No! No! NO! You don't get to place the OP in the Democratic Party and then attach all Democrats and liberals to stupid stuff. Nice twisty propaganda nonsense from whomever is trying to plant the idea that Democrats and progressives hate the Constitution and the country and desire to dissolve both.

The world has watched as Trump Republicans have choked the Constitution and demolished democracy. So now that dedicated Americans, Republicans and Democrats alike, have taken a stand to protect the institutions that have made the United States a great nation, you Hawk, are going to preposterously pretend that Trumpisms' goal wasn't and isn't to achieve exactly the destruction of those very institutions? You know, blame shift Trumpisms' white nationalistic, deconstruct the principles of American government goals to Democrats?

That sure is some Parscale-Putinesque type propaganda you are trying to push. Nice try, but no cigar.

BTW: I thought we liberal retarded types and Democrats were too elite and educated and "booksmart" and that was our problem; so now that it is convenient for you, just forget that accusation and make a new one, never mind that it is another generalized statement that is the polar opposite. How dumb do you think people are, Hawkeye?

IMHO, the Trump campaign is desperate because the Democratic Party agenda is to gather all patriotic Americans in a shared fidelity to the Constitution and a commitment to defeat Trumpism. And this resonates with we the people. And it has Trump running scared.
Pelosi, Putin's biggest puppet. Trying to destroy America's faith in their institutions. How has our President "choked the Constitution and demolished democracy?" You just repeat a lot of mindless talking points and demonstrate you have trouble thinking for yourself.

Trump would like nothing better than to trash the constitution. He’d be a dictator for sure then with no restraint.

Yeah really. Forget about the scientific revolution and reason and enlightenment and all that "white stuff". "He's a racist. Burn the racist.".

Good point. There is a reason for the "witch hunt" analogy. It has a historical basis. Lol call it Social Salem. The SS.

The anacronymic pun should ruffle a few feathers. Of course a lot of the crowd out there calling Trump a Nazi and for all who may support him in any way to be publically executed dont even know who the Nazis were and what the SS was.

They dont teach that in school any more.

If some SJWs write a constitution now, it doesn’t matter what’s it in. It will be great by definition because it was written by the woke.
I hope you're being sarcastic because I just repped you for that post, LOL.

One that won't allow free speech, right? Or freedom of religion (except for the religion of "Woke")?

And yet that hasn't happened. The only ones we see wanting to "trash the constitution" are on the left.

Just like I did growing up he had access to my Dads extensive library. He was encouraged to read. And he had more than just the educational system's skewed and censored perspective to work with.

I didnt hand my son over for public school to raise. Far to many people have done and are doing that. Witness the result in the OP. And before someone says it, my hat is made of wool felt. Not foil.
Per the highlighted portion on libraries...I encourage anyone to actually tour the colonial homes of the South, like in Williamsburg VA, Charleston SC, etc. Just peruse what is on the library shelves of the old south, and understand they were considered LESS educated. It's funny how much more educated and well read our forebears were compared to now.

Shame there's only like a dozen schools in the nation that still offer a classical education. That was THE standard back in the day. It's how a document like the Declaration or the Constitution gets written and then gets reasonable, learned people to discuss debate and eventually agree upon.

Shame it only lasted a few years before tyranny's cancer arrived in the host, but at the outset, there really was some good thinking, talking, etc.
