If Trump and Pence get impeached, or voted out in 2020, we can’t just decide everything’s fine because “our guy” is in office. We can’t have a repeat of Obama. It’s not just the individual – it’s the system. Trump would not have been nearly as much of a danger if Obama had reversed the expansions of executive power under Bush, instead of maintaining and even increasing them.

Trump would not have been nearly as much of a danger if he and Congressional Democrats had set precedent by holding the Bush Administration and those who aided and abetted its crimes accountable. And he wouldn’t have even gotten in if we had dismantled or limited the Electoral College after the unjust Bush debacle where it led to him being handed the Presidency by the Supreme Court.

If we don’t do that this time, if we don’t change the system rather than the person sitting at the head of it, the next would-be fascist to get into office will be even worse.
Hold their feet to the fire on this – we need to reduce executive power. We need to hold those who have committed crimes in this administration or knowingly abetted such accountable. We need to switch to a fairer, more democratic voting system.
