The constitution can be suspended using a national emergency iirc
patriot act lets the government ignore citizenship if deemed a terrorist
lmao
"rights"
We have rights because we aren't a threat
Not do be all doomer on you, but that's the current state of the government
They own the laws and the means of enforcing them through courts
Selectively
But hopefully we change it after the second term
We did a lot to fight their courts already in the first term
Actually the reason we have rights is precisely BECAUSE we are a threat. Try to take them away, you have a problem. If they disarm us, different story.
FBI raids you if you are a threat
and the court gag orders you
They also ruled the US govt. can ignore constitutional rights during wartime when they imprisoned Japanese-Americans in WW2.
That case is overturned btw. Koramatsu
They'll just put you on a FBI suspected terrorist list instead
Well i guess when enough fuckery is afoot, the people act out, Zephfyre. Like by electing Trump
That is true
There is a natural breaking point for Americans imo
Like Pearl Harbor
Like 1776
I give Americans the benefit of the doubt because 1776 was an INCREDIBLY long time in the making
relatively
Trump was also overdue, but here we are
Think about it this way, if we didn't have Obama, we wouldn't think about having Trump
It would've been Romney (secret Obama) types
Oof.
In an ironic way, Obama was one of the best things because it caused Trump
I dont claim to know how it would be
But its possible
Still, eff obama
Well, yeah
He was straight up an Islamic Agent
Idk about all that, its enough for me that his policies were trash and he accelerated the govts corruption by 50 years overnight
Yeah, people only react to overt changes in America
If it was 50 years slower, there would be no end in sight
All the "we will 1776 if they take our guns!!!" guys seem to think they just walk up and do it at once
No, they are much more insidious
As people in t_d liked to say, moving the overton window
They do it slowly, and make you accept compromise
