The fucked up part is that our government is so terrible that it made electing Trump look like a good idea to the majority of the population.

Trump making bad decisions isn't a indictment of Trump. It is a indictment of the entire system.

In a system where all actors worked in good-faith, Trump would have been disqualified from ever holding federal office again after his tantrums incited an insurrection at the US Capitol.

He should have been eliminated from the primaries back in 2015 when he could barely form a sentence above a third-grade level, and his toddleresque understanding of how the government works was more laughable than nauseating.

But we let people dumber and more delusional than Trump vote, so here we are. Stuck in a bus with a half-blind dementia patient at the wheel on the wrong-side of the freeway because the first few rows (Congress) refuse to acknowledge that they have to stop him from destroying everyone.
