but nothing I see ever makes me feel like our people and the American people are together in this.

Why are you taking Trump and his admin at its word instead of finding other sources? There are thousands of youtube accounts, blogs, songs, hosted websites, and independent media organizations dedicated to rebuking trump. There are protests every weekend all across the country. What would make you feel like you and the American people are in this together? Is only full blown political revolution the litmus for it?

It's been nearly a decade of this and your populous by and large has done nothing about it. I don't know what the answer is but it's got to be SOMETHING. He's broken at this point I don't even think it's an exaggeration to say thousands of laws. He's empowering people to ride roughshod over your countries institutions and yet the insistence still seems to be that this somehow needs to "work it's way through the system". Trump is breaking your systems faster than they can grind through his mountain of felonies. There isn't a system that's in place that's going to stop this, but the populous insist there is. Collectively, nobody does anything because they still largely believe that the "system" is going to work.
