    Did I suggest tearing anything down? Calling for reform doesn’t involve tearing anything down.

    As it stands, there won’t be anything left to reform or save if we let Trump have his way with the country.

      And who is a viable alternative to the Democrats for the 2026 midterms which is the next chance we have to gain back some power?

            A critical mass of Americans need to demand better - and soon. I do what is in my power to move things towards that direction.

            What are you doing?

              But that’s not how the government works.

              Americans voted in the house, the senate, the POTUS and the SCOTUS and the next chance we have to change any of that is the midterms.

              Who are the alternatives to the democrats then?

                But that’s not how the government works.

                That’s the problem - the government isn’t working.

                Have you been paying attention? We have a felon as our president, who is ignoring his oath to uphold the constitution and is bypassing due process. He is also in contempt of court. He is committing crimes daily and is destroying our economy and our country’s soft power.

                We’re supposed to have checks and balances. Republicans are trying to make Trump effectively immune to being held in contempt of court.

                Are we supposed to sit around and consent to this?
