Cancel the Constitution?

   The latest challenge to history came with Donald Trump's suggestion that the Constitution be canceled so he could return to the presidency.
   Say what?
   Here's a copy of what he posted on the web a few days ago:
   
   "So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech companies, the DNC & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election results out and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?
   "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our 'Great Founder' did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!"

   This allegation that the nationwide election of 2020 was riddled with fraud is the latest bid by Trump to spread his anger and return to the White House. He does not indicate why the term "Great Founder" was capitalized and put in quotation marks. We are left to guess who he means.
   The problem, then, is that the message can be taken as a bid for his followers to prepare for another attempt to overturn the government and return him to office.
   To urge a "termination" of rules, even those in the Constitution, in a move to declare him the "rightful winner" of the election, borders on a call for a rebellion.
