This is a quote by Benjamin Franklin. He said of our Constitution that, though it was imperfect, it was as near perfection as could probably ever be attained by mortal man. We have been fighting SO LONG to win back our Constitution, and now, when the tide is finally turning, you people want a Caesar?
I hear you, pede, but hang on a little. Let's see what happens in November. Then, let's think VERY carefully about what comes next. How about, like, actual states' rights, like the 9th and 10th amendments are supposed to protect? Under a dictator there are no rights. By the way, what we have is essentially a constitutional monarchy, which is not actually Constitutional. If people just PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION instead of finding six ways from Sunday to make excuses why they should ignore abuses of it or throw it out altogether, it works--not perfectly, of course not, it was fashioned by mortal men, but it works pretty well. Don't attack the Constitution, attack the EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM that is attacking the Constitution! That's how all this started, infiltration of academia! Fight!
The problem is, eventually, like Rome, you'll get somebody who won't give up his powers and the legislature will be too weak, corrupt, or inept to force him to step down. Given how bad they are already, I give it about four years.
I think we all should wait until November to see what to do next. There is a lot of propaganda trying to make it seem like the sky is falling and frankly I don't think it is. I think the future is solidly in the hands of conservatives and we should think now about exactly what direction to go from here, and not make rash and destructive choices now as a reaction to the D party's dying thrashes. To be clear, I'm not advocating complacency--we need to bust our asses in November to get Trump reelected--but I advocate discretion and respect for the wisdom of the Founders, who absolutely thought of all this stuff. Anybody trying to tell you "the Founding Fathers never anticipated x" is usually uninformed. They really thought of just about everything. Remember, they lived under a monarch! They were intimately familiar with Roman history also. Rome was a constant companion in debates over Constitutional law. They debated everything we're talking about here. We should all go learn from them before we start ripping up what they wrote. We're not Democrats, are we?
Law and principles aren't what has shackled us, complacency is. Whole generations turning a blind eye to obvious infiltration and subversion. Functioning militias and watchful citizens are the answer, not even more despotism. Realize also the whole reason the educational system is what it is, is because parents keep sending their kids there. Why? Because it's easy. We need to spook people away from public schools and provide appealing alternatives in a highly visible way. I think this is our generation's chief work. If we just implement a dictatorship, the last light of this nation's founding will have been extinguished and the enemy will have won. The next generation after that will grow up without ever understanding what America was or why men died for it. America alone of all nations was founded on Liberty. We should be educating people about Liberty, not throwing it away. Most people today don't even really know what that word means. They think it just means doing what you want or something. It's more. If we lose our national identity, we haven't saved our nation!

No - don't want a Caesar. But we have gone over the constitutional cliff. We have gone over the demographic cliff.
Trump will be re-elected but barring a seismic cultural change that will be our last national election.
Four more years of reprieve and then comes war.
