        Because it’s a mistake to think that Trump is the root cause of the issue, and if you’re putting your hopes into things changing for the better once he’s gone, you’ll be disappointed.

        But you have to properly acknowledge the scope of the problem to start working on it effectively. This is a systemic issue, not an individual one.

          I know and I believe we need to read up on history.

          Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.

          If he was thrown in jail after Jan 6 like a common criminal along with the rest of the mob, the Nazis would be all back in hiding now.

            You’re absolutely right but the previous president decided to wait four years to even charge him, after he’d already won the '24 Republican nomination, in order to pretend like he was taking action without risking actual consequences for Trump that might prevent him from winning the election for them.
