Tomorrow #45 faces his second impeachment. This time for violent insurrection against the United States. That tool impeachment is in our Constitution for a reason.
The founders, for all their faults, knew that democracies were fragile. To survive they needed specific structures. The rise of a demagogue installed by the mob was among the possibilities which guided the writing of the Constitution. That document stopped #45 because he fit the exact template of what they expected. In 240 years such persons remain the same as essentially does the Constitution which defends against them.
