I used to not care about ads either, until an ad on a site I trusted installed about 10 pieces of malware/adware that took me almost a week to finally get removed.
No, it wasn't a pr0n site or warez site. After that I quit trusting ads and do everything in my power to block them.
I'm not worried about the current president becoming the first "King of the US" I'm worried about the slow degradation of the checks and balances of the government as a whole over time.
If some of these new laws and acts don't get repealed and stay on the books eventually all it will take will be a president 20 or 30 years from now to declare martial law and totally overthrow the whole government "for the good of the people".
I just hope that whoever ends up in office next year goes through everything that got passed in the last year and guts it out of the legal system.
