From Earth-Bound Misfit:
This country is defined by our liberties, freedoms and civil rights. Without those, we are nothing more than a collection of assholes with the military and economic power to back up our assholishness. In effect, we’d be no different from being a more powerful variant of Putin’s Russia.
That Trump’s base would be so willing to trash our constitutional if Trump said so suggests that to them, the Constitution is a meaningless piece of paper.
