As I approach my 50th birthday, it really begins to hit home that it’s very possible that all signs point to me living in oblivion for the rest of my life. I will never get to become a smug Twitter liberal with a podcast who bounces back and forth between the coasts.
But, with that in mind, I have to point out that I called it when it comes to how MAGA through Ron DeSantis wants to use a Constitutional Convention to codify an American First, MAGA world view into our fundamental law. In short, the moment Trump – or DeSantis — is POTUS, we’re going to face the very real possibility that there will be a move to pass MAGA Enabling Acts.
I say this, despite the fact that all the Traditionalist in my family poo-poo this idea as ridiculous. But — a-HA — I’m right. But, really, I don’t want right, I want to change Traditionalists minds! But, lulz, that is never going to happen. In this era of hyper negative polarization, nothing matters.
There are macro trends that are taking place that we simply have no control over. Everything seems to been careening towards a massive clusterfuck in late 2024, early 2025 that who knows what the end result will be.
But I continue to believe that we have to take the idea of a Constitutional Convention at some point after 2025 seriously. It’s coming. The issue is, what are we going to do about it?
