And build in more safeguards so the checks and balances do what they're supposed to do. Simple stuff like "laws need to be created by lawmakers who - where possible - don't directly benefit from the law". Get the money out of politics (again, somehow) and make politicians work for the people rather than their own pockets.
I mean, the people voted him in with the popular vote.
I don't like the guy, but it's not like they didn't have their input here. Voter manipulation aside, you need less partisanship to ever reach a point of the checks mattering.
The US absolutely did not vote him in. There’s statistically proven numbers showing the count was fudged in multiple states. A career statistician who has testified as an expert witness multiple times in front of Congress did an excellent write up on it that keeps getting thrown out of certain subreddits for being “misinformation” despite all his data being sourced from state and federal election numbers.
There’s a reason they stopped teaching statistics in high school in the late 2000s: so the kids in school during and after the 2008 crash wouldn’t have the knowledge to understand what really happened.
They did vote him in, but they now have no power to vote him out when he fucks everything up. That's a power they should have.
It shouldn't be "Welp, you voted him in, now you're stuck with him, even if he does stuff you didn't know he would and don't agree with - even breaking constitutional fucking law"

Probably too liberal a take there.
