The Dehuminizing of America

[First Speaker]

4. I honestly don't know what to do...

...and that's God's truth. One party respects the Constitution; the other essentially uses it for toilet paper. That's why I'm so leery with all the "read your Constitution!" posts here at DU, when people use the word "treason", say, for Trump and the GOP; or when they suggest ways of denying Trump the Presidency. We're living in a post-Constitutional age. The GOP realizes this, and the Dems, the party of suckers, doesn't. Too many people here at DU don't realize it. The Republican party sees it as a convenient vessel to get what it wants, when it's useful for them. Otherwise, they ignore it--certainly the spirit, and increasingly, the letter. The GOP wants a one-party plutocracy. They have no intention of permitting--ever--liberal, FDR-LBJ style governance. Our "democracy" is increasingly going to resemble the creeping authoritarianism of countries like Hungary, Poland, and--yes--Russia. And I haven't the slightest idea what to do about it.
