History has shown that the US does not hold anyone in power accountable. Sometimes we pretend to do so by punishing lackeys like Oliver North instead of presidents and politicians who make the decisions to do horribletand illegal things.

SCOTUS knew Trump was going to do this Project 2025 shit, which is why they said the president is above the law and forced Trump on Colorado's ballot to legitimize an insurrectionist running for office.

    I'm not convinced that the US constitution/government will outlive me, at this point.

    It wouldn't be the US government (at least not the as we know it) holding people accountable in my imaginary scenario.

    My loyalty is to the spirit of the Constitution, not to a king. I might end up serving as a soldier against the crown.

    I don't care about the document. If anything I'd say it's fatally flawed in a couple key ways. Not as bad the OG articles of confederation, but pretty bad.

    What I care about is making a government that actually serves the majority of the people and represents their interests against the disproportionately powerful
