Schiff: 'unthinkable' what might happen if the US is 'forced to suffer another 4 years under TFG

The lawmaker who led then-President Donald Trump's first impeachment proceedings said he "cannot imagine" what will happen in the US if Trump runs for election in 2024 and wins.

"I cannot imagine what this country would look like if it were forced to suffer another four years under Donald Trump," Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Commitee, told Insider in an interview. "He's already done irrevocable damage to the country."

Schiff added that "we will recover from this presidency, but it will take years. Should the country have to go through that again, I just can't imagine what our democracy will look like. It's unthinkable. Every effort must be made to make sure that it never comes to pass."

Schiff's book, "Midnight in Washington: How We Lost Our Democracy and Still Could," was released on Tuesday. In his memoir, the California Democrat details at length his early life and professional background; how witnessing nationalism and xenophobic populism in eastern Europe in the 1990s prepared him for Trump's rise to power; and how he went from a relatively low-profile congressman on the intelligence committee to the Republican Party's bete noire in four years.

the Freedom to Vote Act. There's going to be a whole lot of Democratic votes lost in 2022 and 2024 if we don't see some updated legislation reining in the shit that the ReThugs have been scheming for years.
