But what if we were to end up with a permanent Obama?

I can think of other ways since this is for a most part a civil society.

What is the symbol?

[Rome2000]

Dictators either advance the interests of the people or are removed and replaced.

Understand that the Republic established in 1787 is no longer viable due to Universal Suffrage.

The symbol is an upside down wine glass, signifying that the status quo is off the table.

The Second American Republic must be established.

That will not happen sans a dictatorship period.
