    This is a good thing. The constitution in intentionally design to preserve entrenched power. It’s why we’re the most powerful country in the world.

      “Whoever has the most guns and the best aim makes the rules” is probably not the best way to run a country.

        People don’t seem to realize that “live by the sword” is just the first half of the common expression. On a related note, if we don’t have a plan to retake the southern states (again) stashed away next to the Canada invasion documents, somebody ought to get on that.

          The plan to retake the southern states is quite literally just to let them kill themselves. Not one of them are self sufficient without federal funding. If they decide to bite the hand that feeds they’re going to have an awful time trying to find their own food.

            The plan

            Who’s plan? That’s sure as hell not my plan. I don’t want a bunch of children starving to death.

            With their chronic conditions and co-morbidities, all you would have to do is cut off the medication supplies and they would be done within weeks.

      If by “goof thing” you mean a bunch of gun-nut goofballs are trying to undermine democracy and succeeding, then I agree.

      This is the dumbest shit I’ve read all week. If you want to talk about entrenched power, then look no further than The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society as well as their billionaire donors. No one is taking shots at them, of course.

        Yes obviously not. Democrats are controlled opposition anyway intended to grind down any really social movements into the graveyard of democracy. Preserving capitalism. Which is a good thing.
