Americans are hoping the system will self-correct

Protests against Trump have not been as large or as militant as they could be. I believe this is due to people believing our institutions will eventually rein in Trump and his collaborators. Perhaps in the mid-term 2026 election. In the past it has generally always worked that way. But now, the system will NOT self-correct.

The institutions that normally steady the ship of state have been corrupted.

The terrible Citizens United decision of 2010 flooded our political system with dark money (bribes).
Republicans in congress are allowing Trump to engage in illegal, unconstitutional actions. Six members of the supreme court have also allowed Trump to engage in treasonous, unconstitutional actions.
The Justice Department has been corrupted.
Checks and balances has been disrupted.
Trump is violating international and U.S. law with attacks on Venezuela, threats to Greenland, threats to Canada.

We the People are going to have to rescue ourselves. We are the Calvary. The time is now to depose Trump and his cabinet.

@whowasthatmaskedman certainly not until after that CIVIL WAR that kills y'all massively! Then, when you have defeated yourselves, you can try democracy and government, or keep warring to the last American!
I don't care what you do.

@whowasthatmaskedman I believe Trump and MAGAs in congress will try to sabotage the mid-term 2026 election. Or even stop the election from being held at all. A first in American history. We are going to have to get much more serious about protests.

@badminton good thing nobody's going to lead a political movement or things might change!

@badminton I agree.. But so far the whole thing is going quite smoothly for the other side. Miller is a good strategist. Now if I were running it, I would isolate America politically, then collapse the economy to get the people really angry, blaming everyone else. Then declare a state of emergency with extraordinary "temporary" powers to restore order and stabilise things in a "new and better" way.. Letting local militias keep order sounds nice too..😷
