The GOP is dying, and this sham trial is a feeble attempt to ward off death.

When something is dying, it fights. It fights hard to stay alive.
This is what's going on with the GOP right now.
It's a last ditch effort to continue their 40+ year coup attempt.
The GOP will likely survive this Senate trial, but it will still be on life support.
In November, we pull the plug, while cutting off it's oxygen.
RIP 2020, GOP.

2. I'm with you. When he "won" in 2016, my very wise father said it would destroy the GOP.

Their death throes are sad and pathetic. Cowering to a bully while he wrecks what they swore to protect.

It has been for years. But only way for minority rule to stay in power is to become fascists. Not only do they need to pull life support. Shoot it multiple times in the head to prevent it from zombifying.

There are so many many things that could cause the election go wrong and I fear they will try all of them at once.

Scary stuff here:

His strategy is keeping his Trump base voters in the fold by conducting this sham trial and then following up with a vicious election fraud campaign in swing states to steal one more final election - the final election he needs to complete his evil takeover.

We are now approaching the grand finale of the fight of our lives.
