We did that in 2020. We elected biden to stop this madness. His job was to prosecute the fascists who attempted a coup, but he was too busy being a delusional corporate moderate DNC democrat, worrying about the names fascists would call him if he prosecuted their crimes.

Now it's game over. We don't get anymore real elections to fix this.
