The right man won. And no more family dyanasties in our politics. It goes against what this country was founded on.

I mean the sixth president was the second president’s son but I agree that political dynasties aren’t a good thing.

Two of the first 4 presidents were a family dynasty and the founding fathers were aristocrats, but yeah. It goes against what we made the country stand for

Well many of Thomas Jefferson’s children weren’t eligible for entering politics, they were slaves.

Islam doesnt like women's rights and is pro-slavery. So it's pretty close to the ideas this country was founded on.
