That's because the originalism that spawned it is ahistorical garbage, 30.
Politely?
Non-issue.
Doubly so in a "Here And Now..." where you are going to have a seriously hard time finding even a plurality of American citizens that would say "Sure... Going by that whole 'Militia...' bit totally makes sense..."
Like it or not, most Americans are fine with the Rights being what they are. It is the good thing about them just as much as it is the bad thing about them.
Take "Freedom Of Speech..."
Folks are so fine with it that lots of them(potentially an actual plurality...) will extend that boundary to what is actually "Freedom Of Expression..." even though "Freedom Of Speech..." is actually fairly narrow as a concept.
In the last 6 months, 6 Conservative MPs have been arrested or left the party for sex based offenses. Boris Johnsons Tories are very much in a "John Major Speedrun"
Doug Mastriano, Far-Right Election Denier, Wins Pennsylvania Gubernatorial Primary
The Christian nationalist who was near the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The idea of this far right lunatic as governor of my state is downright frightening.

I wouldn't get to excited over Cawthorn's lose, the next guy I'm sure will vote in the exact same way, he'll just be quieter. Cawthorn, vile piece of garbage as he was, was the only Republican who's reprehensible behavior was enough to do some slight damage to his parties image, something that Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laura Boebert haven't even been able to accomplish.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Agreed, I just wish people would try to actually be reasonable rather than just coming in to shout and leave or continue to antagonize. Of course there's also the aspect of provoking a physical response that keeps people more polite in person.
I don't suspect many are evil, but I also have to consider that for every one that picks up a gun to mow down those that fit their targeted hate there are more who aren't brave enough to die for their bigotry but will do whatever they can get away with to make life worse for others. Elected officials making bigoted laws, cops who pull over anyone of color they can make an excuse for, all the way to folks who follow anyone with too much melanin in the store to prevent suspected thievery. Given the sheer amount of people in the country these relatively few have an outsized affect on the perception of them which I have been guilty of. However no one I've known who is willing to ignore reality shown to their face is willing to change their stance, as it would mean admitting what they were doing to themselves and whether consciously or not they can't admit to that.
Good response, but I'd suspect someone that has to post about it rather than just heading out isn't one who'd listen. You have to be able to admit the possibility that you are wrong in order to listen to a differing viewpoint and I try to always take that into consideration in my day to day life.
It is the Trumpist plan to get MAGA candidates elected as governor and secretary of state in as many "swing" States as possible, so that in 2024 those officials will refuse to certify winning slates of Democratic electors and will certify their own slates of Republican electors instead.

But Roberson’s campaign may be going “nuclear” with the primary election less than two weeks away, releasing a trove of documents that they allege show Smith is unfit to be the GOP nominee. The accusations include spousal abuse, bankruptcy, running scams, and owning a business that sells sexual clothing.
According to Roberson’s team, the information in the “Sandy Smith Exposed” file was going to be used as an “October surprise” by Democrats. They claim to be using it as a May surprise of sorts now in order to prevent a potential GOP nominee from being discredited in a way that would put an otherwise competitive seat out of reach.
