dRac @d-rac.bsky.social · 17/09/2026To be clear - Gladstone was a moron. The US constitution is an appalling constitution, which has done untold damage to both the US and the wider world as a whole. Poorly written, vague, and missing huge chunks that are just left to "idk, figure it out". Trump exists because the con allows him to. 010
