Throw it on the pile? I guess?

    That’s why I say we have to either split the union and all be separate (free to join into smaller groups), or we just rewrite the constitution and remake the government from the ground up.

      I don’t think the second option is viable.

      You have whole states loving the pedo unconditionally. And they would need to sign a constitution that specifically bars them to try and summon a new trump.

      They simply won’t sign it. So you better start thinking as separate states that join to stay relevant and hope the red union that will shortly after form doesn’t have imperialist aspirations. Otherwise you’ll be in for a second civil war.

        But the economics in the red states would lead to such bad living conditions that people would move, and then the spiral of no money, and no people to fight a war would lead to a very one sided victory.

          They are in the process of connecting to the national grid actually. I guess they could just disconnect it again

      We have to do the latter regardless because we’ve proven the current ones are fundamentally broken and all it took was to act in bad faith. Literally all of this because there’s intentionally no system in place to account for bad faith or no confidence.

        That is actually the exact purpose of the second amendment. So that we the people can replace a government that no longer works for the people of the country.
