Have we had enough of this? Then what will we do about it?

Let's start this discussion with a question about our current political situation. Have we had enough of Trump's abuse and misuse of the power of the Presidency, profiteering off the power of the office, using its power to take revenge on his enemies and making an alliance with a group intent on turning the country into a theocratic autocracy in which he benefits as dictator?

Beecause that's what's happening in the United States right now.

Let me ask another question. This is a constitutional democracy, where popular sovereignty is the primary principle of government, the consent of the governed, the "will of the people." Is what Trump has to offer what the people want? And how did we get to that point, if the answer to that question is yes?

This is not what the people of this country want.

But it was not to be. I said, and it can be checked in the record here, when Trump was first accused of these crimes upon leaving the White House that the guts did not exist anywhere to actually prosecute him, and I was right. Even when others were celebrating the indictments, over 90 of them at one point, I didn't let myself believe he would ever see the inside of a court room for anything that mattered much. That sort of thing does not happen to people like Donald Trump in this country. We resist it as if it is second nature.

Frankly, I don't think this country will benefit much from the remnants of a Trump administration. But it will be a lot better off than it us with him still in power. And it will take the collective will of the nation to get him out, because the Constitutional provisions for doing so look impossible at the moment. Reality can change things, and sometimes it has to come crashing down for people to think realistically.

But here's the bottom line. If we have had enough of this, and it appears that every day that passes adds thousands more to that list of people who have, reality will make the system work, and we will find a legitimate, legal way to get this demagogue out of the White House.

2. The last time our liberty was challenged

the thirteen small colonies came together, organized their resources, built a military force and defeated the most powerful monarchy on earth.

This little orange buffoon isn't any King George.
