I think this is one of those times in history where there's a strong consensus among the public that he's a corrupt pedo who needs to be removed from office and face justice, however, that can't happen because the institutions that are supposed to keep people like him in check are so gutted and corrupted that they're effectively useless. Congress, federal agencies, the states, and the supreme court are supposed to hold him accountable, but they aren't because Trump and his cronies control just enough of each of these institutions to paralyze them. That's kind of fascism works, you lie to people to get into power and then erode every institution to cement yourself there forever.
