5. The thing is, he was the only president in history who was already impeached TWICE

Mar 1

The first time was for attempting to blackmail Ukraine over aid which had already been approved by Congress - and the second time was for attempting to overthrow the government via his violent insurrectionists. And despite the severe injuries and deaths of law enforcement who protected the Capitol and Congress - which those in Congress experienced firsthand - only 10 in the House voted yes on impeachment because they were too afraid of being primaried, let alone fear for retribution on themselves and their families. Liz Cheney talked all about that experience in her book, and she was one who not only lost her House seat, but is still subject to threats. Not only has this not changed, but the approval of TFG's abominable picks for leadership positions shows that the fear has gotten even worse.
