I don't think I'd lump us all into one pot. Plenty of people are angry/protesting/filing lawsuits. Biggest issue = too many stupid voters (ok + white supremacists) combined w/ ones who just stayed home - of which there were more than voted for any candidate. Lazy? Ignorant? Both?

NINETY MILLION that's a lot of votes, but also a lot of reasons why. Cannot lump them together except to say if even half - or even a quarter - had voted, it might well have been a different outcome.

If the rule of law "worked" we would not have the Orange Idiot in the White House. Nor the whole "DOGE" business, nor ridiculous amounts of power in the hands of the man who destroyed Twitter.

One thing I don't get is why Republican congresspeople and senators are willing to cede power so willingly to Musk et al? Why bother being a congressperson if you have zero control?

The worst are the tens of millions who didn't bother to vote, IMHO.
