“The Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features Sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting – it squints towards monarchy. And does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American? Your president may easily become king. Where are your checks in this government?”
“A people that elect corrupt politicians, impostors, thieves, and traitors are not victims… but accomplices.”
— George Orwell

Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting – it squints towards monarchy. And does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American? Your president may easily become king.
