I mean, think about George Washington.
He led a successful revolution against incredible odds and then laid down his sword and retired.
He could have become a dictator easily.

It included things like quartering troops in their homes.
It included things like duly enacted laws by colonial legislatures not getting the assent of parliament.
It was things like not being able to be represented in parliament.
All of those ideas were in the pot, but they really, in my mind, boil down to those three big ideas, that we're all equal, that there are no serfs, there are no lords, that each of us has inalienable rights.

Our country is facing troubles.
