The framers had lots of protections for a lot of things but apparently not a single one of them accounted for a coordinated take over of the majority of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches by a group of people willing to wipe their asses with the constitution.
They actually did. There’s the secret 0th amendment that states if there’s a coordinated takeover of the executive, judicial, and legislative branches, the 4th secret branch it created, were supposed to to press the emergency STOP button and blow up the white house, congress and the supreme court.
Sadly the 4th branch was so secret and there wasn’t any good plan to keep it’s secret self alive, it died off within the generation as the whole idea seemed unfucking conceivable.
I do long for a general reset button.
Unfortunately, I think that 4th branch is supposed to be the people.
Tbf, they also received a lot of help from the French, who know a thing or two about getting rid of aristocrats.
Yeah, who needs robust fail-safes when you’ve got a warehouse full of guillotines ready to go.
So who’s gonna do it, the Democrats that were trying to out Republican Republicans?
