Trump went out of his way to hurt government employees who told the truth,

By firing them, or removing them from their position, or forcing them to resign and retire , and taking their pension away from them . All for telling the truth . Now trump attempts and failure turning over the election, and a coup, attacking our Democracy to make him have absolute power by force and Republicans in our Congress voted against holding HIM accountable, with consequences.
If the GOP Senators refuse to convict him that means HE gets a pension after attempting a coup, and he'll steal from us even more with funneling money from allowances he's given, SS accommodation's, office allowances for the rest of his life, that we have to pay him. That's going to piss people off if they allow that to happen after the reign of terror he's put us through, and I think it'll damage all those in the GOP that supported his escape from having consequences forever. It'll piss me off him getting anything for what he's done, and it'll be a great campaign commercial for future re-election attempts against them. trump will also terrorize the GOP no matter what they do, and try to hurt even his main supporters. This time they need to convict him, and give others an indication they will have consequences. Giving someone a pension for a failed coup against our government where people were murdered is going against their oath they took, and enables extremists.
