Then why is he still the president? Why has he not faced the consequences of interfering with the election?

Because America is broken.

The laws that exist hold no weight if they are not enforced.

We've allow our police to become a military force.

We have been conditioned to be us vs them.

We've allowed corporations to have more rights and power than citizens.

We look to push down our neighbors if that gets us ahead instead of helping those who have less.

We have been conditioned to be us vs them.

Sadly, it us vs. them. Witness the lady who shouted about the Epstein files at a rally a day or two ago, was tackled and beat publicly while Trump egged them on and the crowd cheered, and then the police arrived to drag the victim away and leave the perpetrators to high-five each other.

This is America. You're not overcoming that with kindness and understanding.

Didn't hear or see that. Fucked up, not really surprised

Because his party is covering for him and holds majorities in all branches and courts

Yeah, that is the point. A democracy is healthy as long as its citizens participate in it. The general apathy is abysmal. The fact that he was elected again after all that happened in his first term plus the grand finale on Jan 6th says a lot.

The Heritage foundation and their predecessor orgs had been working on installing "sleeper agents" in all levels of gov't.

When Elon aided Trump in intercepting voter data and modifying it to a certain degree, they had 'finally' obtained a majority hold on the US gov't.

In courtrooms, Republican/MAGA judges shift the needle.

In classrooms, Republican/MAGA teachers* indoctrinate the kids.

In legal theory, Republican/MAGA unofficials remove our protections.

This is a systematic sweep of every person with a heart, soul, and human body; ousting REAL Americans in favor of their Nationalist And Zealotic Insurrection.

Oh huh, look at that Acronym... Curious!!!

If you don't want things to go further, do the unspeakable, do what is censored.



Cause them to...

Disappear.

Some would say citizens can force change or sit on their hands. I will let you decide which they are choosing.

Complacent boot lickers

It's very much not accepted outside of his base, but what exactly would you have us do when they control every aspect of government, courts, military, and majority of law enforcement? I personally don't feel like committing suicide by cop to prove a point that won't change anything. We have to vote them out then hold them accountable, nothing else will work. And before you say "armed revolution" you can just stop right there, our police are more militarized than most other militaries of the world.

because Republicans have majority in all 3 arms of the government that have the power to remove him. democrats can impeach him all they want but without majority votes its toothless

Honestly, no offense, but as a Canadian I feel it's strange that many Americans do not see that Trump and his sick pedo-billionaire cabal are above the law.

That's not hyperbole. The law does not apply to the president anymore. From there, this entire branch of your government has been broken, and whoever it is who is actually running your country can do whatever they want, with impunity, and its too late to even pretend that the constitution even matters anymore.

Most of your rights and protections afforded by law have been cancelled, you guys have concentration holding camps and a paramilitary enforcement army that is used by the regime to apply violence on any protest movements.

No offense taken. Also, I'm not American. I had the luck of being born in Europe and the terrible misfortune of having russia at the eastern border of my country.

There aren’t a great many ways to deal with a rogue President. The few that exist are entirely contingent on his own party turning on him.

u/XcOM987 21h ago

Because the checks and balances that were put in place all that time ago never envisioned that one party would become corrupt from top to bottom, take control of all 3 arms of government, and would act in interests other than for the people.

u/Phos-Lux 21h ago

Because the law has failed and it's now up to the normal people to stop him, but no one wants to risk their own life.
