The constitution isn’t broken, society is.
More like Society’s Gene Pool needs a good dose of chlorine!!!
“The constitution isn’t broken, society is.”
Yup.
And socialist-leaning judges who have allowed the federal government to grow to huge, unchecked proportions while whittling away at our rights.
Examples:
The general welfare clause has been used to seize money from some people and give it to others.
The interstate commerce clause has been used to give the federal government practically unlimited power to regulate any item that might tangentially affect commerce between the states.
The Constitution gives Congress specific items that the treasury may spend.
When the Constitution was ratified, it was understood that any action not specifically allowed was prohibited. That has been completely reversed and now anything not specifically prohibited is allowed. And even that has as many exceptions as legislators and liberal judges can get away with. e.g Shall not be infringed.

Yes. The Constitution puts the brakes on radical change that can destroy our nation. That's why change takes many, many years to take place. Do away with the Constitution and we will have anarchy over a short period of time. Slow changes are beneficial; that is why we can survive the 4 (or 8) years of a bad presidential regime such as Obama or Biden. Calls for radical change are blocked in the courts due to the Constitution, and that is a good thing.
The Founders were absolutely brilliant. They provided a constitutional method to amend the Constitution. But the Left does not want to proceed in a legal manner.
