Prosecuting crimes does not require any voting. The president is in charge of that. He runs the DOJ and enforces the rules. It doesn’t sound like you understand how the government works. Trump broke laws already on the books, the Biden administration failed to hold them to account. Congress is not needed to prosecute crimes.

The older generation ceded our power to the wealthy. They went gleefully along with tax policy designed to move money to the top, anti union legislation, increasing costs of education, stymieing environmental regulation, not pursuing and enforcing trust busting measures, offshoring industry, etc , etc. They weren’t the driving force, you could claim they were tricked, but it was their own short sighted greed and often bigotry that allowed them to go along with it. And they by and large continue to support all that same shit.
