You have no fucking idea what the political landscape will be in 6 months.The Senate is still firmly in Republican hands. Trump is a masterful player of the mass media, distracting the gullible from the work being done to dismantle our democracy and shovel favors into the pockets of elite donors. No way they'll dump him; he's way too good at his job.
The very fact that he's an acknowledged criminal and yet has remained in office for 2 years and counting is itself incontrovertible evidence that our government is completely broken and utterly fails to represent We the People- and in fact no longer even bothers to keep up the act of trying.
If Bob Woodward and the rest of the Pentagon Papers crowd tried the same thing today, our country would use the 'Just Us' system to do the same thing to them as we're currently doing to Julian Assange, a man who has broken no laws.
Compare February 1974 to August 1974.
And republicans will bail fast as soon as it influences their reelection chances.
Did you see that 63-37 vote last week?
There is definitely hope. There's always hope, but you are somewhat negative about the future.
I see the glass as half full.
