  • i feel you, but i do not see any reason to think that any of these bad things are inextricably linked to the United States, i.e., the Constitution. To me, the core of the Constitution seems to be very compatible with Love, although the authors tried to cripple that message to suit incompatible interests, e.g., slavery.

    After reading some parts of the Constitution again, i was disappointed by the mention of “Aid and Comfort” until i realized that the Constitution indicates that treason implies “Aid and Comfort” or declaring war against the United States, not that said “Aid and Comfort” is necessarily treasonous, which would necessarily imply persecution of religions of unconditional Love; in being unconditional, after all, Love does not discriminate by affiliation or past actions.

    i do approve characterizing implementations of the United States as being afflicted with truly horrible things, though. This implementation has always had fascist-adjacent elements and, hell, has gone from being on the path to being the Mother of Exiles to just being the mama of all strays. But such hatred, such dehumanization is not aligned with the liberal spirit of the Constitution.

    i welcome any disagreement here, and you are free to ask for any clarification.
