They could have not caved for his pro russian demands at the RNC in 2016. They could have said "I don't support Trump" before the 2016 election. They could have said no to his shit Supreme Court Nominations. They could have reigned in presidential powers instead of giving him more.
They could have impeached him for being bought by Russia at any time between 2017 and 2020, they could have impeached him for extorting Ukraine in 2020. They could have impeached him for an insurrection in 2021, or declared him as having violated the 14th amendment at any point after 2021.
They could have not supported him in the election 2024, they could have left the party at any time after the 2024 election, they could have not voted for his cabinet picks in 2025, they could take power from him and give it to congress.
They can impeach him.
But they refuse to do any of it.
LOTS of blame to the Heritage Foundation, but the spineless Republicans in Congress allowing this are absolutely to blame as well. They are enabling AND perpetuating it.
Somehow, the Republican party decided, it is worth a loss of more than $10 trillion in market capital, send us into recession, lose essential govt services, weaken national security and destroy relations with friendly nations, in order to give their sponsors $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the rich.
The voters too. He told them over and over again what he was going to do. AND he was very clear that the entire government would be staffed by people who agree with him.
And the people who decided it wasn’t important enough to bother voting against him bc Kamala’s not a perfect flawless angel who would instantly usher in a utopian era of peace for the entire world with a solution to every problem ever pulled directly out of her own personal ass.
They deserve more blame, because they are not all (many perhaps) psychologically paralyzed narcissists hell bent on selling out our country to evil dictators while lining their pockets with untraceable crypto bribes from earth's worst people. THEY KNOW BETTER! Yet they refuse to help us.
I think every state is the same at this point but if you live in North Carolina are Republican legislature is absolutely evil Like they tried to completely eliminate the power of the governor because the guy they wanted didn't get elected. They are evil straight up.
You also have to consider how, as a society, toxic people like Trump and his entourage could so easily rise to power. This is a massive systemic failure.
Save some blame for McConnell. He should have shut this this down when he had the chance. Then there was Garland, who was asleep at the wheel. And the 70 million who couldn’t be bothered to vote in 2024, own a piece of this fiasco. There is plenty of blame to go around. Plenty.
State-level Republicans spent at least 15 years finding ways to deny Democratic voters through suppression, gerrymandering and trickery across the country. In a fair election she would have won.
Greedy, heartless billionaires made trump president (twice), imo they carry more blame than the delusional trump himself. As do the GOP and particularly main ghouls like Mitch McConnell, who could have stopped him.
This. Gopers are power hungry hyenas who will go any distance with their god king. Death of prosperity will not motivate them. The only tool to budge them is Primary.
And their voters who would rather see their retirement accounts, work projects, and consumer prices go up in flames than to admit they screwed up supporting the Orange Outrage.
You're right. It only takes a cabinet to 25th amendment him, or a few Congresspersons to help impeach him. Instead they're serving Kool-Aid to Americans.
And it’s a global recession. The rest of us had no vote in this debacle but are suffering too. Time for Americans - especially Republicans - to find some courage and stop this.
Yes, yes, yes. The tendency to focus exclusively on a single villain and ignore the entire villainous system and organization behind them is a big problem. This is the GOP's doing. They own all the evil, cruel, and destructive actions and by products. We need to raze the party and salt the earth.

Thank you, Mark.
Republicans could stop all this at any time.
NO SINGLE PERSON has the power to move the needle. It's always about the enablers and their motives.
But it is on the GOP.
Everyone with an R by their name who has passively acceded to this. Everyone, national, state & local. Every R voter.
Rs own this.
Every R gleefully or silently owns this.
