Maybe if he does enough damage and everyone really feels it for a while it will change things. I've always said the only way politics will change is if the Republicans actually get their way for once. Well they're getting their way now. Even Trump's first term was mostly the same as earlier conservatives--a tax cut and then pretty much nothing. This is just all of their extreme desires being carried out. Every republican is going to feel it.
They do, just Look into the conservative subreddit. Is insane. As a german i am exceptionally disgusted. cause if one half of the country enables a Dictator and the other half does nothing against it ... well history will judge, just like it judged ALL germans.
GW Bush was president for 5 years with a Republican House and Senate. Worth noting the entire global economy melted down toward the end of that period. So it's not like this hasn't happened before. Somehow they managed to re-frame that time period as "That time Democrats made a bunch of poors buy houses they couldn't afford" and their followers actually deeply believe that narrative.
Nothing? January 6th was unforgivable. Unfortunately, it seems legal if you have enough money, and thug followers who will rain death threats upon anyone who questions an Evil Chauncey Gardener.
At that point it may not matter for us. We can try to turn things around but there's no reason for our trading partners to ever trust us again. We've shown that every 4 years there is the possibility that a bunch of the dumbest citizens will get together to elect someone who will purposefully crash the economy and shit all over our allies.
