    Give a significant amount of people a reminder that the president is accountable to the law, thereby changing the culture that Trump was elected into.

    No president has ever been thrown out of office. No president has ever been jailed. If you think it wouldn’t be at least a little bit easier for a country that had done that to do it again, you’re dumb.

      Are you fucking insane? You watch how the current clique shits on the constitutions, invents rules out of nothing, governs by bullying, speedruns autocracy with basically an approval from most of the country, and you think something will change if a president was thrown out of the office 30 years ago? You think all that inert mass, who does nothing when autocrat’s personal army executes people on the street, will react somehow different if only we’d jail an already unpopular president three decades ago? What a braindead take, it’s unreal.

        Clinton was incredibly popular. So popular that people still defend him today. You’re clearly too young to remember that era and are pulling this nonsense directly out of your ass.
