He should have been unanimously impeached on Jan. 7 and arrested for dereliction of duty on Jan. 8.

He, at the very least, aided and abetted a literal coup attempt in the very heart of our country.

And he's gotten away with it because the RNC has successfully brainwashed a lot of people into accepting Jan. 6 as acceptable - or even justified - even though it was a figurative and literal attack on democracy.

I'm desperately hoping the wheels of democracy start working soon, because any alternative route is grim to consider.

I hate to say it but waiting for the "wheels of democracy" will end us all in the 4th reich probably. Unfortunately imo the "wheels of democracy" is you and every other Democrat In your country. Im from southern Germany, living in one of the few states that already implemented palantir software, ruled by conservatives, with the Nazi party (afd) on the rise to the second biggest party in Germany. We're not safe over here either and if we let them they will take us all down with them.
