The Constitution was supposed to be foolproof - containing all the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. It was supposed to contain all the mechanisms to prevent governance issues that nonetheless have emerged and seem intractable. What the hell happened? "jews" is only part of the answer, no?

The constitution is as foolproof as possible. Key phrase being “as possible”.

The founders also knew that the system of government they built could be undermined, as evidenced by their own words after having created it.

Three quotes that come to mind which support this are:

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” - Jefferson

Jefferson had no reason to make such a statement if he believed that the constitution or the system it represents are, in of themselves, 100% foolproof.

Another was when a woman asked Ben Franklin “What kind of government have you given us?” shortly after the constitution was finished. He replied, “A republic, madam, if you can keep it.”

If you can keep it. The constitution in of itself is just a piece of paper with ideas written on it. Those ideas must be held tightly and guarded if that piece of paper is to have any weight.

And then finally, John Adams said “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

This one is fairly is self-explanatory. The further this nation has turned from God, the worse things have become. It is not a coincidence and he wasn’t wrong.

They did the best they could, but they knew the potential pitfalls even back then. You have to admit, they weren’t wrong. Those men knew human nature as well as anyone who ever lived.

In any case, the constitution isn’t the problem. It’s the people, the culture.

We bitch about politics..and rightly so. But as someone said “politics is downstream of culture.” The root of the problem isn’t politics, it’s the culture driving it. And the root of the sick culture is sick people. And the root of sick people is turning away from God.

The evidence is overwhelming. One just has to pay the slightest bit of attention to understand that only an extremely sick culture would elect the type of miscreants that currently occupy positions of power.

That’s not to discount voter fraud or anything like that, either. But realize, for voter fraud to get to the point where it’s so brazen and ubiquitous as it currently is, required steps to get to that point. And those steps were increasingly shitty and degenerate elected officials chosen by an increasingly shitty and degenerate people.
