Except that elected Dems CAN'T remove Trump; it requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate.
This is the thing elected dems seem unable to swallow. There is no realistic modus vivendi where somehow remain a functioning liberal democracy after 3 years of Trump. He is removed or we become Azerbaijan. Removal is ultimately the only goal that matters.
The remedy for a president who both lies to your face and also expects you to make a deal with him is removal from office.
