The thing is, the very notion that Trump can stop Gretchen is wrong. Power flows the opposite way in the US, and we need everyone to wake up to that fact again. The higher up you get in the government, the more people you depend on to allow you to use their power to do the things that they want you to do.

It's like Goku and the Spirit Bomb.

All we all need to do is when Gretchen raises up her arms and calls out to all the voters for the strength to defeat Free-za, everyone just goes "No, fuck you. I'm going to give all my power to your Conservative Opponent instead."

Every Conservative always needs to vote for the most conservative option, even if they're not perfect. Every Conservative needs to put things on the line to civilly disobey unconstitutional, unlawful, unjust overreach. It's a shit ton of work and risk, but it must be done. It is the only way. For the Government to come in and remove her just shifts all that power even higher up, further capsizing the already fucked up power pyramid.
