Trump is not a dictator.
He doesn’t claim any authority other than that given to him by the American people.
And should he be elected, they can revoke his mandate at their pleasure.
Kevin D. Williamson is smoking crack. The notion that Trump presents an intolerable affront to two centuries of American self-government is a meme not in need of explanation.
Yes indeed, people have a right to be angry with their rulers and that’s exactly what elections are for - to bring government in line with the wants and desires of the people from whom it derives its authority.
I need only quote Ronald Reagan: “America is a country that has a government, not a government that has a country.”
In a word, government is the servant of the people who are its master.
I think you've nailed it. Thanks!
