Bingo. It is an imperfect document ( nothing's perfect) so eventually some narcissist like Trump would exploit the loopholes. Your founding Fathers couldn't have imagined the crash syncopathy we see today

Nonsense. Lord North's cabinet, nicknamed "The King's Friends", was ridiculed in Britain and the colonies alike for being FAR more deferential to George III than the established doctrine of Parliamentary Supremacy required. MAGA is quite a bit like the politicians they rebelled against.
I think they would have handled it better. I think he would be out. He would have been out on J6th. If corpses really rolled in their graves they would certainly be doing it. But I think they expected something like this. They'd be disappointed in how we're handling it.
What he did on Jan 6th should have landed him in jail.
But...Politics is about power and keeping power. Republicans knew if they sent him to jail they'd be in the wilderness for a long time.
Eating at the trough vs being on the outside is a powerful motivator vs what's right
Very very disappointed IMO.
Mind you The US was built on dissatisfied people for the most part ( Puritans, etc) so I suppose today's MAGA surgence shouldn't be that big of a surprise.
I'm not saying there's not a similar discord in Canada but it's not strong enough as of now
