Well, a civilization died tonight.

It was ours. Congress didn't step up and stop him. No one in power invoked the 25th Amendment to remove him. We failed, utterly, as a civilization.

@realtegan Sorry to tell you, but the US have not been a civilized country for quite a while now. I'd say the downfall started with George W. Bush ending human rights for "security", but Trump 2.0 accelerated it massively. And of course Congress won't step up. They represent the people, and the people wanted this guy (about 30% of voters or were at least fine with him (the 40% who did not bother voting).

America has democratically chosen to become Russia.
@divVerent the country is built on genocide and slavery
@31113 And also founded before the French Revolution. No Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité in the US yet.
