    Let's define a Tyrants:

    Considering that Hillary seems to be above the law when it comes to her emails, she has vowed to shut down conservative websites (in direct violation of the 1st Amendment), will completely ignore the 2nd Amendment and people have mysteriously gone missing as a result of leaking negative information about Hillary Clinton.The Democratic Party also controls the media, seeks to control universities (through funding, i.e don't bite that hand that feeds you) and through Obama care, seeks to control the medical industry.

    So my question is How do Tyrants normally get elected? Is Clinton a modern day example of a Tyrant? If she is, will she run America as a Polity, or will she be a military dictator?

    Tyrants get elected because they tend to get results. A great example of that is what happened in the Philippines. They elected a known tyrant who managed to do what the corrupt politicians the filipinos normally go with, which was to create a safe place to live. The rest of the country saw what he had accomplished in Davao, and wanted that in the rest of the country.

    A similar situation is brewing in the states thanks to a series of inept and corrupt presidents, congressmen, senators, governors, and mayors. It's gotten to the point that a tyrant might be just what the country needs.

    What you perceive as random ineptitude and corruption was actually all by design with media covering for the nonsense with false approvals and perspective.

    We need to use our greatest right, and that is to alter or abolish government destructive to unalienable rights.

    Mussolini wasn't that bad.

    Capitalist Britain seems to have been worse than that during WW2.

    Like how 3 million Indians died in famine due to Britain taking more resources in the Bengal Famine of 1943.

    Like how Britain took part in the Dresden Firebombing, where 25,000 German civilians were killed.

    Like how Britain gave Soviets Lend-lease to help them fight to take over much of Central-Europe, before selling out much of Central-Europe to Stalin in Yalta Conference, and Potsdam Conference.

    Highly oversimplimfied. They campaigned and won but it takes voter approval to win. Why did the voters elect them?

    Some tyrants win also because there's no alternative option. At all.

    In this election, Hillary Clinton is the ONLY candidate that should be in prison and her party is helping her stay out of prison. That's one way tyrants are elected.

    Tyrants get elected because Democrats get more votes.

    As William Penn observed, those who will not be ruled by God will be ruled by tyrants; and that is because while God does not cater to human selfishness, such catering is second nature to the tyrant.

    It's the first I have heard of William Penn, do you know of any good books he has written?

    True, in America we have the option to alter or abolish government destructive to unalienable rights. Media won't tell you but our government has and is destroying our unalienable rights.

    In order to alter or abolish we have to use our exclusive right to define rights Un enumerated and constitutional intent.

    Let us get started with preparation for Article V.

    Do you agree and accept that the framers of the founding documents intended for us to alter or abolish government destructive to our unalienable rights?

    Do you agree and accept that the ultimate purpose of free speech is to enable the unity adequate to effectively alter or abolish government destructive to our unalienable rights?

    They get elected by slaves. There are many tyrants who are using the government to oppress people. You'd be hard pressed to find an elected official.who is not one. They not only interfere in our lives, they do so in the lives of the people of other sovereign nations. I don't give a damn if the government likes Assad or not, it's not its place to oust him, or lend aid to his opponents.
