I'm far from suggesting wholesale change of the Constitution I just don't understand where you guys get the idea that that's what's happening

It has slowly and steadily eroded from its initial writings as has the interpretations. Some of that erosion has been good, some has been bad. But the core tenets are freedom and liberty, intertwined, for the citizenry. There was a rather monumental dustup over bits of the Constitution and some interpretations significantly drifted at point.
But it has changed and people are not as free today as 50, 100,
150 170 years ago. So while their are far more people in Freedom (beyond superb) the individual freedom is comparatively reduced.
It is necessary to have the conversation.
I am biased having spent time in places where freedom and liberty is stifled.

Probably, but that is a bug, not a feature.
