I doubt they are literate enough to actually read the constitution, and they have no honor so resigning is out of the question.

If you can’t vote out of fear - resign immediately.

If only there had been a way to not enable Trump, ride his wave of racism, voter suppression, general moral degradation, and his, and his, and his, and his …

Oh wait - there was a way.

Bu that would have required moral scruples.

Never mind.

Thoughts & prayers?

“The majority of them are actually paralyzed with fear,”

They should keep their hands on the wheel or in view at all times, hold a neutral expression and answer all questions with “sir”.

Hey, all you Republican Pamper-pissers! Democrats have been receiving death threats from your crazed Trump-fluffing base for 4 years, day in and day out, so I don’t want to hear about your frightened cries.

No one said defending American democracy was an easy job, you bunch of sniveling, cowardly douchebags.

Moscow McConnell deserves most of this. He singlehandedly handed Trump an acquittal on Impeachment, after a near flawless House effort and some of the finest oratory I have ever heard in my entire life, from Adam Schiff.

(1) The 300,000+ COVID deaths belong to him
(2) The current mayhem belongs to him

It is breathtaking that this is not blared from every source of public communication.

Democrats have been facing these threats to themselves and their families for four long years. They haven’t let these insurrectionists intimidate them into not doing their job.

If the GOP members can’t handle it, they need to resign.

Social science has an area called Symbolic Interactionism…within that area resides a great deal of attention to how people respond to symbols.

How I wish that, right after Trump took Power in 2017, Moscow McConnell had taken up with wearing peaked caps, jackboots and insignia on a military coat.

Maybe then people would internalize the harm he has done to our Republic. Certainly he does not get nearly enough credit for his evil, dressed in a business suit.
