American Presidential Tyranny (feat. The Exploration with Will Fox)

This was written 6 months ago, and the conclusion was not added later. Any semblance of topical subjects is purely coincidental, and was not built into this by myself, no matter how prescient it may sound given six months prior writing.

We wanted to talk about how representative-democracy can be subverted or turned into tyranny - a pretty apt subject at any time. It is always a pressing matter. Here in the United States, we have a very clear way of defining tyranny within our government, yet it is somehow vague as well. Since our constitution was created in 1787, usurping that constitution has been the easiest way to proclaim someone as a tyrant.
