Assault on our Founding Principles
So why is it me who seems divisive? The real question should be, why do I feel like the lone voice recognizing a direct assault on our foundational principles? Why does it seem I’m the only one perceiving the problems these theories within our own movement could exacerbate over time? The ideologies promoted by these theories are among the most un-American I’ve ever encountered. For instance:
- Commander-in-Chief Role Misinterpretation: The theory falsely separates the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief from their executive function, contravening the Constitution which clearly unifies these roles in the office of the presidency.
Erosion: This misconstruction undermines the constitutional structure of executive power and the checks and balances system. It degrades the trust that the constitution is adequate enough to rectify government overreach on his own so long as it’s reinforced by We The people.
- Continuity of Government Misrepresentation: By inaccurately claiming current application of COG protocols for political ends, the theory misrepresents emergency measures intended for national crises.
Erosion: This misrepresentation distorts the purpose of COG, eroding public understanding and trust in legitimate government continuity plans.
- Law of War Manual Misuse: Using the Law of War Manual to justify political theories misapplies a document intended for international military conduct, not domestic political maneuvering.
Erosion: This misuse leads to a misunderstanding of legal guidelines for warfare, confusing them with domestic governance. Promotes dictatorship, degrades the power We the People have and reinforces government solutions when it’s the same government that has over reached.
- War Powers Act Misapplication: Allegations that the War Powers Act was used for declaring war for personal or political objectives misconstrues its intent and legal boundaries.
Erosion: This misapplication undermines the legal framework for military engagement and presidential war powers. Declaring war on its own citizens, last time that happened many people died, and it was from our first Civil War. Trump avoided this.
- Erosion of Constitutional Remedies for Election Disputes: Claiming constitutional suspension in the context of election results negates the established legal pathways provided by the Constitution for resolving electoral disputes.
Erosion: This undermines the constitutional right to legal recourse and faith in the process of fixing our electoral process.
- Suppressing Counterarguments and Dissent: The behavior of belittling, degrading, and banning those who present factual counterarguments stifles free speech and open debate.
Erosion: This suppression contradicts the constitutional principle of freedom of speech and the marketplace of ideas.
- Narrative Control Excluding Rational Debate: Dominating discussions with unfounded theories while excluding factual perspectives creates a biased narrative.
Erosion: This undermines the constitutional principle of informed debate, essential for a healthy and functioning republic.
