From ‘Protect Democracy’ to ‘Purge the Constitution’ in 6 Months
From ‘Protect Democracy’ to ‘Purge the Constitution’ in 6 Months - Flopping Aces
The Times’ op-editors have been on an ironic roll this week. On Thursday, the Times ran this remarkable, high-minded piece, to help save bureaucracy. Sorry, I
floppingaces.net
Now, six months later, they want to throw it out and start over.
“There’s no ideal democracy out there in the world,” the author generously allowed. “But I think, it’s fair to say that our system is not really democratic, as much as it might purport to be one.”
It only took six months. Now, the author thinks America should delete half of Congress, demolish and rebuild the Supreme Court, and prune several branches from the Constitution, like lopping off the Electoral College. In other words, the hysterical screed was nothing new; just the usual regurgitated progressive talking points, but repackaged for post-pandemic audiences (with short memories) in intellectual-sounding word salad, and this time, under the banner of it’s not even a democracy anyways.
And what about that subheadline: the left can’t win without a new Constititution? They’re not even pretending it’s about making things fair or more democratic. It’s just about winning.

The two moronic authors of this banana-republic manifesto were no random Twitter trolls. They are two classic deep staters, with approved Ivy League credentials, who should know better. Steven Simon was described as holding “senior positions in the State Department and at the National Security Council.” And Jonathan Stevenson “served on the National Security Council staff during the Obama administration.”
The authors complained at length about Trump’s national guard deployments, especially in LA, casting them as terrifying encroachments of military force into domestic situations. Only at the op-ed’s tail end, and in passing, did they mention that the Ninth Circuit has upheld the legality of the President’s orders. Oh, that. Just never mind.
~Stop~
Citing treasonous former Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley as a military exemplar should have been instantly disqualifying. It is like complaining about OnlyFans and virtual prostitution, then waxing nostalgic for virtuous crime-fighting pioneers like Jack the Ripper. Not a good look.
Between the two op-eds, over a span of 48 hours, the Times promoted a soft call for a military coup, and pushed a piece seriously arguing that the Constitution and the U.S. Senate prevent the United States from achieving “real” democracy. To call these things bad ideas does violence to the notion that ideas can be bad.
The funniest part is that at the same time, the Times is complaining to anyone who’ll listen about Trump’s authoritarianism. But who, pray tell, is actually advocating for scrapping the Constitution and putting the military in charge?
Commentary:
In truth, Democrats are no longer the Democrats of yesteryear. They’ve completely been infiltrated and taken over by the CPUSA masked as Democrats for a Socialist America. Their aim is to shape America into their image of a Socialist Marxist Society. Just ask Zorhan Mamdani. Americans are now asking questions of the “Democrats” relating to their attitude against high crime, immigration, and the Dem’s willingness to accept Hamas terrorism and genocide over Israel.
Marxist know that they cannot take the U.S. by force but only from within.
Changing the Constitution in their favor is just one more step they would like to accomplish.
