The trouble is the Left are not very sensible. They still ignore the dangers of communism and other forms of totalitarian government.
The Constitution is something that gets in their way.

I could make a suggestion here, though I don't know whether that would do any good. I'd suggest distinguishing between communism and totalitarianism. There may be some overlap between them, but they are not the same thing. Then, to be fair and complete, we'd make similar distinctions among other systems, like, say, to distinguish between capitalism and totalitarianism, of which there may be some overlap between them, but they are not the same thing.
The Constitution is more complex for me to try to address briefly.
I'm trying to phase out RobertX8Y to make room for my new persona (or at least new handle) which is RobertV2. So at some point I'll let some of these threads drop -- I mean, whatever my part is in them.

Donny would never advocate for violence so he could maintain immunity and continue to trash the Constitution.
No, after months of planning he did say go peacefully and then watched in glee for several hours as his mob hunted his enemies and trashed the capital. He was begged to call off his perpetrators and did nothing. He was loving it.
Now they are in jail, their lives permanently damaged and he will skate free because he is such a hot political potato.

Now, how did you arrive at that conclusion, that Trump trashed the Constitution, Sherlock???
Generally what I've noticed is that Trump doesn't seem to care at all (if he's even aware) about conflicts of interest. I don't know whether the topic of "conflicts of interest" is literally specifically addressed in the Constitution, but it's a concept that's important in a democracy and, also, at least some of the Founders would care about such a thing.

If I wish to get further into a topic’s details, I type the topic into my browser. I guarantee the result of my query will provide me with dozens of sources. The first listed sources are the result of the most frequently, not necessarily the most in depth and/or reliable sources, clicked. It’s likely algorithmically determined by the host of the browser. The truly curious will look at any number of listed sources and attempt to reach the conclusion or opinion by reading multiple sources. Reading and expounding from only those sources that fit an individual’s or source narrative does not often offer a complete evaluation.

I read that some software (the Google search engine, and Facebook, and probably many other interactive software on the internet) customizes its responses according to what it has learned that the particular user likes (clicks). Thus when I search on Google, and when you search on Google, the list it returns to me will be different from the list it returns to you, even if we have both entered the exact same query to it. It would identify the user in some way, such as by the IP address of the computer. It would do this to maximize advertisement revenues. But this behavior also has the effect of confirmation bias for each user -- that is, it would give the user web pages that tend to confirm what the user already likes or believes.
The web page of the search engine duckduckgo.com claims to not track the user. In this way it would not make confirmation bias.

With no explanation, you simply assert something is "un-Constitutional"? Is it an attempt to change the subject, or what?
I would have expected at least a pointer to some part of the Act and a pointer to some part of the Constitution that contradicts it. I mean, if you know what you're talking about, that would have been easy and useful to do.
I've looked at the Constitution occasionally, and I looked at the initial summary of that Act to which you refer, at the start of its text (25 words or so), at:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22hr1%22%5D%7D&r=1&s=1
and there's nothing so obviously "un-Constitutional" about it.
