I think if there is a new Constitution, it would need to incorporate economic rights. People can't abandon work to strike or protest, which negates the voice of the poor and working man alike. The wealthy can afford to voice their politics, which is likely the biggest reason why Yarvin's Cabal succeeded. Ordinary people simply can't dedicate the time to research nor influence politics.

Bullet box has yet to be opened. But I can hear the hinges creaking.
I would say so. The only question is whether the good guys win a civil war. My money is on 'yes', since Yarvin's Cabal is hellbent on exiling all of the competent people from their society, along with being jackasses who have alienated many peoples. It will be a bloody struggle, but I think that Dogey America will ultimately receive the Old Yeller treatment. I only hope that every member of Yarvin's Cabal are executed - Elon, Thiel, ect.
Let's not make the mistakes of the 1st Civil War, 1st Business Plot, and 2nd World War, where many high ranking members were permitted to escape justice.
Xitler Youth, and the inevitable Xitlergruupen when they are militarized. I would call the fascist nation, "Dogey America". Like 'Vichy', but made suitably stupid enough to accurately represent the Trump Regime.
I think "seize the means of production" is an supplement to Luigi. If protesters take over the Xitter servers, for example, they can change the algorithm. Ditto for Faux News. This would catch a great deal of attention. Same with federal workers seizing the US Treasury, DOGE offices, and so on. Make our own t-shirts, manage the diners, run the farms, hospitals minus unreasonable costs, and so forth.
The big problem is getting enough people for it, and coordinating their supply chains to replace corporate-controlled shackles on cooperative commerce. The way Dogey America is going, however, has freed up many civil servants who are familiar with what it means to keep things running smoothly.
There is a chance that we will be able to have a reset of America, depending on how capitalists and cooperatives play their respective hands.
I would like them to be imprisoned on a island. It would be a Battle Royal that I can get behind.
Her messaging changed midway through her campaign, to one that was friendlier to a center-right disposition. She lost a good deal of her mojo because of that, since she became Biden v2.0. While obviously better than Trump, she was rejected for being more of the same. Many politicians across the globe felt a backlash in 2024 for not trying to rock the boat.
I personally would prefer a Bernie/AOC ticket, with Bernie giving a public contract that allows her to have him resigned if his mind starts going. IMO, it would be ideal if we could get 16 years of Bernie/AOC, and more if they can raise worthy successors.
I would argue the biggest factor is the lack of a primary. Kamela didn't get to prove her 2024 chops, along with not having nearly enough time to organize a campaign. Biden and his handlers really screwed the pooch.
What it really comes down to, though, is corporate donors. Never forget that most of the high democratic leadership are a feckless and dependent lot. Kamela, like the rest, listened to the demons.
Having term limits on politicians (including judges) would be key. At some point, an old person simply can't relate to the world that younger people grew up in. More importantly, they either become angry codgers (Republicans) or domesticated sheep (Geronocrats), which is innately an imbalance in political influence. An assertive person, in most situations, gets a bigger piece of the pie, be it political, fiscal, sexual, or some other thing.
