      I’ve been saying this for a long while. We need a new constitution at this point, and that is OK. The founders knew this, and also took time to point out that it will be ugly, just like it was for them. The shit show we have now is enough to make me lean into antinatalism, which is a stance I never could have imagined as a younger person.
