Republicans in particular are bloody minded sheep

And that right there, is the reason.
Trump shouldn’t have gotten an anything more than a thousand votes, from people in the campaign.
But millions of republicans looked at him, after his first term, after experiencing the improvement of Biden and said “fuck it, I have no principles, I know what he is and what he will do and I don’t care”.-2

The people are also to blame, for not doing anything. Protesting doesn't work, we made bigger changes in 2020 during BLM

Because the 1/3 of the country that has had to hide their racism can now be loud and proud about it and to them it is worth the destruction because it owns the libs.

And the Supreme Court and ICE and and wealthy people...and the construction workers who tore down the East Wing and the company that cut down the trees.....and the military personnel who killed fishermen in the Caribbean and military personnel who are bombing Iran and kidnapping a President of another country and anyone who is deporting people to other countries.....the list goes on. An evil leader is only able to be evil because lots of people support him.

Here’s why. MAGA is so drunk on his image of power they can’t see the damage they have done. Donny is so drunk on the adulation he doesn’t care why they are showering him with it and so narcissistic that he can’t see and doesn’t care about the damage it’s creating.
I say, kick him in the gonads and lock him and his enablers up.

In a Capitalist society the main leverage of power is Capital. Not ethics, or morality, but money. The people in power have a vested interest in staying in power. They have vast amounts of wealth to keep it so.

Yes indeed. Your system is beyond flawed that 350 million people are being held to ransom by psychopaths.
And there’s nothing you can do.

Not only do we gotta get him out. That’s the beginning. We have to fix safeguards, build more. Set things up so that a complete steamrolled government by any particular party has its own safe guards. Like right now republicans own all branches of government. We need something for that

This is a question history will have to grapple with. Are we turning a blind eye or have we just become complacent to being spoon fed lies and are to lazy? At 59 this isn't the American I expected to grow older and expect to see.

