    What happens when there’s a setback that’s major enough to be considered potentially permanent - for instance, the recent election?

      The ability to make amendments to the Constitution ensures no change is actually permanent. If enough people come around on the subject, any change can be undone or revised.

      Unfortunately, the people who voted for those making the undesired change will likely never fully appreciate - or be in any significant way held accountable for - the damage done by their reckless choice in who they supported to run the country into the ground. Those who knew better, lost, and had their lives destroyed will likely never receive any recompense.

        Isn’t “the constitution” itself a “permanent change” though? At least while violently enforcable?

        A broken system will never amend itself.
