It might be a good time to remind Republicans that their party probably wouldn't have collapsed had they allowed Trump to be convicted in his impeachment the January 6 Capitol riot.

The Republicans backed Trump after the insurrection because they didn't have anyone else their supporters would rally behind.
@mattblaze Sometimes you have to get pushed to the brink of disaster in order to realize what others have been saying all along: the Republican Party is a death cult.
@mattblaze Even if they knew that with full foresight it would not have made any difference; they acted in the moment knowing that they could do shit with impunity for 24 months, and revelled in it.
@khleedril Huh? Biden was president, and congress was controlled by Ds.
@mattblaze Also to remind Rep. Raskin that he shouldn’t have caved to conservaDem senators & should’ve called witnesses & extended the Senate trial despite them. It was Raskin’s prerogative
@mattblaze Also a good time to remind the whole of the USA that even though we as Europeans are happy for the blue tsunami, we still will not trust you with buying weapon systems from you for the next 50 years.
@UlrikNyman I'll be sure to let everyone know.
@mattblaze the Republican party decided authoritarianism was the way to stay in power. Trump’s second term helped make that happen much more obviously and faster. For that I thank him as it means some voters, hopefully many, like me will never again consider a republican a viable candidate for any office.
