In 2019, Republicans refused to convict and remove Donald Trump, despite clear---some would say

"overwhelming"---evidence supporting the Articles of Impeachment received from the House.

In 2020, Republicans refused to accept Donald Trump's election defeat by over 7 million votes despite numerous recounts in multiple states and over 60 lawsuits which all confirmed the result.

So far, in 2021, the Republican Vice President and the Trump cabinet---without any known objection by Congressional Republicans--- fails to invoke the 25th Amendment to take power from a Donald Trump who is widely described by members of both parties as "deranged", "unhinged" and "unstable".

Next week, a single, simple and obviously justified Article of Impeachment will almost certainly be sent to the temporarily Republican-dominated US Senate and, again, the fate of the man who failed to win a majority of the popular votes both times he tried will be decided by the party which was placed in power by a clear MINORITY of American voters.

Can we agree that Big Changes are necessary even if they require pissing off those poor Trumpies whose feelings Cruz and company are so concerned about?
