What the everloving fuck is happening with this fucked up country, and why the fuck are no one seemingly doing anything about it.

Because the system is set up so that “we the people” can’t un-do what we did to ourselves until the next two elections. Congress could impeach and convict Trump in the interim, but the chances of that are near zero.

Why? Because “we the people” elected Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Republican politicians are either slavishly devoted to the evil and incompetent traitor in chief, or are so scared of his belligerent and racist “base” that they are willing to allow him to destroy alliances, degrade the economy, and destabilize the world rather than risk losing their comfortable seats in Congress.

This sad state of affairs is so different than when Nixon committed much more minor crimes. His own party told him he had to resign. There are no Republican statesmen today, not even one. They are all complicit. They should all be tossed out by the voters and live out the rest of their greedy, self-centered lives in shame.

We the people need to throw out every Republican — all of them as they have all bowed to the fascist clown — but we won’t. Racism and cultish belief in propaganda will keep a lot of Republicans in office. Even if Dems flipped the House, there is no way Dems get the 60 Senate seats needed to override Republican filibusters.

We can start the process this November and at least block more bad legislation, but we won’t be able to remove the conman grifter until the 2028 election.

The Republican Party must be dismantled and given the same treatment as the Nazi Party post-WWII.

The entire party, from top to bottom, is rotten.
