Hey Left, I Told You So

I hate to say I told you so. This is a phrase I've had come to my mind lately. With Donald Trump in the White House, I've seen more and more people concerned with the level of power wielded by the President of the United States.....Pretty interesting considering that there was section of people warning of the executive power's over reach. I wonder who that was? It certainly wasn't the right establishment who set the wheels in motion during the Bush years by enacting PATRIOT act which gave the government power to spy on their citizens. It certainly wasn't the left who allowed Obama to indiscriminately bomb and in prison who ever they want. Trump can start war, he can kill people and we over the years allowed this power because we always believed it would be placed in responsible hands. I'm not really here to jump on Trump and say he's not fit to be president because I'm unsure anyone is fit to rule over 300 million souls. So regardless of what I think of Trump, the one good thing he has accomplished is that he made everyone realize we need to reign in the executive powers. All those times calling him "worse than Hitler" were the same ones laughing at people wanting to keep guns in case of a tyrannical government take over. Do I think we are under a rule of a tyrannical government? Of course not but doesn't mean they don't need to be reigned in significantly. This government is sick and needs to be cured of its sickness. Will Trump "drain the swamp", that will remain to be seen, but early reports show that the swamp is more likely to eat him up. It is a long 4 years and a discussion of "4D Chess" is brought up but its looking unlikely. Defeating the state is quite the daunting task and even the hero of the left Barack Obama couldn't stop wheels in motion. Well its going to be interesting to see what happens, but I can't help but tell the left who accused me of being crazy.....I TOLD YOU SO!
