The constitution was written to protect us from people like Trump.

[fightforfreedom]

That's why Trump wants to get rid of it. This simple, basic, easy to understand truth cannot be grasped by Trump voters. I have no idea how people can ignore, not understand this. What has happened to their brains can only be explained by mental health experts.

Not being able to grasp Trump is a danger to our country, to the Trump voters themselves can be compared to this.

Not having the ability to understand fire can burn you. What in the hell happened to these people?

1. Constant tv viewing of Faux News can do that for you.

That is my guess. Good morning. ☀️

[Tommymac]

9. Constant listening to Hate Radio on the AM dial twice a day every day for decades during commute

Thanks Rush.

Thanks 1% billionaire owned Clear Channel.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Emotion, self-importance, and paranoia trump logic anyday

Personally, seeing the lot of them, I think their brains are clogged with animal fat, but hey there is the vegetarian shaman among them so there goes that theory

[peacebuzzard]

3. supremacists still thrive in the deep south

a large portion of the population thrives on the guns and guts theory; then, there are voters supportive of the republican party agenda, and to hell with the fringe issues that cling to it.

8. not just the deep south

10. Root Cause Analysis: See my Post #9. nt

[peacebuzzard]

11. will GA turn blue on this map after the runoff?

I pray GA turns the southern red tide again. The major battle is here.

Great map.

[Celerity]

15. No, as the Rethugs still dominate at state level

[Celerity]

21. I did make one very minor change, I changed ME-2 to light red, as we do win the House seat, but

we now seem to lose the POTUS single EC vote (Maine needs to stop that bloody split EC vote allocation, especially if Nebraska does, and they came within one vote of ending it a few years back)

4. The Constitution was written for people like Trump

only if we elect honest, honorable, patriotic people to Congress and select honest non-partisan people to the Supreme Court.

Not to mention federal judges.

[Mr. Ected]

5. You can't protect us from people like Trump

When so many of our people are people like Trump.

There's nothing wrong with the Constitution. Only a confederacy that was never quelled.

[gab13by13]

6. Well said,

The Magat party doesn't just bow to Trump, it bows to the dark monied domestic oligarch who fund Magats and their causes, mainly an end to democracy.

[stopdiggin]

12. +1. there really is little in the Constitution

that protects the country from bad political choice. And in fact, it's hard to imagine how it could - while still staying true to democratic principle.

Being able to vote for the predatory, the criminal, and the clearly unqualified (along with the good and virtuous) is more or less the essence ...

And that is the rock upon which this (and other democracies) may eventually founder. But that is ultimately the thing called democracy.

[Mr. Ected]

23. Democracy assumes that all people, regardless of political affiliation, adhere to the Constitution

That assumption was unfortunately errant.

[lonely bird]

24. Iirc, Hamilton tried to claim that the Electoral College would do just that in the Federalist Papers

Guess that didn’t work out too well.

[Wounded Bear]

25. It worked better when there were barely a dozen states. At 50 it's kind of unmanageable...

[Irish_Dem]

28. Yes Trump is only a symptom of a much more serious, deeper problem.

One third of the US population no longer values democracy and wants racist white supremacy rule.

[Mr. Ected]

29. Same as it ever was

We may have legislated against hatred but you can't change some people's hearts. Lots of them, apparently.

[Irish_Dem]

32. Yes the US has a very dark side.

Hatred, anger, racism, callous disregard for human live.
Profit, wealth, getting rich is the only real value.

[Maine Abu El Banat]

7. My usual argument to the knuckle dragging right

Trump becomes dictator
Trump feels threatened
Trump takes the guns!
Then what ya gonna do?

[stopdiggin]

14. whoa ....

So we're going to slip a little 2nd Amend boosterism in to conversation? Has anyone (in any of the three branches) even feinted in the direction of "takes away the guns" - in the past 40+ years?

[Maine Abu El Banat]

22. You totally missed what I was saying

Dictator Trump would seize all guns. If he thought they threatened his power. These people don't realize how a all powerful trump would effect their lives.

[Joinfortmill]

18. Yes, yes and yes! "Then what ya gonna do?"

[ProudMNDemocrat]

20. To the many who still follow TDFG..

The 2nd Amendment is the ONLY one that matters. Take away their guns, those guns will likely turn on him. The rest of the US Constitution that guarantees rights be damned.

[The Jungle 1]

13. How many times have I said that has to be the final straw

Yet the pond scum is still floating on the pond.
Being found guilty will be the only thing that stops this insanity.

[Joinfortmill]

19. This!!!!

[Joinfortmill]

16. Nothing good, that's for sure.

[doc03]

17. I think it needs updating. Even after being impeached twice, attempting a

coup and saying it should be eliminated he can still be elected President. Same goes for Congress, we had
people from Congress actively supporting the coup and 140 of them voting to overturn the election and they are still in office.

[ramapo]

26. Complete lack of critical thinking

My question for most of everything that Trump has said along these lines has been, “what if Obama said that?”.

[Irish_Dem]

27. Elections, voters, the constitution, the government are all in the way of what they want.

The want permanent power and white christian male minority rule.

The GOP/MAGAs grasp Trump's comments very well.

[onecaliberal]

30. It doesn't though. It didn't get rid of him while he was selling U.S. secrets to our enemies and it

Isn’t stopping him from trying to do it all over again. It also hasn’t put him in prison for even one of the thousands of crimes he committed while we watched.

[Irish_Dem]

31. The MAGAs are saying that in a democracy, voters can vote out a democratic form of government.

And install a dictatorship.

[llashram]

33. what has happened

is the moral rot of their brain. The big traitor and his 1-6-21 followers on the ground and in government have this problem eating away their morality, integrity and position(s). Their leader is the perfect example. Just to pick two egregious transgressions, 33 thousand plus lies during his 4 years in the highest office in this land. And his TOTAL disregard for members of our military. Cowardice personified by the ex. He metaphorically spat on Gold Star families. Normandy? God, I hated him for that!

rant finished, hope I don't offend the author of the post or any others.
