I completely agree but unfortunately it's never going to happen. Those in power now will prevent it just like they saw to it that outsider Trump was a one term president. The establishment has reasserted their control of the government and I don't think they will loosen their grip on it ever again. I truly feel that by the time Platapus kicks off in 30 years our civil liberties will be just a memory.
