It's incredibly depressing. But somehow there are still consequences for actual actions. We're so dispersed there hasn't been a point where someone has said they are going to oust him, and if they succeed whoever helps support won't get hung as a traitor.

Even if someone were to assassinate Trump, no one is organized to replace him. Vance isn't any better, nor anyone really in line. We can't just cut off Trump, we need to cut out the entire rotted party and treat every single one of them as traitors.

why would it ever?

most people do not care about politics. never have, never will.
