Freedom lovers everywhere are biting their nails during the election season, wondering how the damage can be limited. Depending on who gains control, we could have trade wars, nationalized health care, the pillaging of Wall Street and Main Street, more wars in the Middle East, a VAT tax, surveillance of your smartphone, mass deportations, internment camps, and worse.
Read that sentence slowly in a deep voice and it sounds like the trailer to a dystopian film.
Another Way
Let’s take a step back and ask whether it has to be this way. What if the power of government were so limited that it didn’t matter who occupied the White House? Wouldn't that be a vast improvement?
Let’s say that Rutherford B. Hayes, who was president from 1877 to 1881, had been revealed to be a fascist demagogue and bearded would-be dictator. Maybe the same could be said of Presidents Chester A. Arthur (1881-1885), James Garfield (1881), or Benjamin Harrison (1889–1893). Let’s say they were all crazy authoritarians who longed to rule the country as a private fiefdom.
Would it really matter? Probably not.

It shouldn’t matter, but it does. In today’s world, no man or woman could resist putting their personal stamp of influence on the culture, economy and laws of this country. Nor would they be expected to remain soley a neutral steward and caretaker. The chance to make history is too great to resist.

Still confused as regards the origins and fuel behind the “Trump Bump”?
On this night of another of the GOP debates, these two videos may be of some help.
This one will aid your understanding about Trump’s support among growing numbers of the more responsible members of the black community:

And this one will aid your grasp on the Trump surge among American’s concerned about wholesale illegal — and unrestrained LEGAL (according to obama) — importation of hordes from the Middle East (which is going on even as you read these words).

Have a good evening!
yes as long as Congress and the Judiciary are not gutless rubber stamps afraid of being called “racists” for doing their duty.
