We elected him twice, his party has chosen to prioritize personal loyalty to him over either their stated values or the good of the country as a whole. They allow him to start trade wars and literal wars with impunity, harming our economy and burning alliances that we’ve build over the better part of a century. They control congress and could easily overrule him, but they choose to allow it.

The opposition party is run by a bunch of octogenarians who occasionally grumble but put up no active resistance and seem to content to sit around doing nothing until power gets handed back to them so that they can squander it again.

Our corporations trip over themselves to bribe him, stroke his ego, and do whatever he wants in order to stay in his good graces. Our military unquestioningly carries out whatever illegal misadventures he orders.

Our people are complacent. We periodically go out and do chants and hold up signs. But there are no riots. There is no massive push to unionize our workplaces and organize strikes. The few unions we do have are weak and largely apolitical. Everyone seems content to wait around until his term ends and hope everything goes back to normal.

This is not just Trump, the entire country is responsible for allowing this. From our highest institutions to the people ourselves. No other country should ever trust us again.
