And no, I'm under no illusion this one move will fix everything. The problem with the US goes way beyond Trump. He is just a symptom of a long-term decline. Still, it is a necessary - if not sufficient - step.

Fundamentally, until the US stops lying to itself (about lack of racism, about equal opportunity, about separation of church and state, about guns being good, etc) there is no hope for its recovery. -

The guy is clearly deranged. Time to use the 25th Ammendment to save the country and the world from his madness.
@andrewstroehlein The GOP is okay with this. He's their leader.

@andrewstroehlein ... minor practical issue is that most of the House and a majority of the Senate, as well as more than half of the Supreme Court are actively supporting this disaster and will be of no help with Art 25 procedures.

WHAT IF Americans had found a way to organise peaceful mass protests and general strikes better and sooner?
· What if more rational heads in the Republican Party had stood up to stop the increasingly authoritarian Trump regime?
· What if the Democratic Party hadn’t folded its cards nationally so soon?
· What if leaders from both parties had joined together and made survival of the country’s democracy their top priority?
