11. We KNEW this and screamed "Don't do it, voters!"

They didn't listen and now we are stuck. We knew this would happen.

The 25th Amendment won't help us because he has sycophants in the cabinet who have bought into his delusions.

The impeachment option won't happen even if we get control of the House because the Senate has to have 2/3 votes to convict and that is a statistical improbability. Also, the chief justice presides over the trial and we know whose pocket he is in.

We have 3 more years of this insanity and we will likely not survive it as a functioning democracy. The only hope is that nature helps us out, but then we have JD and the current gang in power. Still bad.

I just don't know how this ends other than badly.
