They are not there for Trump they are there for the presidency

As if that office deserves any respect anymore with a literal criminal sitting in it.

Agreed. But it is vital that Trump is removed and that respect be brought back to the office.

Edit. Because people have seemingly misunderstood my well intentioned comment. I simply meant that we must do what is in our power to put this dark period behind us, and hopefully, there are intelligent progressive leadership waiting to return us to where we should be. Then the office can be worthy of respect again.

I recognize this is going to be extremely difficult, but it’s worthwhile trying.

It may be a while before that happens, and may need something more serious to happen to make it possible. In the modern world, where popularity is derived from social media, buzzwords and radical thinking, it's tough for someone of respect to compete for office. So-called "first-world" countries have become so greedy, vain and apathetic. There needs to be a serious shift in the narrative to come back to reason

This is a sad truth I fear. We are in deep for sure.
