    You have the democratic ability to amend the Constitution. If they had the votes to get rid of religious freedom enshrined in the First Amendment, they could make the changes desired and move forward 100% legally.

    But they don’t have the votes and they never fucking will. Nobody wants to repeal the First Amendment. It would be political suicide.

    Instead they are advocating for willfully violating the Constitution (illegal), weaponizing the courts to destroy Constitutional precedent (technically legal, but definitely not “democracy in action”), and if they can’t get their way, overthrowing and replacing the government through violence (treason sedition).

      Yes. We’ll be ruled by a minority (Christian nationalists) because we think that downvoting on social media is sufficient participation in politics.
