Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.

    Unpopular opinion here; but there’s no way an impeachment would succeed and a failed impeachment strengthens Trump’s position with his base.

      Everything Trump does strengthen his position with his base.

      He could probably eat dog poo on live television and his base would cheer him for a dumb reason.

        "The liberals forced him into a choice to eat dog poo. Their fault. " -all maga logic at this point as they also start to eat dog poo.

        It’s an extreme version of the sunk cost fallacy. His believers are the type of people who think that changing your mind is a sign of weakness. For America to pass this period, a lot of these people will expect a Pact of Forgetting type situation so they don’t have to answer for what they were encouraging.

      that is exactly why the Dems had nothing to lose. you are not winning over MAGA folks. who cares? they are not the group a symbolic appeal of impeachment would work for. the Dems should’ve taken the risk to demonstrate solidarity but they can’t be fucked to do anything even remotely suggestive they are working for their constituents.
