Me too Canada. Me too. I don't suppose we could convince you to move down here with Trudeau and we kick trump and his supporters up there with your conservatives?

Canadians wonder why the fuck Democrats simply dont arrest him for criminal activity
Parties don't arrest people, the justice system does.
Because we don't want to interfere with the system and make it a politically orchestrated arrest.
The normal forces that be are working on it... It's just taking time... Due process and all that jazz
Dead wrong. The only reason it's "political" is because the fucking Telecommunications Act hasnt been violently repealed.
This is not an "it takes time" issue. It's a criminal offensive. Incrementalist bullshit is why we have fascist threats now.
Part of the problem is that they're trying to not give him anything he can appeal.
Prosecution like this can take a while to happen because you only get one shot at it, and it's vital that it doesn't fail for bullshit reasons.
How does that work for private citizens or bottom ranked government employees who steal government documents and try to sell them to foreign nations? Do we go slow and try to get it right because there's only one shot at it and you dont want it to fail for bullshit reasons?
Those people don't have a cult of millions of deranged terrorists itching to violently overthrow the government and a good chance at being president again (which would be the end of our country).
Sometimes you have to be patient to get your desired outcome.
But, just look at Al Capone. We knew he was guilty as fuck for a long time, but it took a long time to build a case to put him away, even if it was just for tax fraud.
The cult doesnt go away, and they have to be dealt with as a violent domestic terrorist threat also. Because THEY ARE.

They're not alone
So do Americans.
Seems like half are just a-ok with it.
About 40M A-oks. Only about 12% of Americans. Unfortunately, about half of the voting public. If your county has mandatory voting, thank your lucky stars.
Unfortunately, Republicans will never support compulsory voting since they benefit from low voter turnout. A 90-95 percent turnout rate would be the end of the Republican Party.
Sadly, you're right.
