he’s gonna stay on this democracy-destroying rage-fueled vendetta against all things biden/obama/liberal until someone forcibly removes him, one way or another.
There is no system of government that works when those charged with enforcing the law abdicate their duty.
That is not to say that our system of government is perfect. It is far from it. However, you can’t design a foolproof system and if there’s one thing I know about Americans it’s that we fucking love electing fools.
Yeah, the issue is that even if the system is perfect on paper, people will still be people. Even if the system has checks in place to prevent dictatorships, those checks will inevitably rely on people actually enforcing the rules. And what happens if those people are in favor of the dictator and actively want him to be in power, and thus refuse to stop the dictator from rising to power?
The billionaire class likes electing fools, the morons just listen to them (their ads, news networks, and more recently—the billionaires’ social media sites).
Getting money out of politics would be a huge step, but that would probably also require some kind of coup.
Admission that the only thing that would keep him in the bounds of his actual legal authority is the threat of criminal charges for misusing it.
hasn’t stopped him before. won’t stop him now.

And the only ones that can remove him forcibly (the GOP) are being threatened, bribed, or bullied into submission.
I’ve never used this insult before, but they are all clearly a bunch of beta cucks.
Well, yeah. That’s how laws work. He’s exploiting how much we’ve relied on social norms and didn’t codify the rules.
He and his administration are also ignoring the codified rules.
We relied on reasonable people enforcing the rules, but ignored the fact that they haven’t enforced jack shit against Republicans for decades.
The thing with rules is, they only work if they’re enforced. That’s even one of the balances of power between the branches.

Well yeah. That’s why the threat is there. By removing it they made the entire system a suggestion, not a requirement.
