Americans voted.
And then there was the Americans who stayed home and did not vote,vote.
American Democracy has value and power only if you rely on it by actually voting. By not voting you turn over the playing field to criminal actors who have no problem burying democracy and you alive!
"Immunity from prosecution for official acts" means you can't try and convict him, personally. You CAN still take every single one of his moronic acts through the judicial system to determine its legality and constitutionality.
"means you can't try and convict him, personally."
It also means the laws are no longer equally enforceable and as such the the u.s. can no longer claim to be a democracy.
I disagree. I think you are painting with an overly large brush. In these times, we have to be very semantically correct.
Immunity for the President (for official duties) is a minor technical SCOTUS determination and has nothing to do with our democracy and the rule of law.
