Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.
If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."
We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.
And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.
Remember what Malcolm X said:
How can you thank a man for giving you what's already yours? How then can you thank him for giving you only part of what is yours?
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
