  • Agreed. It feels like the US constitution was never finished as intended and the amendment process was supposed to finish it over time. But given that amendments basically cannot happen now, the whole fucking thing has been running many decades on the idea that someone exactly like trump wouldn’t gain power. Seriously this motherfucker is precisely the opposite of what a leader always was imagined to be. Someone inept, stubborn, and selfish to an alarming degree. A literal criminal. A known pedophile and rapist. A known con artist and fraudster. Every other fuckig president at least cared how people saw them so they tried to limit negative coverage. Trump seems to thrive on it, and it’s revealed what a piece of shit our system is. The checks and balances were only traditional and not required. The president can literally commit heinous crimes and nothing but talk. In most any other government he probably would’ve been in prison the rest of his life for inciting an insurrection, bare minimum. In this pathetic system we can impeach him and then people either shrug their shoulders about how you “can’t prove it” or argue that he did nothing wrong when EVERYONE KNOWS HE ABSOLUTELY DID. What he did was like yelling fire in 100 crowded theaters at once, except in addition to trampling deaths we nearly lost what shred of democracy was left.

    I think any government not making major changes every 30-50 years is doomed to fail. It’s so obvious that the system is broken, yet anyone trying to talk about it is screaming into the void and (basically) nothing changes.
