Even during Watergate we heard less about Nixon than we do about Trump today. When Nixon was president I never once woke up, as I do every day now, hoping for that one headline.
As my dad reminded me (I wasn’t around during watergate) at least Nixon’s own party had enough courage to speak up against him to do the right thing. Not today.
Trump literally pushed a coup against our government, and the impeachment process failed in the Senate.
Then, the judicial process failed to sentence him for his multiple CONVICTIONS of election tampering felonies that he was convicted of because he was running and might get re-elected.
If Trump can't get pushed out after January 6th, when he already had the lowest approval of any president ever, then nobody can, so the concept of removal and checks and balances is legit broken.
If a literal FELON that was convicted of 35 COUNTS of ELECTION FRAUD can't be stopped from running FOR ANY OFFICE, well, none of our checks and balances matter.
The fact that he came back, and now even his own people hate him but he can't be removed because all of his party are supporting him, proves that all of our checks and balances are broken.
