What did they expect?

When they decided to challenge the legitimacy of our democracy, there were risks involved.

When they decided to start their own propaganda network (FOX) to challenge the "liberal" mainstream media, they must have known there would be consequences? When they challenged the will of the majority as illegitimate, the result was the division of our people.

When they created false "scandals" against their opponents, simply for political advantage, they must have known nothing good would come from it. When they created conspiracies out of the Benghazi tragedy and the use of an email server, for the simple purpose of tearing down their political opponent, it was not for the benefit of our country.

These are the true enemies of democracy. Those that thwart the will of the majority and those that lie and deceive to gain political power should not be tolerated.

Oligarchy and to hell with the masses.

Of course every time in the history of the world you have had an oligarchy, eventually the masses rise up in revolution. But, then again, these folk are smarter than that, right?

Yeah, right.
