3. Constitutional Convention
Thu Feb 23, 2023, 11:11 AM
Feb 2023

Take over enough state legislatures via gerrymandering to force a Constitutional Convention. The enshrine Christianity, conservative “values”, no abortion or contraception, hard-line immigration policies, gun rights and Capitalism into the Constitution. They know their policies aren’t popular with the majority so this is their end around.

Freedom of press - Gone, criticizing Christianity will be illegal, blasphemy?
2nd Amendment - Gun ownership and open carry without restriction.
Freedom of religion - America is a Christian nation. Period.
LGBT rights - Forget it.
Social Security, Medicare, Assistance - Leave it to the churches. Work or die broke. Period.
Capitalism - Reduce regulations, open drilling everywhere, screw the environment.

I’m kind of glad I don’t have kids.
