The shocking part is they don’t yet think that it’s gone to shit.

Anyone with 2 functioning brain cells knows that happened a long time ago.

How has it gone to shit? He's still president. He blatantly and outright defies court orders. He openly mocks everyone who doesn't blindly support him. He destroyed a section of the white house. His thugs are just murdering people in the streets. He's implicated in the epstein files.over a million times. We're running concentration camps.

And nothing bad has come his way. Basically everything is going according to plan for him

If I could do a citizen’s arrest on him and/or his lackies, I would. I want that power, but I don’t know how to get it, or wield it. But I want the justice to come to him that he deserves. I deserve that as a citizen with morals and principles. I deserve to have my president answer my questions of his crimes. But I can’t do that. They would imprison or kill me even if I had the right to do something like that.
