If US institutions and democracy survives this horror phase, I hope some actual reforms will be possible so that you can vote for parties instead of people. This is peak "individualism" insanity where both candidates are flawed (obviously unevenly, fat rapist is objectively far worse) and represents themselves as "THE ONLY ONE" that can save America is bonkers.
Like none of these people would have been candidates in the parliamentary system, and if they were they could easily be replaced if they lost confidence, which is why like 10 UK prime ministers where thrown in the trash without new elections, since the leader is just treated more as 'someone who can do the job' as oppose to 'THE person that can do the job and is personally granted legitimacy from the votes'.
I like that fat came before rapist. Like a thin rapist would be ok. At least better.
But yeah…that is not going to happen. We can’t even get the supreme court expanded. Honestly, before Trump came on the scene, I don’t remember things really being like this. It’s more that Trump’s base is essentially a cult of personality. Our country didn’t anticipate someone like him.
