Remember all those silly chicken littles who used to tell us the sky was falling?

You know the ones, those guys who used to rant about how it was a bad idea to expand Presidential power because we couldn't be sure the President would use it wisely. Lolz, what losers. I hope they feel sufficiently chastened and humiliated by the elevation of Donald Trump to President-elect, a man whose sagacity and wisdom are matched only by his compassion, decency, and level-headedness.

But if I change it, everyone will think you're crazy, because it is capitalized.

They are on the verge of a Republican coup of America.
Couldn't be happier, I'm sure.
