I’m not from the US so all of this is baffling. In Europe and even South America there’s tons of mechanisms to stop that from happening, and this kind of meddling would seriously result in arrests. However this is happening in the US with these people going completely unchecked. How is that even possible?!
twice the orange shit was impeached, and the republicans did not remove him from office.
then the orange shit was found guitly of 34 felonies and was let off the hook. technically convicted but no punishment.
the systems, checks and balances that should have prevented this situation were tried, but congress / senate did not hold him accountable and punish him. they figured they would end up with more power and money if they let him do what he wanted and so are letting him.
that’s basically it. unless there’s some sort of miracle (and i really doubt there will be) democracy is over in the united states. you just watched the grand old experiment fail.
