God, is there anywhere that isn't full of US politics???

It keeps happening! I'm losing it!

Won't someone PLEASE think about the CONSTITUTION!

Trump spent four years breaking the law and Biden spent four years not putting his ass in jail. Meanwhile, you've NYPD officers putting bullets into the heads of people adjacent to turnstill jumpers. You've got paramilitary raids on college campuses and suburban neighbors to thrash peaceful protesters. You've got pipeline companies stealing property with the government's blessing, while locals blocking the illegal construction are sprayed with tear gas. You've got a billionaire actively buying votes three weeks before an election, while the FEC twiddles its thumbs. You've got illegal overseas occupation of territory from Okinawa to Al Anbar to Guantanamo Bay. You've got a SCOTUS that's taking bribes to issue rulings and Congressmen taking bribes to write laws and Governors taking bribes to turn over public property to private interests.

Whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.

Personally I don't think it's helpful to treat a slavers' pact like how some people treat the bible.

I couldn't give less of a turd about a constitution, especially one that's been the source of endless oppression and genocide. It's a fundamental reason why the usa is such a trash heap.

Ok, but what if I hated America before Chump lowered himself from TV host to Presidential Candidate?

Like back in the G-Dub days I was asking Tshirt shops if they'd make "Death to America" shirts for me. (Only ever found 2 btw which was very brave of them in post 9/11 USA)

I hate America but don't want Trump. What do?
