Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?

But we’ll see how robust American democracy is.

Yeah, forcing Trump onto the ballot despite the insurrection because congress hadn’t passed a law to enforce the constitution and then making the president a fucking king are a huge difference from 2016. Not to mention Trump appointed jusges throwing out his cases and his 34 felonies not being a sign that he should 't be elected again after his disastrous first term.
Yeah, this is way worse and the only hope is Republican infighting keeping the worst from happening again.
