3. "It is time for Trump and his criminal regime to end."

True.

Unfortunately, the mechanics of American governance don’t afford the people the means by which to end the fascist Trump regime.

The impeachment process is dead the consequence of Senate Republicans’ refusal to convict a sitting president, although voting to convict was perfectly appropriate and warranted for all three presidential impeachments that went to the Senate for trial.

The judicial process is hopelessly corrupted by a Supreme Court dominated by conservative ideologues who have codified unitary executive dogma and placed presidents above the law.

And the process to amend the Constitution that might restore and strengthen the country’s legal guardrails is pointless as any such proposed amendments would be opposed by Congressional Republicans and Republican controlled states.
