A couple of days ago, the NY Slimes published a guest essay yearning for the U.S. military to execute a coup against the duly elected Trump Administration. Now, it is publishing an opinion piece that advocates for the U.S. Senate to be abolished, the Electoral College be ended, the Supreme Court be packed with activist hacks, and the U.S. Constitution be thrown out in favor of pure democracy.
Why? Because the Left cannot win without a "new constitution." Insurrection anyone?
The Left (i.e., the Democrat Party) desperately wants our constitutional republic scrapped in favor of a pure democracy - you know ... the system where two wolves and one sheep have equal votes on whether to have lamb for dinner, tonight. They want NO government restrictions whatsoever and majority rule decides all. However, it is terribly ironic that their supposed thirst for pure democracy is nothing but a disingenuous mechanism to institute Marxism that will quickly morph into dictatorial Communism.
Seems INSURRECTION-Y to Us! New York Times Says the Left Can't Win Unless We Abolish Our Constitution

The New York Times is really letting the mask slip. In the last 48 hours, they've run not one but two op-eds basically calling for insurrection.
On Wednesday, they were disappointed that the military didn't stage a coup against President Trump, and we told about that here.
Now they're back, this time calling for the abolishing of pretty much every part of our constitutional republic:
Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) ~ New York Times now just openly calling to overthrow the government. Sounds insurrectiony.
Here's some of the transcript:
Nwanevu: A democracy is a system in which the governed govern. You can read a lot of political theory, you can read the classics — I don’t think you get a definition that is more succinct than that. Another formulation is Lincoln’s government “of, by, and for the people.”
And so, in a democracy, the people themselves are the people who govern. It’s not entrusted as a responsibility to some alien authority, some external power, some other hierarchy. People take on the responsibility and burden and promise of governing themselves. That’s the core idea.
Douthat: And how do you know that America in 2025 is not by the people and for the people, that the governed are not actually governing?
Nwanevu: So I think there are three characteristics of any democratic system. The first is political equality. People are equal in standing when they come to make a collective choice. So when it comes to the Senate, for instance, we have one of the most malapportioned upper houses in the world. I think only Argentina and Brazil, among our peers, are more malapportioned than ours.
The second characteristic is responsiveness. There’s real authority among the public — when they come together to make a collective choice, things happen. And the last thing I would say is majority rule. But I think, as I write, in very, very basic ways, our system flouts all three of these things.
Caleb Wayne (@PrairieStateGOP) ~ That’s just a headline advertising for Ross Douthat’s recent podcast with guest Osita Nwanevu. It’s not a NYT editorial.
But it's something the New York Times published, and something an academic thinks.
Seems newsworthy, no?
Bill DeWahl (@CostanzasATMpin) ~ Here's a CRAZY idea, Democrats. If you abandon the fringe far left side of politics and come up with policies that actually help Americans, you might actually get some votes. Who am I kidding, it's like speaking to a wall.
That's not fair.
The wall serves a purpose.
(((Aaron Walker))) (@AaronWorthing) ~ The New York Times hopefully reminding us why we have the Second Amendment. They are calling for nothing less than the complete abolition of the Constitution because they are whiny cry babies who keep losing.
Never give up your guns.
man.from.a.c.r.o.n.y.m (@acronym_man) ~ They wished for a military coup. Now, they are calling to abolish the government. When do they become traitors and treasonous insurrectionists rather than "a publishing concern?"
Remember when insurrection was bad?
James Jay Carafano (@JJCarafano) ~ It’s funny how the Left's strategy is anything but appealing to everyday voters with common sense policies.
Really funny.
It explains why Democratic Party approval and favorability are both under water, too.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
