I don't think your response addresses the substance of the article. The Constitution makes provisions for amendment. The Marxists want the whole thing to be scrapped because it is an impediment to their plans to institute a totalitarian system.
Hey now that's a cogent argument!
We need to have discernment so that we trust those who are trustworthy and don't trust those who are not. Otherwise is cultic.
I referenced the verses by description in my reply above to @[email protected]. If you need chapter and verse: [Mat 28:19-20 ESV] 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." [Rom 6:3-4 ESV] 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
It seems to me that they cannot square that with the verses I referenced. You can tell lies if you omit context. The Bible says the fool says there is no God but if you only say what the fool said, claiming that the Bible teaches that there is not God, without noting that the fool said it, you are communicating a lie.
My experience until very recently has been with churches in the believers' baptism (Baptist) tradition. I am not sure that I fully understand the thinking of denominations that practice infant baptism. It seems to me that in those denominations infant baptism essentially is the same as what a baby dedication would be in a Baptist church. But how do they square that with the verses that relate to making disciples and baptizing them and baptism being symbolic of sins being washed away, dying to sin, and being raised in new life?
What do the Protestant creeds and confessions have to say about it?

Counterpoint: Decline in religion doesn’t bode well for the republic
This might not seem like a crisis, but the American Founders would have disagreed. These men saw that self-government depended on morality and virtue, which, in turn, depended on religion. As George Washington stated in his Farewell Address, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indisputable supports.”

I can't seem to follow your community from Lemmy but I can follow it from Kbin and Mastodon. Strange.
You need to educate yourself on cultural Marxism and the Frankfurt School. Marxism is much broader than you suggest.
