You are assuming that Trump's supporters care about the continuation of democracy, which is pretty clearly often not the case.
The only person who really had the means to put an end to Trump politically after his first term was Joe Biden, and people should absolutely never forgive him for his failure on that front.
- jimkleiber 7mo agoI think when we say that an executive is the only one to put an end to another executive in power, we overlook how the problem might be that the parties have deadlocked Congress and the legislative branch is one to take power back from the executive branch.
- the_gastropod 7mo agoAaaaaabsolutely not. The president should have virtually no say in who is allowed or not allowed to run an election against them. All but 7 Republicans in the Senate voted he was not guilty in his impeachment trial. They were gifted the opportunity to do the right thing, and they unquestionably failed.
