What worries me is that the GOP will be shocked, shocked, that Trump was involved in sedition...

...and dump him overboard, showing a smiling face to the country, all the while embracing Trumpism--and election-stealing tactics--without shame in 2022 and 2024. And, of course, that the media allows them to get away with it. Will the Trumpist MAGAs swallow this, though? I doubt it. Maybe we'll be treated to a long series of "GOP in disarray" stories for once...

Write the hearings off as “a witch hunt” and “political theatre”. Although deep down they know what a slime bag Trump really is. They just don’t care.

They already do it - claim we Dems are obsessed with the past and we should move on from Trump.

GOP doesn't want to piss off the 1/2 of their base that still support Trump - so they try to go along and blame Dems.

Truth is Dems doing what GOP should have done themselves.

they were all in it, to claim fraud or worse already by then. Every one of them needs to get a rude wake up call, and get arrested and charged for aiding and abetting a seditious conspiracy. It's time to take the gloves off, most Americans know that they and djt tried to overthrow the normal workings of our elected government.
