    Lots of US people will explain to you that the constitution and its amendments are immutable. And when you ask them to repeat that slowly, they’ll just say it louder because you’re the slow one.

      This is so fucking infuriating, too. I’ve had family say that the constitution cannot and should not be changed for any reason because it’s what the country was founded on.

      I only have so many crayons to pull out and most of them are broken nubs.

      Literally no one thinks that. It’s immutable, without more amendments. The point is you can’t just ignore what you don’t like

        I’m trying to figure out what the heck you’re saying. You think that no one thinks this is true:

        the constitution and its amendments are immutable.

        I guarantee you double your money back that there are people who think this. They don’t know what an amendment is, or the verb “to amend”. They just know there’s at least 2 of them and they can only be changed by god.
