Only thing that is left to be done

The 24/7 News cycle has HAMMERED the American people with revelations about DT that would have any other President, any other Politician, any other Employee, any other American Citizen, Impeached, Resigned, Fired or Jailed. But none of that is happening because the extremist wealthy faction of the Republican party has now come to power and absolutely supports DT. Therefore yes we DO have a dictator in the White House. A dictator who is being kept in power by this extremist faction. It does no good to state the faction is racist. xenophobic, misogynist, treasonous and without morals. It is like pummeling a brick wall with your fists. The brick wall is the power that the few wealthy corporations(now people) have. If every American citizen in this country got up and protested in a historical massive world wide SCREAM, it would have absolutely no effect on this extremist faction. I am very skeptical that any sort of impeachment will occur regardless of illegal or treasonous revelations coming to light. Would not Trump have been gone NOW if such were the case? In fact the electoral college SHOULD have stopped Trump based on all of the revelations even then. It did not happen, has not happened, so what does that mean. The reality of the situation is that our government has been taken over by this faction that saw their chance to take over while the American people were sitting back confident in their country and their government and complacent that something like this would never happen here. It became possible when Corporations became people. Wealth and power does not adhere to borders or ideology OR morality. DT himself is not the mastermind of this. He is a puppet. He himself did not think he would become President. There is only one thing left that this country can do to save the Democracy. Vote the extremist faction puppets out of office in November. Immediately move to enforce limits on executive power and overturn Citizens United.

"Citizens United and the Trump Administration[edit]
In 2016 the Donald Trump presidential campaign enlisted Citizens United president David Bossie as deputy campaign manager.[14] During the campaign, Bossie made regular television appearances on behalf of the Trump campaign.[15] Bossie is a close friend and longtime acquaintance of Trump administration officials Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway,[16] having introduced Bannon to Trump in 2011.[17]"

"Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), is a landmark U.S. constitutional law, campaign finance, and corporate law case dealing with regulation of political campaign spending by organizations. The United States Supreme Court held (5–4) on January 21, 2010 that the free speech clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for communications by nonprofit corporations, for-profit corporations, labor unions, and other associations.[2][3]"
