WE are fucked...well and truly and to the core.
The House? NEVER going to do a damn thing to a GOP administration, not even a cursory hearing or exploratory committee...
The Senate? NEVER going to get to a vote in the first place, but there would be no removal from office for an impeached POTUS...
The SCOTUS? Anyone paying attention to Gorsuch's opinion knows damn well where the court is heading and it ain't good...
Constitutional Amendment? Sorry....I had to blow my nose from the tears on THAT front...I have a better chance of winning the lottery and I don't play...
The American People as a whole are a poorly educated, disinterested - or worse, easily pliant, absentee voting bloc. You can influence the rubes to vote against their own interests or get them to just not care enough to show up and the results are what we have now....single party rule that is 100% for the oligarchs and plutocrats and 100% unaccountable to the people.
Unless we can suddenly get EVERYONE to vote, this is only going to get worse and worse.
How do you get to 3% economic growth? Easy...only count GDP and massacre social benefits and safety nets so that the "economy" is doing great...but the citizens are dying in ditches and desperation.
How do you 'balance' the budget? Simple...cut education, environment and developmental programs out completely, turn the money over to private interests and viola...a 'balanced' budget appears out of thin air while people get dumber, sicker and less able to do damn near anything but stare at a fucking cell phone screen and send cat pictures back and forth...
I want to die. This is depressing in a way that crushes the will to live and grinds the soul into dust...
