People, including Trumpers, Ammosexuals, RWNJs, Indies, Conservatives and Moderate Democrats,
need to understand, we have NO RIGHTS!
That includes the 2nd Amendment, too.
If the government can set up "free speech zones" away from people who object to having different opinions, so Republican Conventions don't have to hear protests (see Bush RNC 2004 NYC); since the 4th Amendment is basically ignored; the "Right to Vote" is, in effect, subject to "interpretations" and other legal actions(?); the 8th Amendment is such a joke it isn't even applicable any longer (unless you're rich or famous); the 7th Amendment has been abused by Republican Judges and Legislators for 40 years; the 6th is currently being destroyed by Garland, et al.; the 10th is being abused by mostly Red States; the 9th is so ignored only 1 out of, maybe 10,000 are aware of it; then our Government, Supine Laughable Court, can do as they damn well please, on anything they want.
I could go one but, no, we today HAVE NO RIGHTS and the Fascist Right understands that. Further they understand the Independents and Moderate Democrats living in their own Walter Mitty world don't give a damn about pretty much anything so long as whatever is done or law is passed doesn't affect them in their comfortable jobs with their decent benefits and "THEY paid off their college loans" so why should they pay for anyone elses and heaven forbid, don't even talk about Health Care for ALL because they think it might somehow impact THEIR lives while making other's less painful and of course, it'll never pass so let's not talk about it right now!.
These Amendments (and more) need to be reworked so they're not subject to legalese interpreations by One-SiIded Courts and those with agendas only for a few.
I got mine, you get yours seems to be the new Mantra of the Indie/Moderate Democrat. Maybe they need a new moniker? How about "ConDems"? At least that term explains what they're trying to do to the rest of us but will be "keeping" it safe for themselves."
And the Word "Progressive" has become evil to even mention to most Moderates. I'm not sure how they think being more conservative has gotten them all the "niceties" they enjoy. We didn't get better living, better communication, more free time, longer lives by saying, "Hey, we need to slow up on this progressive stuff...but keep making new things for me and my family to enjoy."
Tell me about your Freedom for All, now. It's time for a major progressive movement. We've had too much of Reagen/Republican/Fascist doctrine for too many lifetimes. It's time to move forward.
