All over the world, right at this moment, there are "elected" dictators. What happened following the last election was a declaration, by the people, that we aren't going down like that, at least not without a fight.
And while our governmental checks have not always kept the balance with Trump in office, they've (kind of) kept him from going full tyrant.
Over and over Trump proves those who oppose him right, revealing there are places in our system for improvement. Trump is that pink stuff your dentist makes you chew to expose places where there is plaque buildup (except Trump is the plaque).
You can try to elect the next Mussolini all you want, my friend, but not without pushback. Trump has exposed just how easily people can go cult, en masse, and it's a scary thing.
It's also a little ironic that a Trump sympathiser could draw a comparison between people exercising their constitutional right, ie the First Amendment, and the potential constitutional crisis that looms on the horizon.
(That being said, in response to
@MickZagger, I think a landslide is upon us and there will be no traction to be had [it should be noted, I thought Trump had no chance last election. Oops.]. The vote will be an overwhelming indictment and he'll accept defeat and join Fox News. Post-Trump will be interesting though. Yes, perhaps a little civil unrest. But in reality there is walk of shame ahead for many of you, the likes of which we've not seen in the United States. And there will be people blinking awake, like where am I, because the catalyst to all this acrimony will be gone.
It continually, and always has, amazed me that people just obsess on individuals. Personally, I have no heros and I'm proud of it. People are inherently flawed (like me). Put too much power in one person's hands, and you get something like what we've been dealing with for the last nearly-4 years.)
