I tend to think it just doesn’t matter. Trumpism stands for certain


Things. Not conservative policies or justices. Trump stands for disinformation, propaganda, caustic zero sum populist nationalism, cultural division, and probably a few other things I am not thinking of.

We have now seen the results of this. 15%, maybe 20% literally looking to go to war against the USA. A party (or parts of it at this point) that values one thing - fealty to a person. These things contradict everything this country stands for. We are a nation of laws whose leaders owe fealty to the nation, not a cult of a person demanding the nation show fealty to the cult hero. We are not North Korea.

So enough games IMO. It is unacceptable for Trump to run for or hold office again. It is unacceptable that he is still in office. It is unacceptable for a party to allow him to be its kingmaker.

The Republican Party has to finish what it has now apparently started. It has to finish purging Trumpism from its ranks. It should begin by joining in convicting Trump of the article of impeachment.
