This is the end result of the hyper partisan nature of the polity in the United States.
“Yet on Wednesday, a record number of Republicans sanctioned their party’s most popular figure — some of those lawmakers were old, some were young, some from heavily conservative districts, some from swing districts.
Adam Kinzinger of Illinois is now being deluged with threats of a primary in his Illinois district from voters livid that he helped impeach Trump.
But the 41-year-old Air Force veteran said he felt at peace, having done the right thing.
Jaime Herrera Beutler, a 42-year-old recently re-elected for the sixth time in a conservative-leaning Washington State district, said she was choosing not to be afraid as she cast her vote against Trump.”
When doing the right thing garners threats against a person… Wrongdoing, even by “our team” is still wrongdoing and people should face the consequences of their actions regardless of which party they happen to belong to.
“People like Doug LaMalfa, who accused Democrats of trying to silence half the country by humiliating Trump: “You hate him,” he said.
Andy Biggs of Arizona referred to Democrats as “the beast” trying to devour Trump, harbouring an unsatiated craving to crush him through investigations, false allegations and impeachment.
“Your craving was never a Biden victory, nor even a Trump defeat. … You don’t merely seek victory — you seek obliteration of your nemesis,” he said.
A young pro-Trump congressman from Florida, Matt Gaetz, also derided Democrats for remaining silent when rioters burned city buildings and looted businesses.
Gaetz said Trump has weathered unprecedented hatred — “from big media, big tech and big egos.”
Everything except accepting responsibility. The American system is in serious trouble.

Trump is a scumbag. That being said, The Western capitalists, the elite, who were outmaneuvered to let him gain prominence were also certain his blabbering unpredictable mouth was not the face they wanted at the “front desk”, as Caitlin Johnstone called it. Trumps only avenue for public support was to appeal to ( lie to ) the vocal ChristianRight, recists and the disgruntled traditional white settler privileged core. For four years the DC uni-party voted for all his imperialist Neo-liberal budgets and policies- inside he was a team player- just another Repub. He could’ve been impeached after 6 months for enriching his personal wealth but no his policies were fine – they all go to each other’s kids weddings… So to insure his was 4 year only turn the DC permanent power establishment w the DNC concocted a plan of personal appearance jabs and foreign interference claims- still w/o evidence but still believed buy many well meaning ppl. DC is a 24/7 PR campaign- including the “attack” the other day which was manufactured to want us to “allow” more censorship and control.
