    Because after impeaching him the House immediately flipped? Ya think? Impeachment was well recieved in the bubble, not so much outside the bubble.

        Trumps 2nd impeachment was January 13th, 2021.

        The next election was 2022 and the House flipped. Literally flipped, 222 Democrats in the 117th Congress to 222 Republicans in the 118th.

          I’m sure the parade of Democrat failures that happened over the next 20 fucking months had nothing to do with it!

            One thing can have power. 2024 will see it flip the other way because of abortion. People don’t forget this shit.
