I'm trying to understand why anyone would want to assume that position, When
they could have clearly done something correctly. It seems that people enjoy abusing rights
instead of honoring them as a privilege instead.
Perhaps if you lived in a country without free speech you would see things differently. After living in the mainland I understood the importance of being able to criticize the government. To put it simply, yes you won the election but does not mean that the opposition must remain silent, we are all still here. Why are speaking up? Because we want President Twitter to hear us. The power is in his hands if he wants to unite the country he can but I doubt that he will because it is much more difficult. I often wondered why Obama turned to congress to vote on intervening in Syria although some saw him as weak he was trying to unite the country behind a single cause but failed but looking back it was the right thing to do hopefully the next Pres will do the same but judging from his cabinet picks which all seem to be anti-cabinet picks I don't see it happening.
