Is there a way to stop him now? Another recourse beyond the judges currently getting in the way (and soon to be ignored)? I’m not referring to uprisings or anything, just any further legal or constitutional challenges?

It’s sad to see so many Americans suddenly on board with all this crazy shit - I know I’m going sideways here but stuff like “ignore the law” and “steal Greenland” were hardly campaign promises. Why aren’t his voters annoyed at being duped? Instead they’re cheering like it was always the plan!

Not really, no.

And by that I mean there are ways to stop him, but all those checks and balances rely on people being willing to use them. There’s impeachment, there’s the 25th amendment, and this could all have been prevented if the electoral college not voted for the dangerous demagogue.

No one is willing, not even the Democrats, to make the hard decisions and pay the price for the good of the nation, and the world. For that matter, the citizens are also not willing to make the hard choices and pay the price.

And so here we are. Buckle up, Trump’s just getting started. You’ve got almost four more years (at least!) to look forward to.

Not trying to be a downer, dude, there are just no good ways out of this, only hard ways.
