Related: About this forumA U.S. President is NOT a Ruler, but a PUBLIC SERVANT!! A President is not the boss of the people...
But merely the boss of the government's network of public servants.
We cannot allow it to be forgotten that THEY work for us! (and not the other way around!)
"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." Thomas Jefferson
Trump seems to be determined to establish an American dictatorship - and the moment he tries to implement this after his inauguration we must oppose him to such a degree (General Strike?? - whatever means) to communicate to his party that we, the people, WILL NOT TOLERATE AN AMERICAN DICTATORSHIP - and that we will be essentially ungovernable if this individual is not removed or forced to comply with our Constitution! If we accept a dictatorship we will never be rid of it in our lifetimes!
NO AMERICAN SHOULD EVER ACT LIKE THEY ARE AFRAID OF TRUMP!!
With Climate Change - our generation has been given an opportunity (and responsibility) to save our planet - with Trump - we must answer the call to save our form of government. THIS IS OUR MOMENT! ("one of the greatest generations perhaps?"
In the long run, it may be easier than you think to dissuade the U.S. military from supporting a totalitarian regime partnered with a Russian dictator bent on abolishing the U.S. Constitution!
Without them - Trump will have NOTHING - and will be ready to kick to the curb like a toothless Joseph McCarthy figure.
