    The really sad thing is that in this scenario only Republicans matter. As long as they keep treating Trump as some kind of god-emperor, nothing will happen.

    I was going to say “treating him as a king”, but England and Canada have kings and would never put up with this kind of shit from a king. England hasn’t put up with kings acting this way since the Magna Carta was signed.
