We need to promote a continental convention to make some constitutional amendments:

  • National Voter ID
  • Term limits
  • make insider trading illegal for public officials
  • cement 9 Supreme Court justices
  • define natural born citizens (to eliminate anchor babies)
  • define that only legal citizens are counted for electors and representatives
  • establish limits to emergency powers
  • establish personhood/life begins at conception
  • freeze the federal government budget (ie no more increases) until the entire federal debt is paid

What else am I forgetting?

2A is near the top for me.

My only major worry about a constitutional convention, is that it would give the Dems a legitimate shot at trampling the 1st and 2nd.

The 1st under demanding "hate speech" laws, and the 2nd under "guns are bad, mm'kay.".

As it is, they'll never get 38 states to ratify changes the old fashioned way

Yup, look at what big tech and media have been up to. Imagin how hard theyd push if they had a chance to really fuck us.

Changing the law will change behavior. Getting rid of abortion will help women become more mindful about who they have sex with. Getting rid of welfare increases after one child would do the same.

You’ll have to actually earn a woman’s trust before she allows you to sleep with her. Sex will actually have a meaning again. Thot’s will forever be gone. Being a slut will no longer be glorified. Neither will being a Tinder obsessed, hit and quitter.

It will have more positive impact on the well being of society than pretty much any piece of legislation in the last century.

Getting rid of abortions would destroy us on demographics.

Then the communists out breed us, vote in communists.

And abortions become legal again (or possibly mandatory). Yeah, it doesn't work.

Ends don’t justify the means. Destroying a life is never an acceptable means

So there should never have been any targeting of cities in World War II, then.

this is a good point. I would support keeping abortion but having a hard limit of how many months in you can do that, and the only exceptions to be cases where the baby is found to have severe disabilities.

meanwhile, revamp school to become family centric - bring back workshop classes, cooking classes, institute personal finance education with tutorials on how to file taxes for a person and for a small business. Gym in later classes should be expanded to have health information that should cover basics of how to take care of babies. (to remove 'fear of the unknown' factor for kids who grow up never seeing any adults around them doing it, which is quite common)

Define the digital public square and expand the right to free speech. Perhaps also define and declare the right to listen to anything you want to.
