Our politicians are too comfy, and are more invested in preserving the traditional power structures than they are in advancing the citizenry.
If our constitution falls to pieces, whatever gets preserved in a rebuilding will be more racist and more fascist. Corporations will be entirely protected. Body cameras on law enforcement will be abolished and police given complete immunity. the minimum wage will be abolished. No laws will be valid until a new constitution is ratified. Until then law and order will be purely by force and extrajudicial punishment or tribunals in makeshift proceedings.
The voters are feeling either attacked or abandoned. Every dem congressperson should be engaged daily. That has never been true. It is still not true, even now.
We are fucked, more so than we realize. Dems don't have the voters engaged, because the Dems are lazy, and would rather cut bipartisan deals with racists and fascists. That is not a way to generate enthusiasm.
The GOPs have been at it since Lee Atwater and Nixon, which got a huge head start given everything that came before in America The Home of the Free and the Brave (white people...sort of)
