This is rhetorical sleight of hand.

There is no physical force in the universe that causes words written on a government letterhead to mean anything. The exact same government that granted you "inalienable rights" will ignore them when it's corrupted.

There is no way to construct a government such that it CANNOT execute a minority if enough people want that to happen.

The only answer, as it has always been, is to ceaselessly, diligently, and without fail, never vote in people like Trump.

Unfortunately, the republican party has spent every single moment since Nixon's resignation ensuring that the party would never let that kind of thing stop them again.

Checks and balances, multiple branches aligned along different timescales, and mandatory minimum change periods. E.g. the states that require consitutional amendments to be voted for in two consecutive elections

And all of that buttressed by belief in institutions and the consistency that effects.

It takes time to change people's minds.
