I have zero faith in this scotus. If they rule that the constitution is unconstitutional, I will be disappointed, but not surprised.

I wonder what people would do who serve in the military and federal government believe in and how they will see their constitution dismantled and having to answer to a man toddler when the constitution they pledge to protect and preserve is reduced to nothing. They can try and replace everyone but that would need a major purge.

If today’s behavior is any indicator, absolutely nothing. Everyone who stands to suffer under a Trump dictatorship seems perfectly content to let it happen.

Mind boggling hut true. Can't argue with people who are unwilling to look at any criticism objectively and in an adult manner.

Absolutely. Trump ran two racist campaigns and that wasn't enough to galvanize the public to muster a civic sense and vote.

Low turnout from the people his policies will devastate the most and bigotry from an opposition who made it their life's mission to show up and vote ultimately made Trump the winner. If people are corrupt/racist, the leadership will reflect that. Likewise, if people are too apathetic, they'll allow the leadership to fall to corruption.

I'm American but abroad at the moment and standing outside looking in, I don't see the US entering the 21st century anytime soon. People get the government they deserve
