It is very funny that democrats took both houses of congress and are 8 days away from the presidency and their #1 message is a hysterical “WE HAVE TO GET THE CHEETO OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE”

there is nothing more The Democrats than impeaching a guy after he leaves office while millions are literally starving

@kate yes, and i wish that congress could give some actual fucking survival checks enough for people to live on & i hesitate to defend the dems bc they're shitty corporate neoliberals. BUT impeachment and removal from office means trump loses his financial benefits, secret service protection, and ability to run for president again. the georgia runoffs mean the senate is split 50-50 and actually has a chance of convicting him if the coup attempt shook loose enough republican "centrist" types to get up to a 2/3 majority.
so it's not 100% THE CHEETO OMG as if they're worried about what he can do with his remaining few days in office, it's more about setting the precedent that US presidents can't do a sedition in office and incite fascists to tear up congress, and also preventing some amount of future harm

@kate ok to be fair that take sounded more lib than i intended it to but lol ill piss off now
