Eliminating the Constitution, as the Founders intended. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump loyalist pushes ‘post-constitutional’ vision for second termwww.washingtonpost.com Russ Vought, the former president’s budget director, is laying the groundwork for a broad expansion of presidential powers.

Hey, “Big Government Liberals!” You can’t do that! It’s not What The Founders Intended!™️ Stick to “original intent!” Stick to “original intent!” Stick to “original intent!” Oh yeah? Well guess what, Trumpers! The thing YOU’RE doing is unconstitutional, too! We’re post-constitutional now.

in fairness the only real and sacred part of the Constitution was the 2nd Amendment anyway

Only for white people they agree with

White people they agree with, unless they're poor, then they're on thin fuckin' ice.

They are saying that the woke left have created a post constitutional world and they need to purge their influence to restore the purity of the original vision of the founding fathers.

They are using that as their excuse, yes.

They don't have a problem with the original document they want to eliminate the amendments won by civil rights movements.

I don’t think so. For instance, you won’t find the impoundment authority he’s touting anywhere in the document. Certainly not in the post-Civil War amendments. And it’s been explicitly rejected as counter-textual by the Supreme Court. Yet that’s squarely in their sights.

That doesn't contradict what I said? The civil war amendments are not part of the original document.

Emoluments is in the "original. " They just added "does not apply to Trump" to it.

Selective application is also a feature of the original.

Does this guy know what eventually happens to people like him when they get their wish? Once all enemies have been eliminated and the economy melts down due to the infallible dear leader's failed policies, those around him become the scapegoats and are lucky if they escape with their lives.

I’m gonna be mad if we’re taken over by stupid fascists who don’t understand the words they use

Yes, but how many divisions has he exasperated?

Probably all of them. This guy reminds me of Jeffrey Clark, not understanding that he is utterly expendable and will get no help when he inevitably ends up under the bus

Also want to say his Biblical literacy is crapola

Lunatics speak a secret language only they comprehend.

It’s the self-induced problem of trying to appear smarter than you actually are. Marjorie Taylor-Greene does this all the time: she’s vaguely aware of a particular “smart person word” but she doesn’t actually know it so she chooses one that kind of sounds like it.

General rule: don’t use words that you can’t 100% define

Or words you can't pronounce.

Jeezus fuck… we’re going have to keep slapping down these deranged Christian wingnuts for the next 2 or 3 election cycles. Or however long it takes until we can break this insane movement.

I've got some bad news. The Peronist movement continued for a very long time after Juan Perón himself died. The MAGAts aren't going anywhere. He has created a monster. The Congressional MAGAts will double-down when he loses, they have no choice.

Read the article. Genuinely terrifying what they’re openly planning. Which means the things they talk about doing behind closed doors?

tbf at this point they're basically entirely mask-off. They no longer fear being exposed because why should they? There have been no consequences for it.

genocide. they're planning to do magnitudes more genocide than the current administration is doing, both at home and overseas.

Trump’s second term will be an absolute nightmare.

lol “term”

"Reign"

“Would” be

“The founding fathers were shitty selfish assholes, just like me!” - The average Trump voter

Post-constitutional is such a bourgie way to say authoritarian.

Obviously not the most important point, but in this article and virtually everywhere, I notice how his cult still refer to him as the president as if he’s the current one. The intentionality…

Plumbing the depths of incoherence.

God has commanded it, apparently. It wasn't in my church bulletin last week. Will check again tomorrow.

Welcome to Project 2025. Every dystopian novel leads there….

There were Nazis in America before. These people want to push fascism, power and death to everyone who opposes them.

The founders did illegally usurp the articles of confederation

As they actually intended.

Pharisee be gone

"Christian Immigration Ethic" They blaspheme the Lord's name by claiming ANY of the utter sewage they spew is Christian.

Yeah, fuck the Constitution
