Anyone who watched a moment of Trumps address to the rally could see that Trump is not mentally well. He publicly threatened his own vice president if he didnt do the impossible and overturn the election. Top Republicans are openly calling for Trump to removed from office either through impeachment or the 25th Amendment.

Republicans are fine with this in the sense they're getting the authoritarianism they always wanted. They just don't like the optics, and the sense they have to answer to democratic colleagues. They won't remove Trump, and they know they won't be expelled from Congress. They have high level pensions and the best lifetime health care in the world. No worries. Let's own some more libs.
