’s code, would that still work in the modern age?

And this:

Open Secrets

Gotta agree here. In terms of endorsing human rights, Dems have a far superior record to the GOP. However, it’s their motivation that I question. Since most Dems are beholden to their corporate donors, their motivation is “freedom of consumption,” that is, giving access of consumption to marginalized groups to maximize profits. I wonder how much of it is a genuine concern for human rights.

It also explains how Dems don’t go far enough or fight hard enough when it comes to marginalized groups.

I’ll take a win regardless of the motivation, but it’s interesting to investigate the underlying motivations.

47% of Dems in that state are conservative neoliberal Zionists. The boomers will eventually die off.

And if you don’t vote in primaries, you need to start. It’s the only chance any of us have a say-so on who ends up on the Dem ticket.

Tell me the constitutional weaknesses and loopholes weren’t exploited to allow the oligarchs to hand power to a fascist traitor who doesn’t respect the law.

What good is a constitution if it can’t even prevent the situation we’re in now?

You can’t “line item” each thing. The entire document requires a convoluted and complicated process that prevents things from being rewritten easily.

That’s why the entire thing needs to be scrapped. Other countries have already done this multiple times and they’re fine.

The USA constitution is not sacred nor worth preserving. It’s archaic and needs to go. Traditionalism holds back human progress and nationalism led to fascism in this country.

Remember why the Republicans lost the Spanish Civil War. They couldn’t get over their internal squabbling and purity tests.

Well, basically the entire thing. The changes needed to truly democratize and modernize the document would require a complete rewrite.

There’s many things that need changing, but some of the basics would be to abolish the senate to eliminate disproportionate representation that led to the coup we just experienced, for one. The establishment of a true parliamentary system where representatives can be recalled at any time, second. Then, minimizing and subjugating the power of the executive and courts to parliament.

I would prefer the parliament nominate a prime minister who serves at the will of the people and can be dismissed at any time, and not have complete control over the military and bureaucracy.

Prevention and punishment for political corruption needs to be baked into the constitution to ensure politicians truly serve as servants to the public will and are forbidden from pursuing their own financial interests in office.

I could go on and on about more specific things like the right to arms, but I’d I have to write an essay.

The framers themselves intended for the document to be rewritten over time. Jefferson said the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of tyrants, or something that effect.

First-generation Hispanic voters tend to be single-issue voters, so they’re easily wooed by messages like, “We hate commies!,” “Eww gays!,” “Machismo is a good thing!” and “No Abortions!” and will happily vote against their own interests on everything else.

It also doesn’t help they tend to value education less than subsequent generations.

It never was. It’s a constitutional republic created to benefit slave-owning, white, male property owners.

The constitution should’ve been burned and rewritten multiple times already. An archaic, 250-year-old document isn’t relevant in modern times.
