US checks and balances are more robust than most presidential systems but when you have a bad faith actor with their own mandate it gets tough. The main difference is that Trump still looked a winner for Republicans in Congress but Johnson soon became toxic once Corbyn resigned.
Because on the one hand he has a hardcore of people who know he’s lying but either don’t care or care more about what he can do/enable for them. And on the other, a lot of people who think that the checks and balances will get him in the end.
Boris tried the same here, and if anything I think it showed ours are more robust, if anything.
