Description

Obviously the constitution has many amendments, so I would like to focus on the 1st and 2nd amendments. Firstly on why Leftist hate the first amendment. Leftist seem to hate the fact that other Americans can have different views than them, and constantly try to shut down the opposition. For example, a recent event occurred where 20 Antifa members held a protest outside of Republican TV reporter Tucker Carlson's house. They said remarks such as "we know where you sleep at night" and broke his front door. They did this as a protest against his Republican views (which they constantly refer to as "hate speech") and believe this was the correct way to try and oppress opposing views. This was a sad attempt of Leftist trying to play the victim as usual, but it turns out this time they were the criminals. Leftist will not tolerate the so called bigoted Republican view, but will impose violence as a way to make the other side concur with them, fascism at it's finest. Secondly, why Leftist hate the 2nd Amendment. Leftist want guns to be banned in America but have never even held a gun. They think as if guns are only used for sport and for self defense, but they're missing the biggest point of the 2nd amendment. The main purpose that Americans are allowed to bear arms is in case of government tyranny against the citizens, in which case the citizens will be able to have a fighting chance against the government unlike WW2 Nazi Germany and many other cases. Overall, Leftist have poor education on the constitution and insist that the only way America can reach greatness is to change the constitution which allowed America to become the greatest country of all time.

All people on the left don't hate the Constitution. This is the problem with making a particular side a monolith. We all fall on a spectrum and saying everyone on one side agrees on something is ridiculous. Also based on your resolution, you have to argue that people on the left hate the Constitution in it's entirety, which is just wrong. I happen to quite like the 14th amendment of the Constitution for example. Also using criminal elements  who happen to fall on a particular side of the political spectrum does not allow you to make assumptions about the vast majority of people who fall on that side of the spectrum who aren't violent. Hopefully in the next round you can post an actual argument and this debate can actually start.
