The sad reality is, enough Americans are happy for him to do all of these things with impunity.
What is the point of locking someone up if half the country wants them to be president?

It’s not half the country though, if the vote was representative the republicans wouldn’t have won since 1980

Almost half.

Roughly one third. I believe it’s Wyoming that gets an equal number of Senate seats as California while having one twentieth the population (I could be wrong about which state, but the statistic is the important part). My state gets the same number of representatives in that house of government with twenty times as many people. Meaning that my vote is diluted twenty times or theirs is amplified twenty times.
It’s a shit show.
