We may think protest in the streets (circa the 60's) is tearing apart our nation, consider the display of incompetence being exhibited at the White House level exceeds the of any in recent history. Donald had better face up that he's running a government, not the construction of a country club golf course or luxury hotel. Donald is kissing up to his base because he wants the power and loyalty to flow to him and not the American people.
The government is best, that governs least. I don't think Jefferson had a dictatorship in mind when he issued that statement.
