Remember when he said it? It wasn’t that long ago. https://www.deseret.com/2022/12/5/23494590/donald-trump-terminate-constitution-elon-musk-mike-lee-twitter-files/
That’s a good tweet, but this is definitely the wrong community
Edit: people have explained to me that this is not actually the case, and the name of the community is just a leftover from Reddit
I mean it was written by slave holders to defend their property (land, factories, and slaves) against the masses.
But given that people like Trump are exactly who it was written to protect, I suspect that’s not why he hates it.
Honestly, the constitution at this point is in fact irreparably fucked after the immunity ruling.
We need to throw it all out and start over with an actual democratic system with federal distribution of power that’s an actual power sharing agreement instead of traitors jumping to whichever level of government they think they have the most control over at the moment.
Also, abolish the office of president. It’s obvious that the independent executive will permanently stand as a danger to the republic no matter who ascends to the white house. The concept inherently promotes parasitic leaching of powers whenever an opposing branch doesn’t do thing the executive wants.
Most of the blighted systems in US government could heal organically (democratically) with just a handful of critical amendments. Throwing it out might be overkill.
For example, establishing multi member district plurality would allow FAR greater flexibility for major progress (including further amendments to the Constitution) since coalition governments have larger majorities to clear the otherwise stringent voting thresholds.
Re: the presidency, I tend to agree. Beyond the usefulness of a figurehead, every purported benefit of a unilateral decision maker is a potential liability of equal or greater magnitude.
TL;DR: all constitutions can/should be fixed continuously. Figurehead-oriented presidencies can be useful, but one office should wield little to no power. Giving them nukes is a recipe for disaster.
Hasn’t Kamala openly come out in favor of a mandatory gun buyback? Sounds pretty unconstitutional to me…
