        Imagine basing your personality on a satire character and thinking you’re an independent thinker.

          Read the comments and note the downvotes, sir. I’m definitely in the minority here. Therefore I would dare suggest it is in fact you who are the thoughtless parrot here. Governments are corrupt and incompetant organizations, and the bigger they become, the more corrupt and incompetant they are. If you truly are concerned that a single man can wreck such damage, you need to understand that is only possible because people like you have built up an organization that holds far too much power. The obvious solution is to shrink the scope of that organization so that a single maniac can’t do so much damage.

          Big government is to blame for Trump having so much power. Learn, or be doomed to see history repeat itself.

            Just because you say the sky is yellow, doesn’t mean you’re better for it.

            If you shrink the government, corporations will just fill the power vacuum. It’s that simple.

              Open your eyes. Corporations already heavily influence policy. Stop making that possible by decentralizing the power!
