re: #27 Targetpractice

Yeah, it’s in the same ballpark as their fantasies about a “new constitutional convention” where they believe they’ll be able to come together and totally rewrite the constitution to reflect only their views. The reality that such a clusterfuck would likely result in a new document that would reflect the moneyed interests first and “the people” second is totally lost on them.

Something like that happened in the show Jericho. The new Allied States of America government that was implied to be very right wing and was putting out obvious right wing propaganda in history books (like we actually won the Vietnam War, and a bunch of stabbed in the back style myths, etc.) had a constitutional convention and ditched the entire Bill of Rights including the 2nd Amendment. The constitution was basically a wish list for the corporations rebuilding America and the main one was a thinly veiled Harliburton/Blackwater hybrid.
