I may be dead before this actually happens, but a lot of you might not be...sleep at your own peril. We are so willfully ignorant. Times like this I'm so grateful my dad never lived to see this period of history.
Everything the Republican voter base claims to hate - "Big money", the "establishment," the "corrupt elites" and "main stream media," it's conservative-controlled all the way, end-to-end.
The more it's pointed out, the more chances of eyes opening
That's what they've been working towards very intentionally for decades. Remember Alito saying there's no compromise and one side will win? They have the opportunity now and I believe they will take it.
The Right wants a Constitutional Convention so that they can once and for all destroy it, eliminating various amendments and fashioning it to reflect their White Christofascist beliefs. They want to cement it in, permanently.
It's so weird to come out the gate with this because I follow maga pretty closely, I'm on their boards all the time, and birthright citizenship is not some obsession of theirs, it's not top 5 of the things they complain about
I'm nowhere near as confident as some that when "birthright" reaches a 6-3 SCOTUS, Trump fails. Roberts is the only Con who MIGHT vote his conscience. The other 5 don't have one. The "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" excuse is already being widely circulated. https://americanmind.org/salvo/birthright-citizenship-game-on/
👉 My friend @snoozyq.bsky.social has been working hard to make people aware of this for years! This is not new!
😱 But with their scary AI technology combined with the old standby voter suppression tactics (follow @gregpalast.bsky.social), maybe they will pull this off now!
Oh Ali, just the thought of it gives me cold chills! People don't realize a Constitutional Convention would be the literal end of Amerca!! I mean do we trust any of these gop yahoo's to rewrite our constitution???

This is why I have argued against a Constitutional Convention for years. The Rethuglicans would control it and transform the country into Trumpistan permanently and irrevocably.
Sadly, it looks as though they may succeed simply by seizing power and ignoring the Constitution and the law.
I'm sure it's all a coincidence. Kinda like when musk gives a nazi salute (twice) after platforming/repeatedly endorsing the neo-nazi candidate in Germany.

But if it did, you all better finally be ready to stand up and do something.
The right have gone full fascist and the rich are bank rolling them.
It’s time to fight or die.

We should let them keep the name USA as a parting gift.
When people show you who they are, believe them.
