      Ok, sure, but everything going on now is illegal on paper too. Trump is an illegitimate and illegal president. He is guilty of insurrection and can not hold any public office. Yet here we are. He tried to steal the last election and is guilty. And here we are. He SAed little kids. And here we are. He has broken thousands of laws that and one of which would put you or I in prison for a long time. And here we are. And on and on.

      Please don’t hide behind the “but legally he can’t” or “but the system works this way”. He has proven time and again that laws don’t matter and rules don’t matter as long as enough people let his crimes slide.

      Yes states run elections, but what stops him from just declaring certain states as fraudulent or whatever lie he comes up with? If enough people go along with the lie he will continue on.

      He shouldn’t even be president NOW! Per the damn US Constitution that we are ALL just ignoring by letting him have power and a 2nd term!!! So please don’t pretend he can’t or won’t try to get a 3rd term and more.

      Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

      I’m not mad at you, it’s at him, but wtf he keeps getting away with all the horrible things and no one stops him, it probably won’t stop until he dies.

        If you follow enough of the court battles you’ll see that he’s not getting away with it all.

          Oh, I know that. But he’s getting away with the ones that truly matter.

          Just him holding office instead of being in prison for 20 life sentences being THE BIG ONES.

            That’s not even close to true. Every single vindictive prosecution has fallen apart. There’s quite a few more important cases he’s losing but those don’t make the big headlines or get drowned out by the war.

      Which won’t stop the GOP officials to do what they’re being told, will it?

      I think the systems resiliance to Trumps influence we saw when he lost the first time can’t be taken for granted, given one of the first things he did when regaining power was installing loyalists in many positions.
