"We The People" have generally taken the 'Fire And Forget' approach to politics and politicians; elect a person to do the job and allow the person to do it. When the elected person is not up to the job, the people will eventually own up to their mistake and fix it by replacing the failed elected person. Many people believe in the system, still.
History does not repeat itself. It does, though, rhyme. Richard Nixon was forced out of office because the people accepted the truth (no matter how distasteful). The 'rule of law' and the judicial system work and the people will accept truth and justice. The American way works for all.
The system will work under the current conditions. Do not lose heart.

(23,278 posts)Nearly half of our voting population in 2016 cast their votes for a crime lord, a traitor, a serial liar, and a white supremacist. With the aid of the Electoral College, it was enough to put this evil creature in the White House. If America is to recover, an insurmountable majority of us must realize the truth, and move heaven and earth to remove this stain from office--whether by impeachment or vote in the next election. We must start today.

(7,813 posts)We were not ready for tRump's antics during election season.
We were not ready for his horrible behavior with allies and how much of a toady he would be with adversaries.
We were not ready for the astonishing vulgarity and frightening criminality of his administration.
This list goes on for another several hours, but I hate typing on laptops. The ignorati who elected him are just going to have to get over it on their own time. They have ALL gone way too far and they won't like being snapped back to reality. Tough shit.

They have been brainwashed by Fox, Info Wars, Breitbart and all the rabid people who pass
information back and forth on FaceBook and Twitter.
Evangelicals know the truth, and do NOT care !!!
They would rather destroy this country, then to allow abortion to continue.
They ARE pro fetus.
They are NOT pro life.
Republican politicians have sold this country down the river.
They DON'T want the truth to come out !!!
The 65 million plus who voted for Hillary ARE ready for the truth !!!
Patriots are ready for the truth.
Those who know history are ready for the truth.
Trump has been trying to start a race war since the day he rode down the escalator !!!!!!!!
Republicans have enabled, aided, and abetted Trump and his base.

(11,885 posts)Deserve the complete truth on what has happened, and nothing less , or we're right back to mistrusting OUR government again. In order to restore the faith in it the truth has to come out, even the really bad stuff, or we'll never get better.

(43,266 posts)spending a few weekends reading Robert Ludlum's "Apocalypse Watch" for some idea of how global conspiracies are countered in Ludlum's fictional world.
Ludlum was a master of right wing conspiracies that seek power. To quote his Wiki biography, "terrorists, rather than being merely isolated bands of ideologically motivated extremists, are actually pawns of governments or private organizations who are using them to facilitate the establishment of authoritarian rule."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum
I've only read 2 of his books cover to cover, they are long and involved, and never saw or read his Jason Bourne series. But I do recommend "The Holcroft Covenant" in both book and movie form too.
