    I’d say most are ‘aware’ but treat a good deal of his bullshit with all the seriousness of a toddler throwing their latest tantrum.

    We got a 40T debt Starting wars every which way Deporting anyone darker skinned than his daughter Pilfering everything in reach Planetary climate destruction because drill drill drilll Etc…

    Things like totally officially renaming the Gulf and lake and similar stupidity that will be undone with EO one of a subsequent sane admin doesn’t really register.

      What do you propose?

      There are already massive protests, he’s constantly getting sued and losing, a lot of families have been split up by the left wing and whilst Murdoch media sucks their dicks, a lot of other journalists don’t.

      Other world leaders have also been telling him to fuck off, including Iran (who are in the firing line).

      Everyone wants to be a hero, but unfortunately, the problem was that everyone was caught off guard by how much his dementia had degraded.

      No different to the Vegas shooting where every right wing wanker thought if they were there, they would have stopped it.

      When I visited America a week ago, nobody was wearing maga anything

      The problem is they got too many votes by gullible people, but he’s rating poorly even on fox now

      The real test is the midterms and what Democrats do immediately after if they have the votes to force him out of power, and create new legislation to reverse everything

      They have to follow the law, otherwise, it won’t work long term

        This is the catch, chances are they won’t have it. They’ll likely have the house and maybe even a majority of the Senate, but I don’t think there’s even a way for them to get 2/3 of the senate, so some of the Rs would have to grow a spine and look to reign him in.

        They would have the capacity to withhold fundings, which he tends to just take money from wherever and he wants anyhow, and could impeach him a 3rd time, bit actual removal is unlikely. So what to do is ever the question. Constant investigations and if they somehow claim the senate it opens some doors.

        The problem becomes he does whatever he feels like and nobody can do shit in the proper channels because unlike with Nixon people are too firmly set on team sports mentality to dare take a stand without checking with their image people and a dozen polling places to decide if it’s safe.

          Again, he CONSTANTLY gets sued by them. Impeaching a 3rd time at this point is pointless, and actually helps Republicans, because it takes resources away from democrats from doing things which are more effective. There are limited resources, and its important to use them on things that DO work

          They’ve done things with their power like block the renaming of the kennedy centre, and now, block Trump from trying it again at all.
