RE: DEAR ANTI-TRUMP FRIENDS: We need to talk about your "resistance"
You had me 100% until you started bashing the Constitution. It may be
a piece of paper signed by a bunch of old white dudes 300 years ago
but that piece of paper is the foundation that our country is built upon.
That piece of paper is what makes it possible for you to be able to stand up and say the things that you say. It isn't perfect but it is better than what any other country has. What is happening in this country today isn't the fault of the constitution or the people that signed it.
What is happening in this country today is the people's fault. Although the majority of the people do not elect the president we did elect the politicians that helped put him into office so he could ignore our constitution and twist it for his own personal gain.
We elected people to Congress to run the government so we could live our lives but over the years the people we have elected have forgotten that they work for us. Now they think that we work for them. They cater to the demands of the 1% wealthy and big business and try to control the majority of the people. They make laws that go against our constitution that try to limit our rights and freedom and they tell us it is for our own good.
This year we have the opportunity to take back control of our government and show these politicians that we do not work for them and that they work for us.
This year all of the seats in the House of Representatives and 1/3 of Senate are up for re-election. What we need to do as Americans is put someone new in each of these seats and they shouldn't be democrats or republicans. They should be replaced with independence.
And after this is done we as a people need to keep a close eye on the newly elected and make our voices heard so that they don't forget that they work for us not the other way around.
"It isn't perfect but it is better than what any other country has." - oh my, what a typically ignorant comment, from, what I can assume is an north american citizen. The audacity, to say, that a country that has created so much conflict and turmoil in the world in the last hundred years, has the best recipe for society (after all, isn't that what constitution is), it laughable. Wonder, how many constitutions have you studied. Sorry, but that comment just struck a nerve, I apologize if it came little harsh. I am harsh :)
Hey, It's OK. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The point that I was trying to make is that the constitution didn't cause the problems the USA is now facing. The people ignored what was happening hoping it would all go away but it hasn't. And now it is time that we as a people take action.
