MODERATORS
Trump's presidency is a materialization of Yankee elites panicking. USA is going to lose a hegemony it achieved after USSR collapsed and Trump is making desperate moves trying to stop it. And the ruling class (the billionaires) support it in general.
Fox News and Trump make it so that if members of Congress oppose the president they get death threats and definitely wonβt be re-elected. Republicans will let Trump do anything at this point.
They cannot.
The republican party is complicit, and supports the evil he does, and more than that, he commands their supporters, so it would be political suicide for them.
Why can't the democrats? The republicans control all 4 parts of government and even if they had control over the senate, they would need 60% of the votes, a number that is unprecedented in recent times.
The votes needed for removal is actually 66%, which is even harder, but otherwise I concur.
I think we did twice
no one really liked him being there, even his own party.
His own party appears to like him for some reason. I doubt they really do, but they seem to think they'll lose elections if they don't grovel to him.
It's because he's nothing but a massive "yes man" and the average Nazi loves his rhetoric. Miller is the one calling the shots behind the scenes. I'm sure the actual party despises him but he's the best figurehead for their white supremacy that they've ever had, so they're putting all their weight behind him.
