(19,066 posts)People, even on the Left, don't seem to fully grasp the dire situation we are in. Trump and his cabal are like other criminals and strongmen who've gained power in other countries, they don't just up and leave power because of some laws or elections. You're going to need a crowbar to ever get these hoodlums out of power.
And Trump is a sociopath who will resort to anything to save his own hide, up to and including full nuclear war.

Trump is a damn lawless gangster employed by the dictator of Russia to bring America to its knees.
And the republican party is giving him cover as he goes about the job.

If this fiasco didn't show the country that the Electoral College is flat-out wrong, I don't know what will.
When we get in power again we have to make safeguards so the entire government is not run by the party of corruption. The Founding Fathers, wise as they were, did not anticipate that.

(1,714 posts)The Electoral College is not a "technicality;" it's Constitutional, just as the First Amendment is.
What safeguards do you recommend to correct this situation?

(6,278 posts)Sorry, it was an obvious coup, it remains obvious. I can't figure out why so few people get this.
The goal has been achieved. The dismantling of the Federal Government.

We either win back America in the streets and the ballot box in the fall or night falls on America for good.

(19,066 posts)The legal system and the institutions of our Democracy aren't going to be enough to get them out. Trump is not going to give up power because of the legal system, and soon he won't care about the electoral system.
So trying to remove him from power using the legal and election systems might not work.

(6,797 posts)a civil war, two world wars, a Great DepressionI believe we can survive Trump. Perhaps the lesson to be learned is that we should not give the presidency and congress to one party. The consequence from this debacle is twofold a diminished presidency and diminished reverence for the presidency.
