Compare with the original, from a few weeks back
Half of section 8, governing Congressional power over the military is removed.
Section 9 had, among other things:
- Habeas Corpus the right to get a court hearing instead of arbitrary imprisonment
- a ban on foreign emoluments for the US officials (eg: payments from foreign governments)
Section 10 reserved foreign policy for the federal government instead of the states.
If fascists didn’t make up the (near-) majority of politically active citizens like you’re insinuating, then maybe your institutions wouldn’t have immediately crumpled like wet paper.
The rule of law is literally dead in the US. Trump’s team has repeatedly brazenly broken the constitution and showed that no-one is willing to stop him. It literally couldn’t matter any less what the constitution says, because the opposition is too chickenshit to do even the bare minimum to defend it, because there is no meaningful popular support for active pro-democratic action in the US and that’s a hard fact.
Overwhelming popular apathy is Putin and Xinping’s key to power, and Americans are even worse because these inbred morons really unironically thought that the second amendment was meant to prevent tyranny.
