Trump is demonstrating how outrageously foolish we have been as a country, to have never done another constitutional convention. The Founders would be horrified to see what fresh hell we have wrought with our ongoing maintenance of the post-civil-war status quo. Under our 18th century constitution, the 21st century administrative state had to be placed under the president, but the modern federal government has created a king in everything but name only. Power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the chaos monkey that’s destroying the government from within controls the world’s biggest guns too. The founders were wise for their time, but ffs, they were slavers who wanted a government so small, it didn’t even have a standing army. They envisioned something akin to the EU, not a singular nation-state superpower. For that matter, our constitution is so ancient, it even predates the modern idea of a nation state. We had a lot of warnings of what a dangerous game we were playing: Nixon, Reagan, and Dubya were tyrants too. Yet we did nothing. Trump isn’t the president we need, but he’s the president we deserve.
