πŸ”· Trump vowed to end birthright citizenship β€œon day one.” That violates the 14th Amendment and weaponizes citizenship against the poor and brown. πŸ‘‰ https://endfascism.xyz

And people voted for it knowing it was in the constitution. Hatred trumps knowledge.

Exactly β€” people voted for it knowing the Constitution protects birthright citizenship. Hatred trumps knowledge. But do most citizens even know the Constitution anymore, or just how to take and pass a standardized test? That ignorance is its own weapon.

No, people do not know the constitution or the rights it protects. People don't even realize why they have rights.

Exactly β€” most don’t know the Constitution, or why rights even exist. They treat them like perks instead of protections. That ignorance is how fascists win β€” by convincing people their rights are optional, not inalienable.
