What are you talking about? Trump was impeached over blackmailing Ukraine to intervene in the election, and for doing the coup. He was not impeached over Russiagate. And in both of those cases Trump could easily have avoided the impeachment by just not doing it. Its as clear cut a case of Trump's behavior catching up with him. And in the scenario the Republicans did their duty and removed him then he'd still be succeeded by his 2016 running mate. Had Trump been removed he'd be succeeded by the one who through democratic mandate is next in line. Had Trump's coup against Biden succeeded then Biden would have been replaced by the guy who explicitly lost the election and who had no mandate to speak of. You see the difference?The Trump-Russia collusion was a farce made-up by the Clinton campaign... It was not Trump's conduct or crimes catching up with him. Stop lying about the democrats trying to remove a democratically elected president of lies they created. Trump doesn't have the power to change a constitutional amendment. You see all this Trump fear porn and you think it's true. It's not true. Trump challenging the votes legally was not doing it "the legal way"? It all got laughed out of court yet I'm sure you've been told by your fear porn that Trump stacked all the courts yet he got laugh out of court with all his stacked courts?
Every covid policy was literally the republicans saying "let's not do that". And the corporations with tons of money that fund the campaigns donate to both, they get what they what no matter who wins. They don't even care who wins.
And the idea Trump couldn't or wouldn't sideline democracy seems disingenuous. Every single one of his demagogue peers tried to dismantle democracy so why should Trump be any different? The very fact that he did a coup to try and remain in power shows that Trump very clearly is not different from the likes of Orban or Erdogan. That he followed their playbook to the letter years before even doing the coup also shows he's not any different. The days when we could pretend far right demagogues were just democratically responsible actors who just happened to be quirky has been over for decades now. I know Americans tend not to look very much at the rest of the world but come on. Its clear who Trump admires and models himself after. Its also clear that project 2025 is there exactly to go remove any checks and balances that would prevent Trump from illegitimately furthering his power over the objections of the nation.
You can say ''laugh out of court'' all you want but that doesn't change the fact that Trump still wanted to have Pence crown him and then send a mob on the capitol when Pence was unable(not even unwilling, just unable) to do so. And that the repeated shouts of the election being ''stolen'' and his frequent court cases likely having been designed to get his supporters so enraged they'd go do the coup for him.
You're right that corporations donate to Democrats too. That's what I said. That the most damning thing about Democrats is that they are pro corporate. Its just that the Republicans happen to be pro corporate to a far more fanatical extend.
