Can anyone tell me what happens to a country that 100% stops giving a shit about its founding document that was adopted to give average citizens rights and political power?

Because this country doesn't give a fuuuuuuuuuck about its Constitution anymore and that's the precedent now. And all the bad actors out there with enough money to run presidential campaigns know it.

They seem to be trying to emulate Russia, Hungary, or even Nazi Germany. So probably similar things. The US tech oligarchs seem to want something like Dark Enlightenment, while the other politically powerful sect seems to want christo-fascism; all seem to be white nationalist to varying degrees.

I think there are plenty of people that give a fuck about the constitution, but we need to really start thinking about what makes a country. Is it the people or an executive cabinet?

I am about 90% sure the heritage foundation has had this planned since the 80s, and used Post Soviet Russia as a test run. Here is more information about why I believe that if you're interested

It's a question of who really wants us to become an officially privatized corporation? Even if we have no say in that, we should ask why we are being treated as consumers of their product?

They seem to have no plans to stop taxing poor people, so either we stop paying federal and state taxes and only invest in our local communities, or we start acting like angry shareholders fed up with how the board is running the company.
