| Topic | What would have happened differently if the insurrection killed politicians? |

As it stands, they held it for just long enough for the immediate outrage to subside and their base to go back to valuing opposing democrats more than seeking justice for these crimes, then they went back to supporting Trump because that seems like the best political move. Dragging out that transition further might have influenced the outcome of the impeachment because they might have kept up that facade until after it had finished, but if it came to that, odds are they'd come up with some excuse to delay the impeachment trial until they felt they could vote against it. --- This is my signature.
