We could kick our idiots out every 4 years while you still had divine right kings who had to be carried out feet first so you could get rid of them.

Our system was written for a world that proceeded more slowly and our rapid change of leaders shocked that world for a very long time. Now that system can respond to lunatics in office, but it takes time to build a solid case that will get them out despite total support from their own parties. We don't respond as quickly as parliamentary systems because we don't have that system. While that has been a liability in some administrations, it has conferred remarkable stability in others. For instance, Obama, our first African American president, would have been pitched out of office quickly by a Republican Congress had the process not been so cumbersome.

Even now our Asshole is having his wings slowly clipped as his most trusted advisors have been picked off as Russian operatives. He is being isolated and once isolated, I do think he will be gone. Either he will resign or he will be impeached and removed.

Have patience. We know he is insane. We defeated him in the popular election. He has no mandate and little popular support left, despite his preening and posturing.

This too shall pass, as anyone who has ever been constipated knows.
