Removing Trump from office would require votes from some Republican Party members in Congress, and so far not enough are willing to vote for it.

He's been impeached twice, in his first term when Democrats controlled the House of Representatives, which is where impeachment happens. But removing a president requires trial and conviction in the Senate, and enough Republicans there voted against conviction. Several presidents have been impeached; none have been convicted.

My belief is that the right wing in the US has almost absolute information dominance over a segment of the population. They can say anything and that segment will believe them and support it.

Nationalism is a hell of a drug. It is what start WWII.

I fail to see how a leader throwing tantrums all the time is interpreted as strong. To me, it seems like a weakness and a character flaw.

You are a lost cause, but a lot of people love ranting old men.

I understand what your saying but I believe it's too much of an excuse. Every single person has a degree of personal responsibility to be at least somewhat informed on the state and happenings of your nation. A democracy simply cannot function otherwise.

I completely agree about responsibility. At the same time, we can't close our eyes, on principle, to the fact that people can be influenced or we will paralyze ourselves about a critical problem.

If the US makes it out of this in one piece, the Republican Party will likely be ended, at least for a very long time. This is now existential for them and they know it. That’s why they’re all going along with it.
