If you’re Mitch McConnell, the American political system is working just fine, thank you. The electoral system is biased against the left, and the filibuster prevents them from getting any sweeping social legislation through the Senate, but tax cuts for business can be approved through reconciliation. There’s no need to blow anything up. Life is good.
But if you’re a reactionary, life is about to get a lot more frustrating. Sure, on paper, you might be able to ditch the filibuster to get a national abortion ban approved, but your larger objectives of permanently transferring power to white Christians and shutting up the woke left are going to run into trouble with the judiciary immediately. How are you going to impose Christian values on the country without getting rid of the First Amendment and forcing regime change on blue states? It can’t be done under the current system.
You need to scrap the Constitution–at least, the longstanding interpretations of it– and start from scratch. How can you get there? It will take a ruthless, single-minded reactionary as president and something he can plausibly call an emergency. You can probably rely on the Supreme Court, the military, and your militias to take care of the rest.
