Trump 2.0 really is the USA’s brexit isn’t it? … in many many ways
@bloor I'd say it's much worse. Brexit has caused a lot of inconvenience and made some things more expensive, but we're not on the brink of civil war with armed thugs dragging people from their homes.
@etchedpixels @mansr @bloor Do we? I mean at least our PM is answerable to parliament.
@penguin42 @mansr @bloor so is the US one but he has a majority so he doesn't care.
@etchedpixels @mansr @bloor But I don't think you could get rid of a US president as fast as a head of lettuce.
@penguin42 @mansr @bloor They can impeach him. They can also remove all his powers except those tied to the constitution by simply passing a bill with a veto proof majority. The UK has disturbingly little protection at all from a lunatic pm because like everything else it's still built on the 'but he went to a posh school and has good family so he won't' model of trust
@etchedpixels @penguin42 @mansr @bloor because impeaching worked the last 2 times? The supreme court also gave him a get out of jail free card.
Shits fucked up.
