    Yes, the system is flawed. Yes, Republicans have embraced corruption, and their voters are accepting it due to the combination of the culture war and their perception that if someone doesn’t display shame or remorse, they must have done nothing wrong. The Republicans in the US Senate declared in Trump’s impeachment trial that the President is above the law as long as the Senate says so.

    I don’t know how our country will continue to function when the system of checks and balances has completely failed. We are on a very dark road right now.
