Well, that's quite the laundry list of assumptions! It's interesting that you've managed to deduce my stance on such a broad range of issues based on a few comments.

One of the best ways I’d say we can implement carefully made changes is by starting with corruption on a broad scale, not on the specific candidates with terrible views. For example, if there was a list of policy I could enact (this is grossly summarized), it’d be something like this:
