Brush up on the Constitution;

House of Representatives; representing "the people" based on census and voted by those deemed eligible to vote - not everyone then and not everyone now unless convicts and illegals are actually given that privilege.

Senate; representing the sovereign states as equals and seated by whatever means each state senate chose to do so - destroyed by amendment under Woodrow Wilson and eliminating the check and balance intended specifically in order to avoid mob rule (hysteria) and the founders' fear that "the people" would eventually vote for more freebies and more costs than the republic could support - and that "popular" would become too large, too omniscient, and ultimately responsive only to itself.

"Of course democracy has its excesses. But the Revolution that Donald Trump is trying to accomplish isn't one of them."
France and Russia both had revolutions based on "democracy's excesses" and neither worked out too well.

If you're unable to distinguish the difference between those historical situations and the current one in America, I'm afraid you're beyond help.

In America, we have 250 years of tradition founded in freedom and opportunity, and we have already established the greatest, freest society that the world has ever known.

It's not like the American mind is suddenly going to turn into something unrecognizable.

We're trying to carry on a restorative Revolution that brings back Enlightenment notions regarding the scode and size of government, fiscal responsibility, accountability, and eliminating the systemic corruption and self-aggrandizement which is the earmark of modern American politics, especially at the federal level.

Vote Trump
