No Stupid Questions

Because enough of the people who would be responsible for stopping this senile psychopath see him as THEIR senile psychopath and they're more interested in seeing the people they don't like get hurt than they are in preserving the rule of law or the constitution. The rest could try to send a message by pushing for articles of impeachment, but the message it sends is entirely wrong if and when he's just fully acquitted by his ruling party.

This incidentally is a big part of why the mid-term election is going to be so important. If his shitstick cronies get thrown the fuck out then maybe something useful will actually get done about him.

Guess what, the constitution of the People's Republic of China also has freedom of speech... see how that turns out in practice...

A constitution just a piece of paper.

It's like paper money, it only has value if people believe it has value.

For the rule of law, that means those in positions of power, the 3 branches of government, the military, and ultimately, the people collective action/inaction to hold the government accountable.

Because when he is coherent he hates the right people.

Because hes a fascist and pro fascists will love him no matter what because fascists are fucking morons.

Because he must serve 2 years so when they hit him with the 25th, Ol' Couchfucker McGuyliner can reign 2 years and then run two more times.

Because Mitch McConnell and the regular corporate GoP have been planning this for decades, getting legal precedents in place, getting judges into the right spots across the US, all of it.

The religious right were used as tools by them and the GoP elite always assumed they had exclusive control of them. Then Trump comes along and upends their control, and now Trump is a barely present fool and the religious right(see: Stephen Miller) are in full control of all three branches of the US fed.

Because trump is largely irrelevant.

His job is distraction-in-chief. He's just a dumb patsy - a role he's spent his life perfecting.

His business career was just laundrering russian mob money, and his political career is just drawing fire from the rich cabal looting the american empire before there's nothing left to loot.

Plenty of people are telling him to piss off, it doesn't matter anymore, he has the keys to the castle.

He's also surrounded by a cabal of the worst people humanity has to offer, who are taking this opportunity to get as much abhorrent shit done as they can before he kicks the bucket and this weird cult of personality they have dies with him.

None of them are interested in stopping this train, they're getting everything they dreamed of and more.

Half of the US agrees with him. The other half thinks AOC's snappy comebacks being shared on Reddit are more than enough to stop him. The US is a shithole with only two viable parties, so the end result is what you see.

Release the Epstein files in their entirety!

Nazis. And the pedophiles that run the US will protect the pedophile in the White House.

I was talking to a dev who worked at Facebook  He told me the information on internet is not public. Its curated by google and Facebook, sure the information is there but they ensure what people see.

He gave an example of how people have accepted the premise of cloud storage and apple and google removed SD card slots from phones and there was no backlash. Its because they shadownban the users who protest and put post and comments which are neutral or supportive in front of masses.  He gave another example which I forgot.

People have stopped using common sense and are heaving addicted to screens and big tech and politicians know it hence at President Trumps inauguration he has all big tech leaders right in front as he know the public is addicted to screen which can be used to exploit and extract.

So to answer your question, there is backlash but its all online and those users are being profiled and there post don't get much visibility hence we see no protest coz others think there no backlash, nobody cares so why should I.

That’s how democracy works

The will of the people is greater than the laws as written

The people voted for Trump, a Republican congress, and by extension a Republican Supreme Court

It’s working as intended

A disgustingly low percentage of the US population votes in non-presidential elections. The right-wing has spent the better part of the last century stacking the deck at every level of government. The invention of the internet makes it harder for them to maintain this though (much easier to find out who/what you're voting for) but that's going to take a while for a long-term impact to be noticeable

Because of the illusion of democracy..

I wish we could keep Trump out of every single community.

Pride. Simple answer. Public image, foot hold, etc... ass holes trying to hold onto wealth they don't deserve. Public kindness is protecting them. If they admit he's wrong, they're wrong, and that's an admission of guilt. They'll die before we experience them changing. All we can do is fight back loudly and quietly.

Edit: I was drunk when I said this I and don't know what I was saying.
