What you’re seeing in the Senate this week is evidence that POTUS has so thoroughly convinced Republicans that nothing matters that Republican Senators now believe that they themselves don’t matter.

“The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts.”

Democracy must stand against this tyranny

3. That's the irony here

Republicans are protecting Trump to protect their own power, but by not being any kind of check on his actions, they render their own power meaningless.

5. Yep. And what they're forgetting is the 'back end' of the equation,

wherein the MOMENT they exercise that power to remove trump from office, Trump has NOTHING to hurt them with, because any power stemming from his position is immediately stripped from him.

And after that heads on pikes quote, I'd be right pissed...motherfucker were the thing keeping you out of prison, and you wanna come down here with THREATS!? It would be

Brutus! Bring me the daggers!!!

just on general principal.

6. Poor helpless victims of Stockholm syndrome

Bullshit. They know exactly what they are doing

They are enablers and traitors to the Constitution.
