I just deleted the app Nextdoor after going around in circles trying to explain a homeowner, who’s chickens were slaughtered by a loose Husky, has the right to shoot the dog that has now become a predator on his property. The Karens came out of the closet on this one. All the female respondents were anti 2A, no right to self defense, your property worth defending types. They were all for the dog has more rights than the homeowner being attacked.
On the positive side, I now know who not to trust in my neighborhood: no one. These bit$hs were calling me names that would make a sailor blush.
Writer really doesn’t want the Constitution to survive, he would rather rewrite it to insure a one party state.
I think you misunderstand the food chain. Not paying taxes is illegal and a hard battle to fight. But we can legally and peacefully deprive the top of the food chain with mass refusal to financially support the Corporate Communism agenda. And these losses will trickle down through the whole chain and change their arrogant assumptions that they are too big to fail.
Boycotting in mass will not only hit their pocket books directly, but the stock market will force an attitude change quick. As in overnight if it is big enough and in enough numbers. And you can bet after a couple go down the others will think twice about cutting their own throats with this agenda. The people will gain their power back as that primary source and top of the food chain.
Money talks and BS walks...
“The Constitution is a sacred document imho. “
Democrats want a popular vote and not the electoral college to decide who is President. I submit we should vote by county. Most counties won gets the states delegates and the electoral vote.
I could do it. I’d start with a purge.
Because I live in the real world. Without the UNITED States as a global power, who fills the vacuum and protects our national strategic security interests? In your wet dream of 50 nation states replacing the US, will the nuclear triad be scrapped? Will the US Navy, Marine Corps, USAF, and US Army be dissolved along with the Coast Guard?
Why do we need to have a global presence?
Because we are a great power with global interests including protecting the freedom of the seas, commercial interests, and protecting our citizens abroad. We also have treaties with other nations that involve responsibilities and obligations.
Why should the individual states that make up the United States be any different from the individual states that make up South America?
Duh! What is the alternative? 50 separate countries with their own passports, armed forces, foreign policies, etc.? You are advocating for the dissolution of the richest and most powerful country in the world, the last substantive defender of individual freedom and liberty in the world. Would you rather see the CCP as the dominant world power?
You are madder than a March hare.
“But we can legally and peacefully deprive the top of the food chain with mass refusal to financially support the Corporate Communism agenda.”
Define that action. If you think not buying a car or tv will hurt, you have no idea where their money and power comes from.
Pure, unadulterated BS. The union will not be dissolved period. From a practical standpoint, we are so intertwined nationally that the states can't be separated out politically. The biggest Republican state in terms of votes is CA. Trump received more votes in CA than he did in TX. Biden received more votes in TX than he did in NY.
Red states and blue states don't represent the reality in terms of your fantasy of a civil war. 20% of the population moves every year. Demographics are constantly changing. Who are the parties to this "inevitable conflict." Who will lead it and what is the level of popular support? Get real.
Liberia has our exact same constitution, and of course is a disaster. The culture is greater than the law. I finally came out of my more comfortable libertarian mindset and now openly take up culture for faith, family, and nation. It gets uncomfortable, even with my own family, but just can’t not challenge the society destroying mindset anymore.

See the problem?
I could do it. I’d start with a purge.If you can do it so can anyone else.
Be careful what you wish for. You and everything you believe in might be "purged" in the first wave.
This is the same BS that gave us “our immigration system is broken”. It was never broken; it was just flouted by politicians who were part of the cheap labor express and undocumented democrat voter brigade. So the constitution “isn’t working” if it limits ‘rats from what they want to do.
“One of the things taken out of the curriculum was civics. Civics was a class that used to be required before you could graduate from high school. You were taught what was in the U.S. Constitution. And after all the student rebellions in the Sixties, civics was banished from the student curriculum and was replaced by something called social studies. Here we live in a country that has a fabulous constitution and all these guarantees, a contract between the citizens and the government – nobody knows what’s in it…And so, if you don’t know what your rights are, how can you stand up for them? And furthermore, if you don’t know what’s in the document, how can you care if someone is shredding it?”

The biggest blunder was Bush appointing Roberts...for life.
He has more control over you life than the three Trump appointments combined.
The Constitution is working. The actual problem is that We The People aren’t doing our duty to protect it. We just angrily blog and vote in crooked elections. It will take some effort, maybe some violence, to restore the Republic.
“Define that action. If you think not buying a car or tv will hurt, you have no idea where their money and power comes from.”
And there is the denial and refusal to actually cut off their income in mass I talk about. This has been brainwashed into us with the consumerism dictating to our subconscious that we “can’t live without” their products and services. And because we are spoiled we have helped them by even convincing ourselves this is the case because we do not want to compromise even one small comfort of lifestyle.
We are 50% of the customer market for these products from these woke companies. You better believe that if 50% of the market refuses to purchase their product period it would change their attitude quick. But it will take more than four or five. There would have to be a mass campaign and folks would have to be willing to stand on principle and temporarily sacrifice addictions and selfish lifestyles.
Roberts is wholly and totally owned by the Democrat Party. But according to “Conservatives” he was to be the Tom Cat’s Kitten. The savior when appointed. In reality he has not changed since being appointed. The only thing he did was grow older. He was a son of a bitch then. He is a son of a bitch now.
Probably already posted, but:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams
Make no mistake, conflict is coming. Only a matter of when and at what point will the conflict take place. On Churchill’s scale…
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed;
if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may
come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
Where are we now?
Where will we be then?
Those are the relevant questions.
As to whom…
Brother Against brother
Father against son.
Gonna get ugly out there
