The two factors driving the end of the Trump presidency are a) the public’s perception of the first family’s blatant corruption, and b) Trump’s 0bvious loss of his cognitive faculties.

IMO, these are just two sides of the same coin; criminal insanity seems to be the common thread throughout Trump’s entire adult life.  The only thing different here is the recent amping up of the intensity, to a point where this is apparent to even the dimmest bulb in our electorate.

The Criminal Insanity Is Coming to a Close

The MAGA crowd, which considers itself to be experts in constitutional law, and likes to assert the the U.S. is not a democracy, because the Constitution puts limits on citizens’ rights.

Democracy is “a form of government in which supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by citizens or indirectly through elected representatives.” This is wrongly construed to mean that those in minority positions don’t have rights.

A republic is a form of government in which political power rests with the public. Not really imcompatible with a democracy, is it?
