I have a hearing impairment and I do not listen to Internet rants - particularly Youtube.   I've done a little searching and from what I can tell the RAP wants to revert back to the original constitution and laws of 1776 - 1860.  With that in mind - here's just a few questions that come up for me:

1.  The restoration of slavery and the abolishment the voting rights of black people is one thing that would get us back there.  I'm sure that RAP favors that.

2.  The Nineteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution was not made until 1920.  It was less than one hundred years ago that women were given the right to vote.  I'm assuming RAP wishes to abolish a woman's right to vote as well.

3.  Once slavery was abolished (after the bloodiest ware in U. S. history), blacks were segregated and still not given the freedom to vote and that wasn't changed until a little over forty years ago.  Suspect that RAP wishes to reinstate some form of segregation and the denial of voting rights for blacks too.

4.  In 1776 we had open borders with no restrictions on immigration.  Does RAP want to restore that?

5.  Until WWII the United States was not a major global power.  We would save billions, perhaps trillions of dollars by trimming our defense budget thereby lowering taxes for everyone.  Does RAP support that?

6.  In 1776 citizens only owned muzzle loading, single shot rifles and pistols.  I'd love to see us revert to that.  Is RAP in agreement?

7.  Of course the era they wish to return too didn't have computers, television, not even rail or automobiles.  Does RAP desire to have us live like the hard working Mennonites do?

People who wish to return to some former time usually have no idea what they're talking about.  I love the progress that we've made in the USA and I love watching those who don't agree with progress go absolutely nuts!  There will be a lot more civil unrest, marches, riots, arson, murders, the whole works - all trying to stop progress, by people who don't believe in the ballot box. Good luck, it isn't going to happen.
