As I said to another just now, the lawmakers are not doing their job. They're either ignoring or blocking the correct course. They're obligated to follow their oath to the Constitution. If that's not broken, then I don't know what is.
Furthermore, yes, it's an artful document that's 250 years old now. It needs a little help. It needs an update. In our current state, I could see our government using Chat Jippity to write those updates.
Asking a bunch of open-ended what-if questions to contrast what's actually happening is fine, but @underpantsWeevil@lemmy.world and apparently you aren't seeing that these "things" aren't doing shit. So, effectively, it's the same stance I'm taking - just framed differently.
"What if X is done and Y is this?" That's my point. If nothing is changing despite our efforts, then nothing is being done. The Constitution is worthless right now and no number rhetorical questions will change that. Isolated, low impact regional flare-ups won't do much and can be locally suppressed and painted as disgruntled "ANTIFA" or whatever the state wants to call it next.
The Constitution is being ignored. We as a nation are failing to hold our government accountable in a meaningful way. If this election in November proves to actually unseat Trump's coalition, then the next step will be for politicians to fortify against him and others like him, then codify the changes in a way that can't be subverted by regular means.
Asking "What if" a bunch of times doesn't do or say a thing to help fix the Constitutional crisis we're now facing. So, get off your high horse and come down to earth with the rest of us who want to actually fight instead of casting unhelpful dispersions.
"Of" being the operative part of the name. United States OF America. Derivative of the land name given by the European explorers. While it's incorrect to just say "America," you'd probably just be considered annoying if you went around reminding people or pretending not to get it.
That'll teach 'em.
