Months after former President Trump was acquitted of “incitement of insurrection,” the Ohio Republican Party is reportedly set to vote on a resolution this week to censure GOP lawmakers who voted to impeach Trump, which includes Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), according to Fox News.
The resolution urges Republicans to “unify as a party” and uphold the Constitution and “rule of law” before voting to censure House Republicans who voted “to support the unconstitutional, politically motivated impeachment proceeding” against Trump, according to Fox News.
Anytime one of the 1/6 congressional seditionists show up on television there ought to be a pop up chyron like the VH1 show Pop up video stating that they either incited an insurrection, didn’t vote to certify a secure, free and fair election and continue to push the big lie.
Trump has become a purity test for the Republican party, which seems insane since he lost the presidency. Are Republicans really convinced that they can get people to vote for Trump policies, especially after the people see how things are improving under Biden? Sure, it may lock their base to them, but the base isn’t enough to hold power across the nation, especially as we move forward in time. It’s just nuts watching them shred anyone who won’t declare fealty to Trump.
They are also becoming even more unhinged as time goes on, and really risk throwing away their advantage in the 2022 election. At least I hope so…in some parts of the nation this is going to go well, but I don’t see the majority of Americans falling down the QAnon rabbit hole or believing that Trump really won in 2020 or that the insurrection wasn’t a big deal (especially once the trials really get going in the next year).
The divorce from reality by the Republican party is going to threaten the nation at this rate…if they remain disconnected from facts I’m not sure they will be willing to continue as part of the US without ruling it in a dictatorship, and that just won’t work out well for them.
