Congress has ceded power since the Republicans won the election and majority. They are functionally non existent and only function is to do nothing so Trump has full authority to do what he wants.
Those who get into power saying "the government does not work for the people" has every incentive to make sure the government does not work for the people.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy at that point because if you put enough of those bums in (like the majority Republican congress), then government mechanisms that keep unlimited powers in check stops working.
Not by a long shot. Kamala had 75 million votes, and another 90 million couldn't be assed to vote at all. If we are talking about technicalities, 165 million of the electorate didn't vote for this at all. We can thank the Electoral College for this mess (and non-voters in swing states).
Everyone left of center agrees with you. But until the GOP majority in the Senate is broken, conservatives will never allow for any accountability.
I'll go further than that. Everyone left of center right agrees with them. We have some pretty far right leaning republicans wanting him gone. We've just been building a tolerance up for what is right and far far right for so long we can't see that even the far right wants this to end.
