The à la Carte Constitution

Let's just say you want to make things up and get your way. From a marketing perspective it's a hard sell. Your vision involves screwing most people. Rebrand! 

Now, the authority you claim must be such that you don't have to answer questions. Because there are no answers. What are you going to say? That you want all the power?

That you will destroy everything and everyone to get your way? No. That won't work. So you claim primordial authority. You're not some slob. You're a prophet.

The ancient, revered texts can only be construed through you. You hope people don't catch on before you have it locked in. They will want to kill you if they catch on.

They will want to kill you. Because it's a scam. It's a lie. 

And it's how America works. Rich fucks and religious zealots who believe they were chosen. Cynics. Fatalists. Authoritarians. They don't care how many people die. 

They must get their way.
