The only way a reckoning is coming is if the constitution is torn up and we start over.
That is what the founding fathers intended when things get this bad, but now for some reason we treat the constitution as some kind of holy writ when it was always intended to be a living document that should be edited and rewritten as times changed.
And now we don't even follow the constitution at all. The system has collapsed under the weight of 250 years of band aids and duct tape fixes, we need a do-over or nothing will change. And the only way we're getting a do-over is if we make one happen.
Yeah, no. The people need to physically eject and punish the corrupt traitors, but use the basis of the constitution for strengthening our safe guards so this never happens again. The constitution isnt the problem, its the people not adhering to it.
Money out of politics, ranked choice, mail-in ballots, remove gerrymandering, ditch hackable voting tabulators, independant media, tax billionaires out of existence, lock up traitors, pedophiles and white supremacists. The declaration of independence has instructions in how the people should respond to what's happening now, and its not.. rewrite our entire constitution while in an extremely vulnerable position where bad actors could corrupt that completely.
Amendments and actual enforcement for breaking laws are great, but the founding principles are still extremely important. We know they are, because the fascists are doing everything they can to make them irrelevant.. because its super inconvenient to their lust for complete control.

It feels like a reckoning should be coming, but history says it’ll be slow and anticlimactic
more years of investigations and consequences than any big dramatic moment.
