No Stupid Questions

1. He is in to pockets of the wealthy
2. This is a coup by the wealthy to takeover the government
3. No one in government will stop him because this is exactly what they want.
4. Money

A) the Supreme Court decided the president is above the law

B) that destroyed any chance to "use the Constitution" as it dramatically undermined what few checks and balances there were

C) MAGA congresspeople willingly gave up their own power to him

D) now riots are coming

AIPAC and a few dozen rich people tell the RNC, the DNC, the supreme court, and the president what to do.

The reason it seems like the democrats are complicit is because, at the leadership level, they are.

Schumer and Jeffries are pro genocide in Gaza and pro-ICE because their future plans for America also involve genocide.

That was what the election was for.

When someone votes for a person like Trump, they are voting to not hold him accountable and to continue doing worse and worse things and to do away with guardrails, rules, rights, and all those other niceties of the socio-politico contract.

This is what every MAGA sounds like the moment their token gets spent or the chickens come home to roost for them (and emphatically not a goddamn fucking minute sooner or st any point prior) and they receive the same consequences they wanted and voted for others ("but not meeeee") to be treated with by Trump's regime

Because the red team literally doesnt care. Their team is winning, nanannanabooboo. The blue team wabts the red team to think they're cool or whatever, and pointing out the insanity gets them called crybabies, so they dont do it.

Everyone is 12

Because the usa never had any accountability policies agsinst american presidents

Because he's a meat puppet for the world's oligarchy who want him for different reasons (1) remove restrictions to global illegal transactions (2) magnify climate change denialism (3) destroy science and education (4) advance ultraconservatism, plutocracy and theocracy (5) destroy progressivism and social justice (6) give a lot of freedom to the oligarchy (7) destroy the Western world's influence to realize Dugin's idea of Russian New World Order.

Corruption

There's no simple answer, but if you look up how cults are made and operate you'll get an idea.

What you are seeing is the unmasked version of US politics. This is what US politics has always been, but it's always been a lot more covert. The political parties do not have any issue with what he is doing, they only have an issue that he is so blatant with it.

Because the constitutional methods for fixing a rogue presidency lie with the legislature. The legislature is complicit.

Unfortunately the Constitution is toothless when bad actors control anything more than like 40% of the government.

the masks are off, the US imperial machine no longer feels the need to manufacture consent

Nazis voted for nazis

Because, in my opinion, Trump has 70 years of organized crime surrounding him.

Because, in my opinion, Trump has organized violent militias to protect him.

Because, in my opinion, Trump uses the NSA as a personnel filing system for blackmailing and extorting people.

Because, in my opinion, we are all hoping that he just dies without having a civil war over his tiny teeny tiny hands.

He's enabled by some very wealthy people. And in the US wealth is more than just money, it's often the most important factor in status, popularity, and social and political power.

Even some the people screaming for empathy, understanding, and improved social programs often look down upon the poor and homeless, they just hide it behind a veneer of doing good. They want to rid the nation of poverty not because it's the right thing to do, but so that they aren't confronted with the reality of what causes poverty and the guilt they feel when they pass by someone who's panhandling.

Our nation's version of original sin is productivity. If you're alive, you must feed into the economic system, you must support yourself and not be a burden to others. If you're successful and wealthy enough, it means all lesser sins (getting bailed out with tax money, wage theft and fraud, destroying the environment, prejudice, sexual predation, etc.) will be forgiven by at least half the nation. This effect is more profound for celebrity performers.

So, if you're stable financially and not under a direct threat from the administration, you're probably upset, but your focus is going to be on finding a way to get rid of Trump and get out of this mess without winding up POOR.

You want to know why so many federal workers are still doing their jobs despite being complicit in many of the awful things that are happening? Because they don't have a way to pay the rent if they walk off the job. The job market is awful. The economy is in the shitter. Everything is super expensive, and they don't want to let their families down. Want the military and federal agents to quit? Give them a guaranteed way to pay their mortgages. Find them another job.

It's not just about luxuries and standards of living. It's about social acceptance and beloning. People will go to insane lengths to feel like an accepted member of a group. So these workers may be unhappy, even deeply upset about the direction the country is headed in, but it'll have to get worse before the sacrifice is worth it, because being in jail or being dead is only a little bit worse than being a poor person.

Same holds true for much of the rest of the nation. It's hard to risk belonging, to risk being part of our society, when there's no guarantee you won't wind up homeless and a pariah because of it.

Because congress is filled with old rotten pussies

Because wherever there are people with power, there are those who will do ANYTHING to gain access to that power. When there's no mechanism to FORCE those with power to over the law, then they won't, and their cronies will be insulated to some degree from consequences. Enough people (Congress) who could force consequences are the ones benefiting from Trump's corruption and could suffer negative consequences for turning against Trump. A lot of those guys are very old and extremely unlikely to suffer consequences if the following administration is also Republican. It's a big ugly tangle and unless somebody is willing to just arrest the Orange Jackass and all his ghouls, nothing will change.

Because he was democratically elected by the deeply stupid people of the United States and a pretty fundamental element of American democracy is that there is very little that can be done to thwart the will of the people, no matter how stupid it is.

Add to that the fact that a stupid president presents a massive economic benefit to anyone that can keep his attention for more than five minutes and he is predictably surrounded by people that benefit from his continued presence.

His mistake in the first term was trying to be a real president and surrounding himself with people who wanted the same thing. This time it's just criminals all the way down.

Because he surrounds himself with incompetent people that rely on him for their continued employment.

When he has his last burger, support collapses by quite a bit (although not nearly enough). That's why they'd quite like to not bother with elections in the future. Nobody is decorating their mobility scooters and mobile homes with Vance merch.

"I never thought the leopards would eat my face" sobs Leopards Eating People's Faces Party voter.

Because the republicans are full of low intelligence sycophants whose only goal in life is power over others. All they want to do is grift and hurt.

Because the people who didn't want him, have things to lose and are reluctant to upset their way of life in doing so. That's the American Way, is to chain and distract the populace just enough where they're interlocked in indecisiveness as to do or don't. Please do not shit on these people, I'm absolutely sure if it was entirely worth it, we would've started the 2nd Revolution by now from this tyranny that has taken hold on us.

The people who did vote for him - have nothing to lose, which is why they don't care, which is why they support everything he does.

He's a Russian asset and race horse for international tyrants, oligarch and so on.

You've heard of climate science being hijacked by Big Oil, etc.

If you have serious money and can't find your soul, you invest it in judges, politicians, shadow networks, academics, journalists, influencers, papers, even artists to push all those institutions and their effect in your favor. Divide & Conquer, psychotic narratives. etc. to keep people from anything but joining together and doing what's actually in their interest. Hijack existing conflicts, keep people afraid or blind by pleasure, with algorithms that your bought politicians and judges just let slip.

Things like that. Republicans are just the worse breed. And it's all reaching a tipping point. I've heard an expert say that if 3.5% of the population non-violently protest this shit basically shuts down. Others say it's gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better. I guess it's in the stars.

Here are the main reasons (I think) people do their dirty work.

Useful Idiots

"The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently." - David Graeber

Because he’s a useful tool of God!!!

Checks and balances have broken down at the federal level.

Because he literally has all the levers of power and the Supreme Court and they’re all owned by Israel and the Zionist oligarchs and Trump blows them just like bubba. The constitution hasn’t really been real since the patriot act and citizens united became law

He has blackmail on them. We call it the Epstein files. That's why most of it isn't released.

"If you don't, someone else will." But that only works when the population is so divided that they don't trust the average replacement to hold your standards. And then of course be proven that the next person actually doesn't hold the same standards.
