There are racists and bigots. You just forget that you have gotten your crazy Prog Socialist buddies to declare that you can not be. So "poof", you are not. Anyone who has experienced it though from your minions knows different. And never forgets. You evil cretins have successfully divided this nation. And when it is gone the books written on it will condemn you. Your future..our future are the deep blue authoritarian leadership we see now. Only it will be entrenched and a thousand times more vicious. And you see the police/corrections/judicial fiefdom fall right in line with them.There is no deep state. We lost the mantle of being the world's defender of human rights when the racist bigot known as the Orange Messiah was elected. The Constitution has been amended numerous times and needs to be amended again in order to ensure the will of the majority is carried out.1. At least Dr Grump liked your post.He is wrong about the Senate. The two Houses of Congress were necessary as the "Great Compromise" between small and large states.
He said something in there that I have banged on about with regard to the EC and the Senate and how unfair it is.
I'll ask you this: At it's must fundamental, is it okay for one per son in Wyoming to have the same amount of say as 68 people in California. That to me, is fundamentally unfair. Let's take it to the nth degree - let's say it was 1 million vs 68 million?
You know in Rwanda, the biggest issue was that the Belgians created a ruling class called the Tutsi. They made up 15% of Rwanda's population. I did a study of the country about four years before the genocide. I said to my teacher at the time, 'I'm surprised the Hutu's haven't overthrown them". We then had a discussion - the exact content of which I can't remember verbatim - but it was something along the lines (this was my teacher saying this) that sometimes it doesn't take a lot of people to control a larger group of people. Or course, four years later and 100s of 1000s of dead Tutsi's later.
If you want to live in 'the greatest, freest' and dear I say 'fairest' country in the world, then I'm sorry, somebody in Wyoming having more representation at a Federal level will not work. Resentment will grow.
I'll also say this: Surely any really pressing matters for the smaller states can be sorted at a state level. Also, if a smaller state does have an issue, who's to say the larger states won't agree with them if they put up a good argument?
If you marginalize people, and they think a systems is unfair, there will be repercussions. The video touched on them.
1. The US Constitution went thru the big state vs small state debate in 1776. Its fucking over. Stop whining about it.
2. Move to Wyoming if that issue is so important to you.
3. You can resent the EC until you die, it is not going to fucking change.
4. If the EC was replaced by a popular vote only 4-states would matter, and the folks in the other 46 states would be resentful too.
5. The Constitution has done us well since 1776, as has the EC, if you really feel resentment, try a therapist.
The Founding Fathers Wrote a Constitution for a small coastal nation of 3.5 million people where the rest of the world lived a minimum of 6 weeks and a perilous sea voyage away. Canons were the most powerful weapons and guns were single shot pistols and muskets.
If your 200 year old Constitution was really working for you, neither of the worst two fiscally destructive Presidents in history would have been elected. There would have been no Iraq War, and no ISIS. You’d have competent leadership in this pandemic instead of a guy who is shoveling money to his donors and friends while cutting off funding to states, cities and people who didn’t vote for him.
The video is spot on. It is supposed to be government of the people, for the people, by the people and it’s not anything like that.
The Roman Republic endured for 1000 years because the elites never got greedy, and they fully recognized that as long as the Head Count was well fed, happy and entertained, they could play they corrupt games and nobody cared. Bread and circuses.
Well the American head count are not well fed, the are not happy and they sure as fuck aren’t being entertained.
Your Republic has failed and the people have lost. Don’t think they aren’t pissed off.
2. You like the Roman Empire? Try these guys:

3. In 2016 Americans were fed up with the DC "deep state", before that it was the "Tea Party". Trump is the answer. You'll see in November.
4. The US republic has not "failed"? Its even weird that you could type something that stupid? Name one other country in the world as indispensable as the US to protect human rights and freedom around the world.
5. The US Constitution has served us well for over 250 years, I see no reason to change it except to stop "anchor babies".
