What to do when the Presidency Is Losing Its Legitimacy?


What Happens When The Presidency Is Losing Its Legitimacy?

Mounting evidence that Trump’s election was aided by Russian interference presents a challenge to the American system of government—with lasting consequences for democracy.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/what-happens-when-a-presidency-loses-its-legitimacy/531447/?utm_source=pocket&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pockethits

[If the man or woman sitting at the big desk in the White House looses the respect of the people than the office of the Presidency will be losing its legitimacy as well. That doesn't mean you have to be happy with the President but if its all going to work you have to believe that individual was legally elected. We have seen the SCOTUS pick a President in George W. Bush and now the dictator of Russia picks one as well in Donald J. Trump. Something is not working. How did this happen and what can we do about it?]

Why all the concern now, when the real time for concern was back when Bush decided to lie about WMD and murder over a million innocent Iraqis and Afghans?

Why consider violence against Trump, when it was Hillary that tried to destroy half a dozen legitimate governments, mandate private insurance, put half a million nonviolent offenders in federal prisons, and bailed out banks and car makers instead of homeowners or unions?

Sorry, this "outrage" over Trump just looks pathetic.

Trump is pretty much irrelevant.
The corruption of the Democratic Party is far more important.

You don't remember Bush outrage, his polls had to have been the lowest in history in the last 18 months or so. It takes a long time for Americans to 'turn'. I am outraged, I'm outraged over immigration, I'm outraged over health care, I'm outraged over deregulation, I'm outraged over his choice of team and his daughter and son-in-law, I am outraged we have a ego inflated, misogynist, twitter crazed and embarrassment to this country as a leader who doesn't know how to run it, he is an ass. Corruption in any party is important, so is collusion and obstruction of justice.

The Bush outrage was about 5 years too late, when the economy started tanking, not when we started bombing innocent civilians.

Immigration is irrelevant. I prefer immigrants because I want them to pay for my social security, but they would likely prefer to stay at home if the we would stop causing violence and poverty there.

Health care is irrelevant because the required fix is to stop giving employers tax breaks over benefits, and anything else is terrible.

Deregulation is irrelevant. Most of the things the EPA did actually made things worse, like discriminating against air cooled cars or diesels.
Nepotism not only is common, but likely good.
And the rest is even more irrelevant.
My greatest concern is over SCOTUS appointees. But there is plenty of time to wait and see.
The personal attacks on Trump do NOT at all help the democrats, and only make them even MORE irrelevant.

You're outraged over his choice of daughter and son-in-law? The first wasn't his choice - just biology at work - and the second was the previously mentioned daughter's choice.
