meaning most people are going to want to reform it; not do away with half of it

That goes away when push comes to shove

radical reformism is the way to go

we dont want to remove the constitution

just simply reframe the goals the way they were meant to be

Can't reform a system that just bars you from taking part of it from the get go

Basically all fascist parties get banned

"all men are created equal' really means all men have the potential of equality of opportunity in order to allow for the truly hierarchically gifted to prevail

the amendments

Besides people would do away with the constitution in a heartbeat if they had to

are drawn from all sorts of inspirations aside from the current era

not true nationalist americans

If people had to actually fight to survive they wouldn't care about enlightenment values

Not true patriots but they don't really exist

parts of the enlightenment weren't liberalistic

there were several strains

I know

particularly hobbes

I'm talking about liberalism

liberalists just interpret the constitution in a way that fits their ends

People don't care about ideology that much when they need to fight to survive is my point

The constitution is just a piece of paper, it's only meaning is the meaning people ascribe to it

depends on how you look at it

im a strict constructionst who believes the constitution needs to be maintained for its original purposes

the constitution is a set of commandments rather than interchangable parts

But that's still irrelevant to how other people see it though

Your average person would choose to live over retaining constitutional values

that's how liberal enlightenment thinkers saw it; and it's the wrong philosophy to live by

that will change as time goes on

It's like if you put 300 people on a stranded Island, they wouldn't care about rules say if no one can enforce them

people will eventually see liberty for what it truly is instead of some made up idea of "I can do whatever the hell i want under the guise of freedom"

I doubt that

Heavily

If anything people are moving towards that

I dont see this at all

We're not gonna stop people from believing that unless there's a drastic change that takes their mind off of it

I see people moving away from constitutional liberalism

and moving more towards conservatism

They're moving towards progressivism

especially zoomers
