Let’s not forget . . . At least one founder understood —-
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

Unfortunately, there is a calamitous flaw in the US constitution.
The Constitution is simply a piece of parchment written a few hundred years ago. It really isn’t anything more than that. Many other countries including Canada, Mexico, Liberia, Guatemala, and others adopted the exact same or almost the same Constitution. Look where they are now
The Constitution is written on the hearts of the people who make up the country. It will take on a life of its own from there and go whichever direction it needs to, the dusty document has no power in of itself if the people don’t adhere to it.
The original Constitution does not work with mass immigration, universal suffrage, women voting, welfare recipients voting, etc.

There is no magic bullet. The Constitution—no constitution—will work when political culture reaches a certain anti-freedom tipping point.
The anti freedom tipping point is when the majority of the populace wants a government monstrosity to provide for their basic needs.....we're getting close and as AI, automation and robotics displace more and more people from their jobs the tipping point will likely occur.

Bingo
But allow me to focus it down a little bit.
All of it started in 1919 with the 19th Amendment giving females the Right to Vote. Everything else that you listed is the result of that one major mistake.
quote:
The 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed by the Senate on June 4, 1919, with a vote of 56 in favor and 25 opposed. The senators who voted in favor were 36 Republicans and 20 Democrats. The Republican senators who voted in favor included Capper, Cummins, Curtis, Edge, Elkins, Fall, Fernald, France, Frelinghuysen, Gronna, Hale, Harding, Johnson (Cal.), Jones (Wash.), Kellogg, Kenyon, Kayes, La Follette, Lenroot, McCormick, McCumber, McNaty, Nelson, New, Newberry, Norris, Page, Phipps, Poindexter, Sherman, Smoot, Spencer, Sterling, Sutherland, Warren, and Watson. The Democratic senators who voted in favor were Ashurst, Chamberlain, Culberson, Harris, Henderson, Jones (N. M.), Kenrick, Kirby, McKellar, Myers, Nugent, Phelan, Pittman, Ransdell, Shepard, Smith (Ariz.), Stanley, Thomas, Walsh (Mass.), and Walsh (Mon.). The House of Representatives had previously passed the amendment on May 21, 1919, with 304 votes in favor and 89 opposed. The vote in the House was also heavily skewed toward Republicans, with over 200 Republicans voting in favor compared to only 102 Democrats.

It was the beginning of the end.

Was written where only stakeholders had the right to vote.
That was the stop check but we blew right through it.

The "ideology" of our government doesn't change depending on who is president.

Christians need to seek reformation in the church and evangelize the nation. We need to be in prayer for God’s mercy as we seek to be faithful to His commands.

You do realize the problem with this thinking? Both sides think they are the "good guys" and the other side is the "bad guys" that must be stopped.
I've seen this point & don't think it's as limiting as commonly believed.
Even blatant criminals often believe that they're justified, righteous, in the right etc. But it hasn't stopped society from setting up laws for thousands of years.
Is this different in your opinion? And if so, why?

The bureaucratic class is corrupt. That never changes and that is an ideology of sorts.

The Constitution guarantees a Republican form of government.

The flaw is that it is curated by lawyers.
How many of the people who wrote it were lawyers?

One side presents an existential threat to western civilization. The other is trying to preserve what we have here while the rest of the West replaces itself. Easy choice for me.
BINGO. The days of "I vote (D) for abortion rights" etc. are over
It is now these two choices moving forward with American politics. Globalism vs. Nationalism.
England may have waited too late to start realizing what Globalism was doing.
NWO Globalism - existential threat to western civilization
MAGA/America First - preserve our Constitutional Republic
