Brian ClapperThey're not "saying the quiet part out loud". They're confident enough now that there no longer *is* a quiet part.
SLCW💥@bmc Why TF would we want our public library system to run by the fuckin' church? Have any of these people even heard of the Constitution?
@slcw They only care about the very small part of the Constitution they didn't actually read but have heard about, kind of. For example, the Second Amendment. As for the rest of it? Well, it's only useful insofar as it can serve to bludgeon the people they don't like.
@bmc I actually think they do care about the Constitution, but only insofar as it applies to them. If you're not a mean-spirited, white, heterosexual, Christian nationalist, they don't think the Constitution applies to you.
@slcw I still maintain that a surprisingly large number of them don't really know what most of the Constitution says. Ask them about the 6th (or 7th or 8th) Amendments, for instance. Ask them about the 3rd Amendment — and, importantly, why it exists.
They. Don't. Know.
