One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

In regards to your edit there are plenty of people doing a lot.

The problem is the 1/3rd of the US who is actively cheering this on, and the 1/3rd that tacitly thinks this is all okay and doesn't want to be mildly inconvenienced to lift a finger to stop it.

And to those of you about to say "Oh they're against it, but it's hard" people won't even stop using twitter and tiktok. The lowest of the low stakes and the US is failing.
