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?
Pretty much this.
The short answer to OPs question is: he still has support from republicans, oligarchs, and voters.
The reasons are complex but I think there are several.
Firstly no compulsory voting. Honestly the US could barely be called a “democracy” before the current shit show.
Also the “both sides” narrative perpetuated even by those on the left, to their own detriment. The left literally protesting against their own side.
America’s history of violence, racism.
Late stage capitalism - people are desperate and will follow along with populist policies even if they are lies.
Checks and balances keeping everything just a tiny sliver to the sane side of abject chaos. Like the tariffs in April - Trump rode right up to the edge but chickened out. If he hadn’t he would’ve lost control after the global financial economy collapsed.
Religion. Not sure what the situation is in Korea but it can’t be as bad as the US. Christianity in the US is just a salve to allow assholes to justify their shit behavior.
I could go on.
Like what @TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone said, what do you mean the left is protesting against “their own side?” The DNC isn’t left, it’s a right-wing party.
Ah yes, bothsidesing. As I said …
You still didn’t answer. It’s one side, the DNC and GOP are right-wing parties.
You realise this is exactly the message GOP propaganda bots push right ?
Imagine saying exactly what Trump’s strategists want you to say yet still somehow believing you’re progressive.
The DNC is a right-wing party of capital. I’m a communist, the DNC cannot and will not represent me nor the workong class. Only their donors.
Break your electoral chains
Sorry, who on the left did the left protest against?
The dems may not be left enough for you but they are your progressive party. Protesting against them for their position on Gaza is the biggest self-own in the history of democracy.
Sorry I’m not going to engage with this dumbassery. I’m not even American.
You guys shat your own bed and the stench is wafting around the globe.
Your other arguments may have their own merits, but the dems are factually not part of the left. As a leftist, I don’t support right wing candidates. Whether you think I should have voted for them anyway is a separate argument
As I said I’m not engaging with this ridiculous position.
You were captured by GOP propaganda a year ago, and still haven’t managed to unravel your delusion even though they don’t need you anymore.
I have to begrudgingly admit they did a great job, developing assets like you who are still parroting their talking points a year later for free.
This is hilarious. Thank you for the content
