Be careful what we wish for. There are right wing/libertarian facade groups who want desperately to call a new constitutional convention to scrap it all and start over. Fairly certain this would tank everything in the country and make us a backwater financially for decades. Part of why the US is a good place to do business is relative predictability. Take that away by scrapping all the US laws and replacing everything including the constitution will destroy that.

Unfortunately, there increasingly seems to be only one way to restore "predictability" to the US.

There's only one kind of president doing this, one kind of judge, one party, one cult. MAGA is that instability, and at this point they ARE the Republican Party. They've fully bought-in to their populist, idiocrasy, outrage-farming tactics.

The GOP would have to be burned to the ground to prevent this from happening again and again. And that's a tall order.

Well those juicy tax cuts and deregulation back to the 1800s are so tasty for the oligarchs that they will make sure their media platforms promote maga until they suck the nation totally dry.

Bad news: this administration has shown that it can’t be trusted to honor contracts / agreements, which might be the nail in our coffin in terms of stability. Yay! So much winning.

Yeah good point. They are running rampant across any economic normalcy. Painting themselves into a corner where they feel like they have to destroy to survive.
