Jthompson demonstrates the key point with his reply above, he is right: words, signatures it all ‘don’t mean sh&te’.
This is a pure power play, Americans too naive to see this within their own borders, that it’s all about 1 thing, and 1 thing only: power.
Holding on to power, expanding power. Great examples are Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping and Trump’s idol: Vladimir Putin.
Trump and his followers have the power and they are changing America (most notably by weaponizing the DOJ to execute extreme right-wing ideology for the coming decades if not more) whilst the rest of America watches, comments, sighs, despairs and signs petitions.
US democracy appears to be as strong as that of Nicaragua, the Phillipines, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran,…
Thanks to Jthompson (above) for pointing this out.
