A lot of things should've happened, given what a obvious moral and legal sewage dump that Donald Trump is, he should've gone down in flames within minutes of his announcing his candidacy. But he didn't.
Given what he said about POW's (both in 1999 and in 2015), he should've been figuratively dragged out of Trump Tower and figuratively given the Mussolini-and-his-wife treatment, in a political sense. But he wasn't.
And on and on and on and on. We all know what kind of person Donald Trump is. No need to list it all, and I don't have the physical strength to type for that long.
Instead, 62,984,828 Americans decided that these things didn't matter enough. And because of the Electoral College, the votes of 65,853,514 more Americans weren't enough to keep a man like Donald Trump out of the highest office of this country. A office wherein you swear a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, indeed the sacred institutions of this country, against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
But Donald Trump has never read the Constitution. He only expresses contempt for it.
And now because of 53 Americans in the Senate, his crimes will go unanswered.
And because of 5 more Americans in the Supreme Court, it is entirely possible that he will effectively be given the legal immunity of an unchecked autocrat, thus able to as his lawyer has argued in a court of law, be free from prosecution for anything, up to and including murder.
As I mentioned, this possibility will hinge on exactly 1 American.
And that's how democracy crumbles, one easy, painless step at a time.
