What a lot of liberals often forget is that our constitution is just a piece of paper. What makes it powerful is the honesty of people in power to execute it to the best of their abilities.
We may disagree with how we accomplish our goals, but so long as we agree that the constitutional is worth protecting, we can dialogue.
The Republicans have shit on the constitution, and have threatened to institute a government based on dogma, where everything is made up and justice is only for the chosen few.
Some have said, “Well, at least I can change it from the inside.”
My response has been, “Well, why haven’t you?”
The sad thing is that the GOP has become overrun by a small minority who have a dispositional amount of influence. We need good spirited debate in this country. But the GOP is more concerned with power than they are with governing.
I’ve been saying for almost 20 years that there will be a civil war in my lifetime. I fear that we’re getting closer and closer.
Exactly right. It is frightening to think what could happen if Trump gets re-elected. He will have zero incentive to moderate his approach. I wonder if anyone has a plan to prevent Trump from pulling a Hitler, and if that plan could survive his planned purge of the highest levels of the bureaucracy. It is incredible to think that the US is that close to sleepwalking into fascism and a civil war (again).
