I just voted to impeach donald trump for inciting insurrection and trying to violently end American democracy.
Donald Trump is dangerous and the greatest internal threat ever to American democracy. Trump sowed insurrection to overthrow our government and he came close to succeeding. Trump engaged in treason.
Trump's atrocities have not abated but accelerated by failure to constrain him. The blood of dead is on his hands. If his actions are not impeachable, then nothing is. And when he is out of office, trump must be prosecuted for his crimes too.
What the world witnessed on January 6th was not spontaneous but a product of republicans lying to the nation for months about the election and spouting Big Lies about our government for decades. They built this Frankenstein threatening our democracy.
History will condemn republicans years-long failure to stop trump’s atrocities, and so too can we today pronounce judgement on their cowardice. They have betrayed the Constitution and had these republicans been around in 1776 or 1861 or 1941, the nation may not have made it.
In the coming days we must decide which congressional republicans are unfit to hold office. If we fail to hold trump and his enablers accountable, America will lurch inexorably down the path of lawlessness and fascism.
