A point that probably should have become obvious four years ago when Trump won the Republican Party nomination with a campaign strategy that consisted solely of blatantly spouting racist bullshit and generally acting like a wrestling heel.
And it turns out the US does not have any checks or balances on presidential power.

The checks are there. It's just that those in power regard protecting their power as more important than enforcing those checks. The system is only as good as those who run it and those running ours are completely corrupt.

What's happening?
Quote:Countless ballots destroyed in Los Angeles as official drop box goes up in flames
While it’s unclear how the fire started, investigators are looking into arson as the possible cause. An estimated 60 to 100 damaged ballots were take into the custody of police.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
