Democrats have long hated constitutional limits on their will-to-power, and have actively tried to circumvent it at least as far back as Franklin D. Roosevelt’s court-packing scheme in 1937. Their active opposition to the Second Amendment, a barrier to their unwavering goal of complete civilian disarmament, is long established. But while Democrats have long hated the strictures of the Constitution, they were previously too circumspect to just come out and say they wanted to do away with it. In their panic at the specter of Orange Man Bad winning yet again, they’ve started saying the quiet part out loud about wanting to dismantle all the constitutional checks and balances that stand in their way.
“Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer [disinformation] out of existence. What we need is to win…the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change,” Kerry said.
Kerry noted, “It’s very hard to govern today.”
Just the way the founders intended.
Minnesota governor Tim Walz on Tuesday reiterated his support for abolishing the Electoral College and switching to a national popular vote as the sole means of electing presidents and their running mates.
While campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris on the West Coast, Walz suggested at two different fundraisers that he would prefer to focus on winning votes across the country rather than concentrate on key battleground states that could sway the upcoming presidential election as they have done in the past.
“I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go. We need, we need national popular vote, but that’s not the world we live in,” the Democratic vice-presidential nominee told donors in California governor Gavin Newsom’s Sacramento home. “So we need to win Beaver County, Pennsylvania. We need to be able to go into York, Pennsylvania, win. We need to be in western Wisconsin and win. We need to be in Reno, Nevada, and win.”
You can almost feel Walz’s palpable disdain at the necessity of him having to mingle with those rural losers in flyover country.
To be fair, the disdain Democrats feel for the electoral college blocking their path to power is one Democrats have been expressing at least as far back as the 2000 Bush-Gore presidential race. “How dare an outrageously successful 200-year old blueprint for running a nation stand between me and absolute power!”
The Democratic Party’s naked contempt for the Constitution’s checks and balances is another reason voters should remove their hands from the levers of federal power. And their opposition to obeying the Constitution demonstrates, yet again, that they’re a far greater, and graver, danger to the republic than Donald Trump ever could be.

The root of the Democrats’ problems with the Constitution is centered on, the Constitution was written to keep anyone from stealing the power that the Dem’s want. Note that if they had an absolute majority, they wouldn’t need to negate the Constitution; they could simple walk right past it and do what they wanted to. It’s when you’re in the ‘teeter zone’ that the speedbump exists.
Not just dismantle. They hate it. If you don’t hate it like they do, they hate you too.
A bunch of Hezbollah/Hamas supporters at the University of Michigan were trying to stop student fees from funding student activities until the University of Michigan divested from Israel. (The University refused to do so,) The rest of the student body forced a vote in the student government to overturn the freeze on funding and finally succeeded in do so.
What did the Hamas nimrods do? Started a massive protest in the student government meeting chanting “This is not democracy.” After being outvoted in a democratic process. To these idiots “democracy” means do what I say.
Lawrence – on a somewhat related topic, I just saw a YT video claiming that the TX SOS has issued instructions that TDLs issued to non-citizens are to be accepted as valid voter ID. Please tell me that is bull.
And some wonder why I call them DemCong.
The Democrats are floating a plan to expand the U.S. Supreme Court to 25 justices as soon as they control both the Presidency and the Senate. This is why they plan to end the Senate filibuster.
Dismantle the Constitution and you dismantle the country. It’s a breach of the social contract and makes all allegiances null and void. FAFO.
Same goes for failure to install election security measures. Any state that fails to require proof of citizenship needs to have their electoral college votes discounted.
[…] THEY’RE JUST MORE OPEN ABOUT IT NOW: Democrats Want To Dismantle The Constitution. […]
Leftards have been tyrants since at LEAST the French revolution, and their goal is always to enslave the masses for the benefit of the narcissistic scumbags who fancy themselves our ‘betters’ who deserve to be our rulers.
The same mental insanity that justifies women murdering their children in the womb to claim ‘equality’ with men…that denies the inherent biologic differences between men and women and celebrates the hormonal poisoning and surgical butchery of mentally confused patients clearly not in sync with reality…that believes bringing in millions of illegal invaders from third world poverty conditions is somehow a ‘strength’…that taxes should be raised to pay hundreds of billions to defend the borders of Ukraine and Israel but not a penny should ever be spent to protect our own borders….this is the madness of the evil left.
I swore my oath to the Constitution. Uphold, protect, and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
The “Democrats” (socialist/communists/fascists), also known as the collectivist-statist-authoritarians, have been attempting to destroy the US Constitution for almost as long as they’ve been around. Their complete support for slavery from the early 1800’s until today has been unwavering, from black chattel slavery through segregation and Jim Crow laws right up to the destruction of black families through “welfare” programs and the “Great Society”.
They’ve been altering the Constitution for more than 100 years in order to meet their goals. First with the 16th Amendment, rammed through by the “progressive” (for which read regressive) Wilson, ratified in 1913 in order to fund his push for the US entry into WWI, which eliminated the need for federal taxes, paid by the state, to adhere to the enumeration of the census, and gave us the horrific over-funding of the government through the mechanism of the federal income tax.
Later that same terrible year of 1913 came the roots of destruction of the federal system itself by mandating direct election of US Senators. Previously the passions of the mob had been somewhat calmed by the fact that the states used their state legislatures to elect US Senators. Were we to go back to that system today we’d be looking at a totally different balance of power between the Rep-wing and the Dem-wing of the UniParty.
Their current attempts to dismantle the Republic are simply the logical extensions of their previous work.
The view that the Constitution is an obstacle dates back to Woodrow Wilson. He wrote that the Constitution was obsolete for (then) modern times and that there should be no check on government administration. According to Wilson, checks and balances made the government inefficient and ineffective.
The above doesn’t go nearly far enough. There is not one of the Bill or Rights the left doesn’t want to alter, and then pad it with lots of “positive rights”. They want to reduce federalism, remove the Electoral College, increase the power of the presidency, reduce rights to speech, religion, arms, fair trials, etc.
They want what the left everywhere has always wanted, to alter the rules so that they have absolute power.
They would prefer that we have a typical European parlimentary proportional representation system.
Today’s Democrats are why the Founders wanted the federal government to have trivial powers outside national defense and delivering mail.
They want a counter-revolution to return to the days of the Divine Right of Monarchs, with themselves as the monarchs. They are power freaks before they are socialists. Power to make all our decisions for us, power to pour wealth into their own pockets. Power and Submission. Our submission.
You left out ex-Senator and losing presidential candidate Hillary Clinton:
“…if the platforms, whether it’s Facebook or Twitter or X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don’t moderate and monitor the content we lose total control…”
They hate the First Amendment perhaps more than they hate the Second.
“I just saw a YT video claiming that the TX SOS has issued instructions that TDLs issued to non-citizens are to be accepted as valid voter ID. Please tell me that is bull.”
No. It is horrifyingly real. The mask has been dropped. It’s war.

If they centralize the power, it’s easier for them to take over and suborn. It’s that simple. That’s also why they want to do away with the whole Electoral College…
Also, note how the Democrats running all the major corporations are cracking down on “work at home”; they really don’t want you out mixed with the red-state scum, they want you imprisoned in their blue enclave cities…
Leftists, Marxist and democrats are behind the Convention of States to Amend the Constitution. Their real agenda is to replace the Constitution with one more favorable to Communist ideals.
