Dad remember this is America, our Founding Fathers prepared for the day a tyrant came to power and wrote our constitution to protect us from a tyrant; you taught me this last year during my PoliSci call and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Our country has been preparing for this day since 1776 and we WILL not let this man become a monster. I have faith in our system; he won fair and square. But our country is still the United States, with checks and balances and multiple branches of gov. This man will not ruin this country; in fact I believe the opposite, this country will ruin this man.
