Even if people are not stupid, they are either uninformed or indoctrinated with the wrong ideas as to why the Founding States made the Constitution.
In fact, patriots should start asking people why the delegates to the Constitutional Convention made the Constitutions Section 8 of Article I, and then let us know how many blank looks they get in response.
And the GOPe, the ”conservative” front-end for the corrupt Washington cartel, has been successfully exploiting this ignorance imo.
I suspect you’ll get a bit more than blank stares.
Unfortunately, those same ‘knowledgeable’ people would kick you in the teeth IF those ideals would ever be re-instituted again...for messing with those illegal/unconstitutional items THEY support.
How many pictures of those TEA Party rallies you remember with the blue/grey hairs’ signs of “Don’t touch *my* mediXYZ/SS/etc.”?? They match RIGHT up w/ the carpel-thumb-syndrome generation re: “’FREE’ education/grants”.
We, as a people, no longer have more than the IDEAL of Freedom. Most would *BEG* for the chains to be restored if had to live with the responsibilities of their choices. BEG, I say, if they WERE a Free people once more.
