    Can he actually fix anything? Likely not. Can he inspire others to start speaking out? Likely so.

    You don’t get a movement without strong voices, which is what he seems interested in accomplishing.

      You’ll never hear about him again. One soundbyte to stay relevant and get his photo in social media. This kind of thing doesn’t spread much further than the echo chamber anyway.

      Remember when presidents used to get impeached over the smallest thing? Why hasn’t Trump? Where are the calls to Impeach him? I haven’t heard that word yet. Sounds like all these politicians aren’t too upset with the second coming of the Nazis.

      There is no resistance.

        Remember when “presidents” used to get impeached over the smallest thing?

        A president not multiple. Its nor exactly common. There has only ever been 4 presidential impeachment since since the usa formed. And only ever been one that actually happened.

        Andrew Johnson 1868 impeached by Congress and removed by the senate.

        Bill clinton impeached im 1998 but the democratic majority in the senate ignored it.

        DON’T RUMP in 2019 but the republican majority in the senate ignored it.

        DON’T RUMP again in 2021 but the republican majority in the senate ignored it.

        So trump has been half of all presidential impeachment in US history.

        You must not have been following politics when he was impeached twice during his first term and it didn’t mean anything because congress was majority republican.
