well fair enough

to condense: The only way to prevent our society from falling into further tyranny is to remove the positive rights that have been granted by previous generations for political favor, and the uneducated majority will not give those up lightly.

Damned if you do, damned if you dont

well, there is talk about constitutional amendments

to reduce federal power

Yeah, well, good luck with that when the entire interior, Midwest, and mountain west wants something in opposition to the coastal elites

they're using something in article 5 to circumvent the normal rules of constitution reform

it's complicated

still haven't read full article

Yeah, it's the constitutional convention

i c

anyway, brb later

see ya

Its not circumventing. Its a litteral part of the constitution.

And it hasnt been called it will hing on the election

You're right it is in the Constitution, idk where the author got that idea.

But this has been talked about for decades

Oh yea. Its been in talks since post regan. But never has been needed. You know before the civil war, there was an attempt by southern states to call a new contenental congress that failed iirc.

It wouldn't go over very well.


About as well as the South seceding from the US

Well true. But it shows that even calling one isnt a universally republican idea

Yeah, cause then it opens up the door for the coastal elites states to shove their own ideas in there

Like universal healthcare, or some other fanciful idealism

Only thing is a contenental congress is much like the senate. Where each state gets 1 or 2 representatives

And if republicans have enough states to call one. Doubt something to leftist will slip through.

Possibly, but this is something that could go on for YEARS

If it ever happens.

If anything its a tea party movement. And tea party doesnt have the power they did.

Why you posting garbage?

Bitch I’m posting news

Interesting. It's the otherway around over here.

This ain't news

Young swedes are becoming more right/more conservative.

It's because American teens haven't felt real hardship yet

This just in: Young Americans in 2018 are the dumbest, and least educated ever

And they feel entitled to the world

No offence. But americans are rather obnoxious. Especially the younger ones.

@MountainMan how?

Thinking they're better than everyone, thinking everything revolves around them, and not thinking about the ideas they have.
