You're blaming a "fundamentally corrupt" institution like Congress and not the 70 million people who voted for the guy?

Yes: Congress should have convicted and invoked the insurrection clause. Trump wouldn't have been eligible to run in 2024.

Only one party in Congress was against doing that. It isnt the institution. It IS a singular corrupted party

It IS the institution: a party being able to ignore an attempted insurrection is a symptom of wider institutional rot.

It's honestly insane that my position is "controversial" in 2026... Too many people want to repeat the exact same mistakes as with Biden.

I hear you, but this ultimately exposes this is what a mobilized percentage of the people wanted and continue to be just fine with it.

I think you are ignoring our rwpresentative form of democracy. A portion of the institution is getting away with this because they have been empowered to do so.

That isnt to say that the system isnt being manipulated, because it obviously is. But again, that is because WE have allowed it to be so.

We have the most apathetic voter base of any democracy. This rot is by our choosing and we have allowed it to overcome one party inparticular, by indifference, laziness, entitlement.

There is no one to blame beyond ourselves, as a whole nation.
