It’s really enraging watching this pile of shit just do whatever the fuck he wants literally all the time with zero consequences ever.

Trump has revealed that we have no guardrails against a hostile takeover of our government from within.

In complete fairness, we DO, they're just not functional because they're also compromised.

Trump is the figurehead of the problem for sure but when congress is paralyzed and the courts are partisan, there's nobody left to check executive power.

Bruh that's like saying you have a car it just doesn't have an engine. It's not a car any more.

I'd argue there were never guard rails. Just the illusion of guardrails held together by norms. The only thing that stopped people from doing whatever the fuck they wanted was a sense of decency and patriotism. But republicans have been slowly testing the water for years now and Americans willingly elected this freak. Good luck

I mean, what even are guardrails besides just other people makes decisions?

Yeah, guard rails don't work if you just jump straight off the edge.
