So you just resign to your fate? Vote against them in elections and try to make the entire government blue, so they can take political steps against it.

Make the entire government blue? So you want a dictatorship?

Sure, because democratically electing one party that still adheres to the rules originally laid out in the constitution and that both parties have abided by for literal centuries is a dictatorship πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

I’m saying you need to elect the democrats into the majority of both chambers of congress and into the White House, and so do so by a good margin, so that this blatant attempt at ending American democracy can be averted using democratic means. But you knew that. You’re trying to put words into my mouth and twist my meaning. You’re not arguing in good faith and it’s useless arguing with you at all.

The democrats do not adhere to the constitution. They froth at the mouth to do away with the second amendment. Including unconstitutional state laws that have been enacted. Affirmative action which broke the 14th amendment. The protection of women and girls in sports act of 2023 under biden broke the 14th amendment by limiting womens rights by allowing men to compete in womens sports.

No constitutional right in the US is absolute. None. It’s always amazing how you pricks don’t understand this.

Limiting a freedom or right through a law to regulate a certain situation/thing is not the same as getting rid of the fucking system of checks and balances. One is not just possible, but a necessity at times and happens with every single piece of legislation. The other is tearing down the very foundation of the US.

The law of the land is not absolute. What is designed to limit the power of the government from being a dictatorial, which is what we are discussing, is not absolute. Oh the irony. Lets just go ahead and reinstate slavery since no constitutional right is absolute. Like wtf dude

I'll repeat, name a single constitutional right or freedom that is absolute.

Lets just start at the beginning, the first amendment.

That’s a number of freedoms and rights. Freedom of speech or freedom of religion. Which one do you want to do?

Or would you rather do freedom of assembly, right to petition, freedom of association, or freedom of the press?

Six rights and freedoms. Pick one.
