Why do you shill for ideologies that contradict the vision the founders had for America?

The Founding Fathers were brilliant people, but still people. They had flaws and couldn't predict every issue America would face in the future. For instance, they didn't bother making English our official language because they felt English would obviously stay dominant.

They were right?

It's not that English has become a minority language, but that the lack of an official language is bad for America. Assimilation can't happen if we allow enclaves of people to speak only in their language.

Like Belgium... which has three official languages, but also many such enclaves.

And resistance should be futile. They should be assimilated.

Ya my family has been since before the founders and they spoke French. The government made our culture illegal in the 60s thru the 80s. Fuck the English https://thecajunpeopleoflouisiana.weebly.com/reflection.html

while the founders foresaw political parties/factions emerging, all they did was write Federalist papers and letters whining about it instead of hard-coding the check/balance against them in the constitution

so either they were OK with this or were fallible

and every nation that has representative democracy in some way, has parties

funny how the only illegal political position to take is to call for the abolition of the present government form...

Other countries have more than two entrenched parties. In the US political parties are non-profit corporate entities that do whatever they legally can to crush other parties.

The present form of government is not what was intended. It has to be torn down and dismantled.

The Constitution was violated almost immediately by your own infallible founding fuckers, look up the whiskey rebellion for just the first most blatant violation.

It barely lasted a century before we went full socialist: see the depression era reactionary laws and then the new deal. You can thank women for giving us prohibition, and later welfare coupled with an unending drug war. With the resulting police powers that would have been Stalin and Mao's fevered wet dream.

What we have now is socialism parading as a free market, with a giant government with its hooks into every aspect of our lives. And a ppl too stupid or apathetic to care.

Look I get it, the rest of the world is worse. American exceptionalism is real, but also be able to see its flaws.

I hope this country breaks into more manageable regions, and I end up in the one that goes full free market.

But more likely is our decent further into socialism ↘️ authoritarian regime ↘️ starvation ↘️ mass Graves

I ain't going down with this ship...

And I left off the whole civil war fiasco, where the states lost any remaining facade of sovereignty. The violations committed by Lincoln should have painted him a traitor, not a hero regardless of the slavery aspect.

It's so strange to see conservatives worship the Constitution, when the spirit of its laws have been rejected constantly for our entire history.
