      The problem is that in the meantime, he got elected to the presidency, served his term, irrevocably damaged the US’ international relations, incited an unsurrection, committed a bazillion other crimes, and looks poised to get to the presidency again. All the while we got through a Democratic term where they could build a fraction back up of what Trump destroyed while also fighting with their own failed politics (Biden is complicit in why student loans are a big problem now, and well there is the genocide thing).

      I can understand the wheels of justice are slow and steady, but the fires of chaos are hot on its heels. I hope I’m wrong, but the US seems like it will elect a convicted felon to its highest office to both guide and represent it in this fucked up world we have right now.
