Commentary: Maybe we deserve the despotism and impoverishment created by our egomaniacal leader

Related Topics: Despotism, Poverty

We have a president who is little more than a squatter in the White House. It seems irrelevant whether he is moral, whether he is a genius, whether anything he has to say is truthful or not, whether he is insane, whether he is criminal.

These arguments are, to me, not more than distractions from the only thing that matters — he is in perpetual violation of our nation’s founding principles, laws, protocol, civil rights and personal safety.

Our elected officials are the first line of defense, and the Republican Party has entirely avoided its primary responsibility, as defined in The Declaration of Independence, which places the responsibility for ridding government of the threat of despotism on the voters.
