[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No idea what he might do. Total wild card. The only plus is that he *might* be ruled by some form if common sense. Common sense that both establishment parties have lacked.

[b]And I hope our existing institutions, good people on the left and right, and the constitution will protect us from any encroachment on freedom. I'm trusting in those things more than ever[/b]. I think that's what McMullin was getting at. Remember the basis and foundation. Remember to call him out, politicians, even if it's personally damages you. [/quote]

I can't tell if you voted for him or not, but if you did hoping people and institutions can keep him in check that's really naive.  The first line of defense against having the US government take away our liberties is the voting process itself.  If we don't elect people with authoritarian tendencies, we don't have to hope we won't fall victim to them.  It reminds me of the parable about the guy in the flood arriving in heaven to a confused deity after turning down a raft, a boat, and a helicopter claiming "God will save me".[/quote]
