    It’s not enough now. Trump has always been a symptom rather than the problem, but at this stage invoking the 25yh to be rid of him would do little to help America avoid their slide into fascism

        You’re probably right, but it also opens the door to the Dems “reaching across the aisle” to “heal the country” and hitting the reset button sending us all back to 2016 to await fascisms return in 4 years.

            Start with your war criminal presidents?

            That is, to show you’re actually serious. Because the rest of the world already knows nothing, or very little is going to happen to them, if at all.

            You lost all credibility with selective outrage.

          Reset to 2016? We should be so lucky. I’ll be amazed if they have the political will to even reset back to 2024 and undo the damage that has been inflicted just this year alone.

        The last decade or so has taught me that not only is it OK, but actively encouraged…

        The only hope is that his replacement is a void of personality like Vance, and all the casual fascism fans lose interest. I can’t really imagine those losers decorating their trailers with tatty Vance merch.

    We’re no better with Vance, or Johnson, or any of the 17 republicans in the line of succession.

    There is an independent in that line. RFK Jr.

      Um…RFK jr isn’t any better. If anything he’s crazier.

      I legitimately can’t tell if RFK jr is actually evil, or just mentally deficient.

      See, to be evil, you have to be aware of what you’re doing, and how it will end up.

      To be an idiot, you just have to do things you’re clueless about.

      I can’t tell which he is.

      For the record, I think both w bush, and trump are evil. They play the idiot to avoid consequences, and it works.

        Apologies, it wasn’t meant as “At least there’s someone sane”, rather a tongue in cheek “At least they’re not all republicans (one’s an insane independent)”
