Why don't Americans impeach Trump? (lemmy.org)

I'm from Korea, and we impeached our president last year, mostly because he declared martial law, but he was also a terrible president, and no one really liked him being there, even his own party.

Why can't the U.S do the same, if Donald Trump is so bad? Why are some Americans even supporting him?

Because Republicans vs Democrats has almost reached North Korea vs South Korea status. Republicans want their "democratic" glorious leader and Democrats want profits. And neither care about the people.

A better analogy would be DPK vs PPP as DNC and GOP analogues. The ROK is deeply divided politically right now, similar to the US, between a sort of liberal socdem party (DPK) and a fascist party (PPP).
