I live in a country that demands the highest level of competence from sports teams but not the POTUS

If a GM makes a bad trade, or the college team does not win a championship, or the coach loses a big game, fans will scream for days and demand that people get fired or benched.

But Trump's incompetence which has lead to 70,000 deaths is okay.

Someone explain that to me.

It explains both of these phenomena, I think.
The vast majority of sports fans, given a GM job, wouldn't last a month.

it's just that OUR Constitution does not allow for this particular situation to be remedied without an election.
(and by this situation, I mean a repug Senate)

And I do not believe that it's OK for the majority of people...just for repugs in charge and sheeple.

At The president’s prime job, which is to make the 0.1% richer and keep the foot on the neck of the middle class.
