Yeah, I know, process. Takes time. Have patience. Trust the DOJ. "Do you want them to walk on technicalities?"
Blah, blah, blah.
The disgusting spectacle playing out in the House by the Insurrectionist Caucus is because in TWO FUCKING YEARS they have suffered no accountability.
The result is these people now have the actual power to do whatever the fuck they want.

Or, to knock it down to workable size since there are significantly more of us than them, the problem was maybe 2M fewer voters nationally than we needed to keep the house and pass the new democracy-protection laws they've made necessary. We've already written the laws.
