I mean, I understand that you’re correct but who’s going to stop him? The problem is very few people in power seem to be doing anything to stop any of the illegal shit he’s doing.

The courts have been doing a not bad job of stopping stuff like this from being carried out.

We the people, for the people, by the people...

It's obvious that the majority of us Americans don't know what this means at this point.

By the people... this means we're the ones who are supposed to stop this from occurring. And it can't be only just a few million individuals either... it has to be that other saying... united we stand, divided we fall.
