these guys' outlandish ideas out there for people to read. There's been too much stuff going on in the background with these people of which we had no knowledge. I mean, I'd have NEVER dreamed there'd be a solid 1/3 of our country that wanted to shitcan Democracy! I knew they had authoritarian bents, but kill the country that birthed them? Nah... that was a surprise. Also a surprise was the extend to which Heritage Foundation wants to take the country via P2025. Were there hints? Yes... but I guess I'm either to naive or too innocent to believe people would actually be that cruel to their fellow citizens.
But I'm taking clues from what they're doing right now, and taking notes. One of the things we always got dinged on was our response to a "lack of tolerance" for their thoughts and beliefs. I have WAY fewer days ahead of me than behind me, but I'd like to see us take back our government to such a degree that we can not only undo what these magats have done, but completely do some of our own restructuring... which, for the sake of tolerance and cooperation we never pushed. Like changing the makeup of the SCOTUS. And rewriting the Constitution in language that is clear, concise, and not open to interpretation. I mean, keep the original, of course... but laws would be based on their plain language document. IOW, I would like to see a Constitutional Convention but *only* when we have back the government. Otherwise, we're going to have to find someplace else to live because the country won't be fit to live in if the Repugs rewrite it. I know that makes me as cynical and hard-assed as they are now. But I'm not going to play their wah-wah game any longer. We want a civil society that works for all. Religion and culture is personal... keep it to yourself if it can't be shared with grace. Meanwhile, restrain yourself and act like an adult to get along with other adults. Else, we'll help you find a country that shares your values. And that's where MY head is at now.