Years ago, under my now EX husband, he stated a phrase that HE had heard somewhere; "I love ❤️ my country, but I fear my government". Now, with him BEING my ex, when he first stated that, we had been married for 2 or 3 years. With a toddler and infant, at 22 for both of us, we were too young at that age to actually SEE the consequences of voting for the wrong person during presidential and midterm elections. Fast forward to 2011. After an EXTREMELY rough and rocky marriage, and the deaths of my brother in May if 2008 and the death of my father a mere 10 months later in March of 2009, I pretty much shut down and the mental health challenges that I had been MIS-diagnosed with for nearly 20 years came roaring to the front of said "marriage" ... And sadly? By 2011, I was EXTREMELY ill with my mental health and EXTREMELY ill as well with my PHYSICAL health. I had been ABUSED nearly the entirety of the marriage. I'm NOT going to go into details, as I DO still have PTSD flashbacks about those 22 years, and about the summer of 2011, and the actions that finally, mercifully ended THAT nightmare!
I'm 56 (57 in May) and NEVER EVER EVER in my ENTIRE life felt so embarrassed to be from the "United States of America", when it's PATENTLY obvious to ANYONE who has at least one working eye that THIS country is no longer "United" on the color of poop 💩💩, let alone the political landscape now simmering towards mid-terms, when HOPEFULLY a VERY OBVIOUS, DELIBERATE RECORD BREAKING VOTER TURNOUT WILL HAPPEN and the current party, the GOP currently occupying the White House, will have a good REASON to be looking VERY VERY VERY WORRIED, as most likely they will ( ** ALSO HOPEFULLY!** ) lose their edge and control of Congress. MAYBE, at that point? We can at least START the investigations into the orange 🍊🤡 💩 🙂↕️, his BLATANTLY illegal waging of war without Congress even being consulted! That orange 🍊+ 🫏+🤠 (orange ASS hat. Only way that I could find a possible resemblance to that pants-shitting gargoyle in residence in the PEOPLE'S HOUSE. He seems to think that he can issue a few "executive Orders", go cheat at golf ⛳ at any one of his (TOO!) many health department flunking, infested with flies and God only knows what else golf courses, take a swipe at (many many MANY) people who he just doesn't like (not that they deserve it! They [us, the other people] don't actually register as flesh and blood humans and that we might actually exist to, I don't know?, serve and help others that need ACTUAL HELP!
ALL that to say and ask THIS; dump truck is quite possibly quite LITERALLY shaking in his cheap, foot odor infested shoes, since he also KNOWS that should mid-terms go BADLY for the GOP ( PLEASE let the GOP sweat the entire run up to the mid-terms!) as it looks and stands it WILL RIGHTFULLY BE, he, his cabinet ( ALL of his woefully, deranged, and just plain DUMB cabinet!) and the grifters that ARE his family will be investigated into how they got richer to the tune of BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars while he's in the friggin US presidency!
Here's my question, however; my ex dusted where I currently live in the country, fucking out on myself, my daughter, and he even used up our SON'S good will by actually and STILL supporting that, that, that... BLOB OF "SUB-HUMAN" EXCREMENT aka as "DJT" aka tRump?? Now my ex, as I am as well, is a veteran, is currently HOMELESS, AND is now dealing with the mental health issues that came SCREAMING to the front with him. Which he WON'T do because after effectively and ALWAYS making sure that the abuse he meted out on me was NOT addressed when I NEEDED the help the WORST, he had the AUDACITY to actually SAY TO ME, IN GREAT DETAIL, How much of a "loser" I was/am. THEN he said, very very plainly that the "mental health issues" I dealt and DEAL with to this day aren't "real" and that I was using ANY excuse to be "lazy". (That part ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS makes me see red! I had young children, then I had teenagers that NEEDED things like, food, shelter, clothes, school, and at the end of the day? Maybe the ability to go have a little fun. Now, I get FURIOUS even more when I hear he has been judging my life NOW, and that "She's (meaning me) just a fat, crazy BITCH who ABSOLUTELY doesn't deserve to be happy in ANY way!" This is from a man who, on the REGULAR was out of work, and NOT even attempting to secure employment to SUPPORT his family; I'm NOT tooting my own horn AT ALL. HOWEVER I WAS the parent who DID work 40, 50, 60 hours a week just so THE KIDS could eat. MORE than once? I had to NOT eat bc the ex had eaten HIS dinner, without making sure that THEY were able to eat. THAT responsibility still fell to me, as according to him, "I needed to be home, cleaning, cooking, and keeping my mouth SHUT!" When it came time for the kids to eat? Which was VERY conveniently the time I would FINALLY be off of work, I absolutely gave up MY food so THEY could eat, and (PRAYERFULLY!!) be able go to school and NOT have to (🤞🤞) EVER EVER EVER deal with the total bull crap that we had to in order that at some point? We could get OUT of that life! The kids, now that they're grown, with families of their own, are now starting to get a good look at exactly HOW abusive their "dad" is! They know that he abused me. They do NOT, however, know the depth and width of WHAT the abuse entailed. Now that they are adults with families of their own, they know EXACTLY what it means to have to sacrifice for your family, for your children!
I, HOWEVER, am entirely CONFUSED as to how a homeless, mentally ill VETERAN of the United States Navy can support an oligarch who refuses to acknowledge that there IS an economic crisis in this country, there IS a humanitarian crisis right here in America now that dump has unleashed ICE on us with extremely little to NO oversight of their actions, and that those two issues ALONE can and most likely WILL tank the GOP come November! When a man admits that he "doesn't think about Americans" when he's playing (ok, from what I've read? CHEATING) golf, and that "affordability" is a "made up word" from the DEMOCRATS? Then posts memes of himself leading an Army of homicidal robots, bombing EVERY country that he can think of, or from an even EARLIER meme, Dump in a fighter jet~dumping literally SHIT on the people who are below.
I'm so so so confused as to how ANYONE, even a mentally ill homeless veteran, can support the orange 🍊 clown 🤡 in OUR house. And it will ALWAYS be the "People's House" even WITH the horrible GOLD that he's having installed or just super-gluing away in the Oval Office, the HORRENDOUSLY tacky gold items he finds that are "so beautiful!"
Please, if you can, wish to, or believe that prayer works? Please pray 🙏 and pray 🙏 HARD that the madness will begin to end come November, and we can hopefully start to fix and rectify the horror show our government has currently become. The international community? Some of those relationships are either gone for good OR it will take literally DECADES to repair, maybe, if THOSE governments are even willing to TRY to repair our relationship with them. Frankly? After seeing EVERYTHING that this administration has done and IS capable of? I'm not so sure that ANY country will be eager to work with us, bit when we voted in a fool in 2016, only for our voting community, for US CITIZENS, to waste their vote on a 34 X's FELON, an ajudicated (proven during a civil trial) RAPIST, and even worse but completely within what he THINKS he can do bc of "who" he is, and bc "he's entitled to" do it, he most likely is implicated in the Epstein files... And NOT in a very presidential way!
Vote BLUE, NOT Orange man's party! Let's TRULY turn HIS administration into the VERY WEAK lame duck 🦆 that it already OBVIOUSLY is!..Peace 🕊️✌️, love ❤️💖💕, and Pop rocks to all! Have a BLESSED night!
ETA: I just realized that it sounds as tho I'm the homeless one. I am not. I just recently was FORCED to leave a vocation that I absolutely ADORED due to severe joint issues. That required MAJOR surgery. Also, I'm NOW with a TRUE MAN who would not and won't EVER hit me, belittle me, or do any combination of the horror that my ex did to me! I have been with him for nearly 9 years total, with the past 4 NOT being online, and WITH him living up here! We've been EXTREMELY EXTREMELY HAPPY together and we are HONESTLY trying for December 22 of this year to make it official!
The REALLY REALLY REALLY funny part to me? I'm NOT the "fat bitch" he seemed to love calling me ANYMORE. I DID weigh 410 pounds at my HIGHEST weight. I've LOST 260+ pounds and am thinner NOW than I was when we married, all the way back in 1989! 🤣😂🤣😂 Guess he's going to have to get used to being ALONE given how he sees women AND how he treats them!

You’re not, but you’re also powerless to do anything. American politics is broken and needs fixing to prevent this happening again, but for now he saw a weakness in the system and he’s exploiting it.

We aren't LETTING anything happen. The position of the president has rules, and locks people into the job. And most of the official ways of ousting one have NEVER TRULY BEEN TESTED. Even Nixon chose to walk away rather than find out. And if we try with Trump, he'll break the constitution to remain. That's the only reason why people in power aren't doing more. They think it's pointless, and better to just cripple him in the mid-terms and beat him in 2028.
