Prosecution? Of the president who just last year got wide-ranging immunity from the Supreme Court? Or of his right-hand guy who allegedly does nothing without the president's OK?

Look, I agree with you on all points: politically, about rule of law being destroyed and also about Supreme Court being knowingly complicit. But, pushback is happening and is ignore. And it wont make change this year, not until actual catastrophe happens to America itself. Pushback can slow down descent, it can achieve improvements in the long term.

Lasting change for the better could happen only if it was possible to prosecute actual crimes that happen. As long as these are immune (which they are), things will only get worst.

And as long as half of Americans are determined to euphemism away and both side away and twist themselves into pretzels to enable and excuse, things wont get better. And then it will take massive amount of reforms to make things good again. And pretty much all the totally not pro-Trump people full off infinite benefit of the doubt towards him will suddenly loose it.
