It's crazy that he was allowed to run again, win and amass much, much more power. The next attempt will be much worse.


“Allowed” to run and win? He won the majority of the popular vote.

If America did didn’t want him, they wouldn’t have voted for him.


> He won the majority of the popular vote.

That is false. Trump won the plurality of the popular vote. He got more votes than any other candidate, but it did not exceed 50% of the votes cast.


If you want to split hairs about 49.81%, that’s fine. You can say plurality.


What they mean by "allowed" is that the President can and should be convicted of treason for preventing constitutional processes such as elections.

Brazil had the balls to do it. The fact that America didn't just shows that American constitution, democracy, and people are fragile. If people don't even want to protect their own constitution - the country is already a banana republic.
