The few remaining CNN viewers got an amazing story the past weekend. The document that gave birth to our nation is now so “outdated” it’s a “threat to democracy”. Former CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta interviewed two Harvard professors of government who think the Constitution is obsolete. It was slammed on social media. “Scholars” on CNN are paid to repeat the narrative.
The Constitution is an amazing document
True scholars would understand how and why it was written. The CNN chyrons show the doublespeak now common in media. The 2020 Kenosha, Wisconsin riots were labeled ”Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests”.
The chyron writers might not have much respect for the truth but in all fairness, there was a hair of truth to this one. Acosta spoke with the Harvard professors, Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt.
CNN "Scholars" are biased, irrelevant hacks willing to be paid to push the narrative that the Commie News Network wants. The word "Democracy" doesn't appear in the Constitution or Declaration of Independence for a reason. A true scholar would know this.

Constitution is a “threat”
While the professors argued there was a threat, there’s another side to that coin that wasn’t acknowledged. This “threat” was deliberately placed as a “feature” rather than a “bug”. It’s not an accident.
Levitsky and Ziblatt probably know about this. But there are a lot of people who don’t. The two authored “The Tyranny of the Minority”, a book aimed at the Constitution that attacks liberal’s most common targets of the Electoral College and the Senate.
Whenever you see/hear “democracy” referred to as if it is our form of government, it is a BIG RED FLAG that you are seeing a communist agenda. 99% of the time that type of reference silently refers to “Marxist democracy”, or an official government that has pure Democracy as its…

The Founders wrote the Constitution
So small populations would have an equal say in choosing their leaders. They saw where major population centers such as cities would try to over ride that. It’s how a president can be elected without the popularity vote.
That concept outrages the two professors but it’s a small price to pay so New York, California and other population centers aren’t the only decision makers. The central United States is often conservative. That section would get left out and would suffer the consequences of policies not designed for them. Scholars aren’t needed to understand that. As it stands, the Senate is where bills go to die. That’s as it should be. It keeps the country from having popular passions run off with it. The autonomy of the individual that we have here is what makes us great.
