They only accept power when it's theirs.

Maybe the problem is that the political system of the US is too top-heavy.
The amount of power vested into the one person who is POTUS... head of state, head of military, nominates judges, issues executive orders, highest authority when it comes to declassification...
To paraphrase Mitch McConnell, I think the US could use a little less drama and political system that is less prone to the whims of a single person.

1. I wonder if we would have the same thought
the day before the last election. I think we are seeing the limits of our current electoral system. Disproportionate representation for the Senate and Presidency. Gerrymandering for the House. Fixed four year terms for the chief executive. It is times like this that the parliamentary system looks better. Would we feel the same way when Obama was President though?
No.
Because you're power-mad statist hypocrites.

2. We need some Constitutional amendments.
The system wasn't designed to handle this level of partisanship and lack of concern for the common good.
Article 1, Section 8
Amendment IX
Amendment X
Any of these ring a bell for you?

All unfortunately neutered or interpreted to take power away from the States and People then give overreaching power to the Congress and the Federal government generally, beginning with the FDR era Supreme Court.

Wow, the DUmmies are adopting conservative values?
Well, I guess I should finish reading the whole thing to find out...

The system wasn't designed to handle 99% of the shit you DUmbasses have tried to make it responsible for nowadays. So if some of it falls to the wayside, no skin off my back.

Obama and his fellow fascists spent 8 years weaponizing the federal government only to give it over to Trump.

We own most of the state houses. Bring it.

The system wasn't designed to handle retarded infants and a preponderance of gibmedats. Kill yourself. Soon.

Many of these same DUmmies believe that, in the wake of the 2016 elections, Obama should have thrown out the election results, scheduled a new election on the grounds that a non- liberal was elected, and remain in office past his term limit.

As I recall way back in 2009 when all of the Obumble shit was still hitting the fan and spreading everywhere, Rush said that one day the pendulum would swing, and that this government machine they were building would one day be turned back against them, used on them, and that they would see how it felt.
Well, here we are. I have absolutely no pity for you primitives. Those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind.

It shouldn't have, but that one even took me by surprise. I mean, these single-celled organisms are stupid, but daaaaaahmn.

I anxiously await the IRS going ape shit on leftists organizations. The FNM shitstorm will be Biblical.
