Imagine going back in time and telling the signatories of the declaration of independence that politicians in 250 years would be calling a "No Kings" protest terrorists and that they hate America.

Imagine going back to 2006, when Idiocracy was released, and telling people that it's only going to take 20 years for that to happen, not 500.

There are two things however which I dislike strongly. 1. The want of a declaration of rights. I am in hopes the opposition of Virginia will remedy this, and produce such a declaration. 2. The perpetual re-eligibility of the President. This I fear will make that an office for life first, and then hereditary. I was much an enemy to monarchy before I came to Europe. I am ten thousand times more so since I have seen what they are. There is scarcely an evil known in these countries which may not be traced to their king as it’s source, nor a good which is not derived from the small fibres of republicanism existing among them.
