      I feel like if controlling all three branches is enough to undo the whole constitution, it wasnt that good. If they wanted to prevent a tyrant, they shouldve thought to ask “what if that tyrant is popular”

        They did dude. What do you think the 2nd amendment is for.

        Also, you say that like controlling all 3 branches is a small thing. It means you control the whole government…

          The weakness with the Second Amendment is that it effectively relies on a minority winning if it gets to that point. I hope I don’t have to point out that wars that come down to numbers rarely end well

            If the majority supports tyranny, were fucked anyways. Do you not understand that?

        I mean… A popular tyrant will win no matter the political system, because who’s gonna do anything about them?
