re: #21 PrairieQueen

A well-regulated militia is what, again?// Funny, but regulated is the first part of the second amendment. Second part basically says, “Everybody can have guns.” Actually, for how goddamned smart these founding fathers were, that sentence is written like shit.

And I am sick to death of worshiping the founding fucking fathers as infallible clairvoyants, because they weren’t, and there is no way they could be. Upon closer inspection, many were as failed and fallible and human as any other mortal.

You and me both. Hate this worship of mostly slave holders as though they had the answer to everything. Their design of the government and the rights accorded states and individuals was a good, but very flawed, start. We have certainly learned from the Trump regime how flawed it remains after over 2 centuries of tinkering with the Constitution. The persistence of the Electoral College, the poison of gerrymandering, and the determined efforts to suppress voting rights, all legal under the Constitution, will ultimately destroy us all.
