The Power of the American People

Borders are defined as a result of economic and political disparity. Millions have immigrated legally in pursuit of the American Dream. Most of those who claim to want to flee because the election didn't turn out  the way they wanted have either already reaped the benefits of the American Dream or have never experienced the hardships that have compelled immigrants to flee their homeland in pursuit of a better life.

It's not the president that makes this country great, but the people... the ideal of  a government by the people and for the people. When we relinquish that power, opting instead to allow figureheads,
unnecessary litigation and bureaucracies to make those decisions for us, this government for and of the people ceases to exist and nothing short  of a bloody revolution could ever bring it back.

So those who threaten to leave, by all means, please make good on your  promise, as you are not the solution, but part of the problem. Keep in mind that for your vacancy, there are many more who would gladly leave everything behind, learn a new language and struggle with cultural differences filling the void where your ungrateful soul resided.

Never take the privilege of being an American citizen for granted.
