even in your dimmest view of the US, DOESNT exist here
It's a matter of what the public will accept. You go as far as you can without triggering revolution. That's the achievement of the US system for being around for so long.
And if someone like Trump can get millions to accept him just by getting 51% of votes, we will inevitably become Putin's Russia.
Key thing to note is that for Trump supporters, 51% is not enough to accept Biden, they went for revolution against that. Would 55 or even 95% have changed anything?
