    It used to be the people’s responsibility to hold politicians to account. Nixon didn’t resign because he felt bad - he resigned because his support collapsed. If you voted for a congressman or senator who refused to impeach Trump, you voted for making politicians above the law.

      Still is, but you nailed it. People wanted a criminal rapist who was best friends with the world’s most notorious child predator. None of what he is, was remotely hidden, every bit of it was clear and obvious. Everything that he’s doing, is things he said he would do.

      It’s still the people’s job to hold them accountable, but most people you know just wanted this (if folks couldn’t be fucked to stop this, they need gave a default stamp of approval).
