We have a country out there.
Itโs called a Constitutional Republic.
Benjamin Franklin understood the challenges we would face in order to keep it.
Factionalism.
Despotism.
The whim of the impassioned masses.
Thatโs why we have a Constitution.
We have collectively failed our nation.
We have allowed ourselves to be grouped into factions defined by passion, and not the law.
We embrace the expediency of the despot because we lack the patience of due process.
And we have sacrificed everything in the name of a cult of personality built around a clinically insane con man.
