I'm from Korea, and we impeached our president last year, mostly because he declared martial law, but he was also a terrible president, and no one really liked him being there, even his own party.

Why can't the U.S do the same, if Donald Trump is so bad? Why are some Americans even supporting him?

Let's be real - if they get a majority, the Dems will find a way to delay the impeachment until the end of his term, in the hopes of getting more votes in 2028. They already pulled the same shit twice.

I love how you launder "building an airtight case" into "find a way to delay".

While Law and Order gets to cut to the trial 9 months later, we have to wait for the investigation and evidence collection and 23 different warring writs and motions to fight it out, all in real-time.

If your country can't prosecute the leader of an insurrection in four years and has to let him run for president again, it's already a failed state.
