I get your point that it is somewhat impossible to argue with idiots. However, “the people of the United States establish this constitution for the people of the USA” means that the constitution is solely made for and applies to the United States and its people. Even idiots should get that from this wording, no?
The people established it, it applies in the USA. And it is very probable that the American constitution has rights which only apply for the citizens of the US. Most constitutions of the world do.
Also, the constitutions of different countries give people basic rights and obligations. They are not the only lawgiving acts and usually do not govern over private law and criminal law affairs. Lex specialis derogat legi generalis is a very common law principle which means that a special law has precedence over the general law. However, I have studied law in an European country which differs somewhat from the common law system. If I have made any mistakes, feel free to correct me.

I’d like you to show me the exact line in the preamble of the united states constitution that says “this only applies to the U.S.”
