....or are we now at the point where a Stalinesque Reign of Terror against right wing terrorist insurgency is required to salvage the Republic?
Does our Constitution even allow the kind of "fix" of which America is in desperate need,
or does it need to be suspended until the Red State Insurrection is squashed by whatever means required
and a new constitutional convention can be convened?
America is at a tipping point,
and if it tips the wrong way, the Republican Party way,
it will be flushed down history's toilet as another failed social experiment.
What's the preferred action? Do we do something about it? Do we just say "fuck it" and let history choose its own course?
I don't see the sense of urgency required to do anything but the latter.
Thus, if I were required to predict,
the dystopic demise of the Republic would right now, at least, seem to be the smarter bet.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Nobody who's NOT on ignore has any comment?
I guess that it's so obvious that it doesn't require discussion.
We're fucked.

The idea than private citizens could protect themselves with small arms may have made sense in the late 18th Century but it's absolutely ludicrous now.
Also, the conservative working class is too mentally deficient to defend itself anyway.
Non-billionaire conservatives are by any reasonable standard complete idiots.

it is absolutely more necessary now and leftwing leaders such as Chicago, allow criminals to continue to kill each other along with citizens that are not allowed to protect themselves. That stupid shit does not and could not happen here as citizens are allowed to own weapons to respond immediately instead of hiding hoping law enforcement arrives before it is too late. If you truly believe that last statement, come and get some boy.
That would be fine if the popular vote meant anything, Jack.
It doesn't, and in electoral votes, right wing states are wildly over represented compared to their percentage of the population.
Places like Georgia and Arizona that went blue are locally "fixing" things so that such can't happen again.
You're vastly underestimating the machinations that are underway in Republican controlled State Legislatures.
It's nothing less that a full scale insurrection.

In all likelihood, I could have stretched and pounded somebody like you when I was fourteen and most likely still can at seventy-four.
The real humor is trying to imagine you calling me "boy" to my face.
Welcome to ignore, you feckless troglodyte.
I shall no longer subject myself to any drivel that you post.
With your grammar, it's nearly impossible to read anyway.
