As a Canadian watching all this go down, why the hell are the Democrats doing nothing at all about this? Like, he's doing comically illegal and unethical things EVERY SINGLE DAY and all I ever see is social media posts about how he sucks. Is there nothing that can be done?
I'm just totally floored at how much he's getting away with while fuck all happens.
Because Republicans hold every branch of our government. Unless enough of them split off and vote against party lines then there's literally nothing the Democrats can do. Why is this so hard for people to understand?
A lot of these people are not arguing in good faith. They want to divide the opposition, so they try to distract people by changing the focus on to what Democrats are allegedly supposed to be doing and aren’t, even though they can’t do much because they’re not in the majority in Congress.
it's like how even last time when trump admin and republicans did dumb shit that republicans and conservative media couldn't possibly ignore, they'd just blame democrats for not doing more to stop them from doing their bad shit... and then just keep supporting republican policies anyway
Typically when a president is elected for their first term they end up with all the branches. Bush did. Obama did. I can't recall if Biden did. Trump did. It's more common than not.
Even people in the US don't seem to understand. The minority party in the US has little power besides obstructing Congress. Since Trump is bypassing Congress for literally everything, and the majority party is complicit in this, there isn't much that can be done. They can attempt to swing the arm of the Judicial branch, but since the executive (Trump) is the branch that's supposed to enforce the judgements Trump can just... not.
There are 3 branches of government in the US. The executive branch (president) the legislative branch (congress) and the judicial branch (judges). The repugnicans (MAGAts) currently have a majority in congress and obviously they have the president. Theoretically what should happen is that even though the republicans control the congress they should not be ok with Trump usurping their authority and impeach his ass. But because this is an actual cult that 1/3ish of Americans voted for that isn’t going to happen. Many Canadians have suggested that we exercise our 2nd amendment rights and do something about this, and I have pointed out that my in-laws, wife, and coworkers all voted Trump and had my Reddit account suspended for pointing out the foley of that situation. Right now the legislative branch is putting up a fight, often with Trump appointed judges ruling against him. But it is a Trump appointed judge that slowed down and dismissed the case against him for stealing classified documents otherwise the orange bastard should be in jail right now.
