The alternatives to people accepting an elected government — even in a less-than-perfect process — is much worse than the actual results.
Most Democrats are deliberately embracing sovereignty-destroying open border policies and intentionally favoring those who are in the country illegally over their own citizen constituents. They've gone further left than anyone in the Party’s past could ever imagine.

So why is there so much “resistance” to the track on which President Trump has put our nation? In answering this question, it’s helpful to sort “resisters” into three groups: the “free riders,” the “ill-informed/easily-influenced,” and the “avowed socialists/statists.”
Adam Smith, certainly no socialist, recognized that while competitive free markets need to be regulated, the more government interferes in a market, the less competitive an economy and less prosperous all citizens will be.
