Our system is so stupid.
Whistleblower laws, that POTUS can shut down if they are whistleblowing on him.
Immune from indictment, and indictments cannot toll (he can ride them out in office and never be criminally liable)
An extremely partisan judiciary all the way to SCOTUS
Winner take all structure
POTUS "cannot commit obstruction" according to some right wingers
POTUS can clear anyone for security clearance, even if they fail
Kids in office nepotism
Pay a POTUS resorts and hotels as bribes, legally!
I could go on. What a corruptly designed, pathetic system we have.
The system is fine. The problem is the Republican Party has become an extremist organization.
Also, the far-right wing of the Republican Party -- Freeper types for instance -- doesn't really care about the law or the Constitution. They care about immigration and abortion, and the fulfillment of policy goals for those two things are more important than our institutions and the law, and anyone who opposes their policy goals are "enemies" who do not deserve to participate in the system.
People like Barr sort of exemplify this type of thinking at the institutional level in Trump's administration.
