“Pitchforks and torches”?

Of all the solutions you mentioned, that is the only one that will work. It’s a sad commentary on the human condition, but that’s what it’s come to.

Our institutions have become hopelessly corrupt, and now operate as an oligarchical class outside the law, the Constitution, and the people.

This is one of the primary reasons that Trump will win. Millions have concluded that electing a hard nosed outsider like him, is our last chance to right our country by working within the system.

Our institutions have become hopelessly corrupt, and now operate as an oligarchical class outside the law, the Constitution, and the people.
This is one of the primary reasons that Trump will win. Millions have concluded that electing a hard nosed outsider like him, is our last chance to right our country by working within the system.

I absolutely agree that much of Trump's appeal is that he's not one of the elites, I don't know that I'm entirely convinced that 'pitchforks' is the only option to right the system. Heck, if I were President here's some things I'd do that'd definitely shake things up:

1. Charges the current senate, and President, with Treason. (The Iran deal being a clear case of aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.)
2. Issue an executive order instructing the copyright and patent offices to void all patents and copyrights not held by a living, breathing person. (Art 1, Sec 8 gives Congress the power to secure exclusive rights to "authors and inventors" which only a living, breathing person can be; this would be a deep cut into the corporate interests that are buying/selling DC.)
3. Issue an executive order commanding that all servicemen convicted in courts martial for rape be given the maximum sentence: to be hanged by the neck until dead.
4. Issue an executive order commanding that all servicemen convicted in courts martial for adultery be given the maximum penalty: to be confined for one year, to forfeit all pay and allowance, and to be dishonorably discharged.
5. Failure to heed the above two executive order and faithfully prosecute will be charged with the UCMJ's obstruction of justice.
6. Issue an Executive order which:
   • Recognizes that the Constitution demands that "no state shall […] make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts",
   • that the Federal Reserve is not the congress (and therefore does not have the power to issue money),
   • that the Federal Reserve Note (FRN) is neither gold or silver,
   • that forcing such notes to be accepted by the States is therefore contrary to the Constitution and,
   • therefore all public debt incurred of these FRNs is not the liability of the States or the people therein,
   • but instead the liability of all members of Congress voting to incur such illegitimate debts and the Presidents who signed them into law.
7. Prosecute everyone involved w/ the Clinton Foundation to the fullest extent of the law.
8. Issue an Executive Order abolishing the Dept. of Education, as nowhere in Art 1, Sec 8 is the Congress explicitly permitted the power to institute a public education system, and anything implicit in the "general welfare" clause is negated by the simple facts of the US's math/science placements internationally, and the cost per student to get those results.
9. Issue an Executive Order recognizing that the Affordable Care Act demands government access to medical records and that under Roe v. Wade there is a constitutional right to privacy of medical records — therefore any agency, officer, or employee of the federal government implementing or administrating the Affordable Care Act will be prosecuted.
10. Issue an order to the DoJ to prosecute all judges who have presided over a divorce w/o a jury when the value in contention exceeded $20. (7th Amd.)
11. Issue an order to the DoJ to prosecute all judges presiding over a tax case wherein the accused had no jury. (6th Amd.)
12. Issue an order to the Army to secure the land borders of the United States using military force. (Like using these, and these.)
13. Issue an order to the Navy to secure the coastal borders of the united states, using the same military force.
14. Issue an Executive Order dissolving the Dept. of Homeland Security citing its ineffectiveness in securing the homeland against invaders into a group of 100 men in charge of confirming the conditions of "Wanted for Treason" $100,000 after-tax rewards for the mayors, police-chiefs, city-council members, and other such officials involved with providing aid and comfort to the invading illegal aliens in the form of the so-called sanctuary cities.
