A lot of stuff would be different. Like, there wouldn't be an electoral college. (Only a handful of countries, mainly autocracies in the developing world, do.)
There probably wouldn't be a Second Amendment; if there were, it would certainly be limited to the right to own pistols and hunting weapons. And the vast majority of gun owners believe in regulations like background checks.
Does anyone believe we would choose the two-party duopoly over the multiparty parliamentary model embraced by most of the world's representative democracies? |

In other words, "If the Constitution were written today by those of us who hate the Constitution and love European governments, we'd enact a Constitution just like theirs and unlike ours".
As if that is any great news to anybody. |

This is so full of lies it's UNBELIEVABLE! China building infrastructure...BETTER?! Except that it collapses because it isn't even SECOND rate, and whole towns get built to waste away since no one moves there....the air in populated industrial cities is unbreathable....and so forth.
This author simply hates America...that's all. It IS as simple as that! |

This guy is so smart he's stupid.
If there were a revolution in this country, the winners would be us gun-totin', Bible clingin' Judeo/Christian fanatics, and we would roll the OS back to a restore point from the '20s, well before Wilson.
Then, from that starting point, we'd rebuild our society, taking great care to keep the lefties in the fringes and out of power permanently. That, or send them over to the EU, who I'm sure would welcome them with open arms!
But WE'RE the "tough guys", and WE'D win, so his treatise is an academic pipe dream. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
