Right-Wing Conservatives Agenda Includes Misinterpreting and Abusing the Constitution

A few months ago, the former grifter in chief and Florida retiree Trump announced that he wants to get rid of the Constitution.

Full stop. He publicly made known what people only suspected. He wants to throw away the greatest democratic achievement that our founders penned. The Constitution of the United States.

Of course, that suggestion immediately caught on with the MAGA crowd who were already busy subverting the government in every way possible.

Rural communities are the hotbeds for the MAGA minded who have been infiltrating city and county boards for years.

I have a good friend who lives in one of those traitorous breeding grounds, Shasta County, California. He's been following what going on in local government for years and his concern has grown stronger in the last couple of years.

MAGA elements have crept into town like snakes with the backing of conservative groups like the California Rifle and Pistol Association who are proposing a 2nd Amendment resolution at a meeting on Feb. 21st.

The group is backing MAGA moron Supervisor Jones's attempt to give power to County officials and employees to decide for themselves whether state and federal laws meet constitutional requirements.

What a blatant power grab. They want their own rules in a state that separates power among three branches of government - the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch.

The meeting could well end up as a circus as MAGA lovers like to cosplay in public meetings. It's one of their favorite tactics.

To show them the futility of their wayward effort a Shasta County legal counsel pointed out that a 2004 California Supreme Court ruling confirmed that public officials may not decide for themselves whether or not laws are constitutional.

Where I live in Oregon a group of local sheriffs said they don't have to enforce the new Gun safety ballot measure 114 that was passed last year because they decided it was unconstitutional.

Again, the courts ruled against them and now they have to enforce the new law or lose their jobs. It's this kind of rural MAGA opposition to our elected local and state governments that make these 2nd Amendment groups stand out like poison mushrooms.

As it stands, like it or not we're fully engaged in a domestic war for the soul of America.
