Voting out Trump is the way out

I have a friend who is having a major panic attack about Trump. I'm sure he isn't alone. I helped him chill out by reminding him that the current president is not the only decision maker in the government. I'm not sure how much he was listening to, he was in a panic, but I think I got across the basics of how the current president has limited power.<br><br>I'm not saying we don't need to worry. I'm not saying we should ignore the problem. We need to work on the problem, but work, not panic. We must relax long enough to think, not just react.<br><br>We need to go to the polls and some to vote for anything that isn't the Republican party. This is the only answer to our problem.<br><br>Donald Trump is NOT the problem, he is a symptom of a much larger problem. He is the result of the Republican party, people who voted for him and always give the Republican party their vote, and their supporters such as Fox News who convinced people that Trump was a good choice. We can't get rid of him right now, but we can get rid of people who stand behind him.<br><br>Trump has surrounded himself with the Republican party and Fox News and their approval. He can't be removed from office without getting rid of those standing behind him. If you think he is the problem and you go after him while leaving his supporters in place, he will not be convicted of anything. Even if they are playing politics, his supporters will protect him from his impeachment, and are very likely going to protect him from criminal indictments.<br><br>If you think he is the problem and you go after him while leaving his supports, you will work against them and they will continue to support him. You will see him as your enemy and his supporters as your enemy, making them unite and work together to protect him.<br><br>But even if you get rid of Trump, you have not solved the problem that caused your panic. You could have some temporary relief, but the problem is still there and Trump is just a symptom of it. The Republican party and their supporters are the problem. They are the ones who put Trump in office in the first place. If you think you have made progress by getting rid of Trump, you would be wrong. The Republican party is in power in both houses of Congress, a majority of the US state governments, and a majority of the state legislatures. The Republican party and their supporters are the problem, they are the ones who put Trump in office, and they are the ones who will put another Trump in office.<br><br>Trump is not the problem. He is evidence of the problem, but he is not the problem. We need to see him as a symptom, a warning sign that something is very wrong. The problem is that people are no longer thinking for themselves, are no longer doing their own research, are no longer voting for who they believe will be a good leader. The problem is that people are too lazy to think for themselves and are voting for Trump because they are convinced by Fox news that he is the best choice. The problem is that the Republican party has followed Trump and are working to help him. The problem is that people want to be told what to think, have someone else that they trust do their thinking for them, and have put their trust in Trump and the Republican party. The problem is that people are no longer looking for the best person for the job, but are voting strictly along party lines, and are looking for people in their party to tell them how to vote.<br><br>We need to get people to understand that Trump is not the problem, he is a symptom of a much bigger problem. We are all in this together and we all need to work together to solve our problem. We can't just vote out Trump and solve our problem, we need to vote out the Republican party. We can't tell people that Trump is the problem, we need to tell people that the Republican party is the problem. We can't convince people to go after Trump, we need to convince people to go after Trump's supporters.<br><br>We have to chill out. We have to quit acting on emotion and start thinking. We need to quit acting like Trump is the problem and start acting like the Republican party is the problem. We need to go after the root cause of our problem and quit just treating its symptoms.<br><br>We need to calm down and think. We need to chill out, be smart, and go after the problem. We need to go after the Republican party.
