67. I wonder if the Republicans are actually all-in for a new civil war?

Because it sure seems that way. They must know where this will lead to with their continued silence and capitulation. But if many of them are up to their eyeballs in Russian collusion then they may feel they have nothing to lose. It makes me wonder if they think that in the end, when the dust settles, and the bodies are all cleaned up off the streets, a new military government, led by Trumpist Generals, will create a strict, police state, where dissension is illegal for "national security" reasons. And new concentration camps set up for political prisoners. And the press, other than Fox State News, is shut down or just taken over. And the internet is policed much like in China and Russia. And Trump declares himself President, foregoing the usual election procedure also for "national security" reasons.

And then some of these top GOP traitors will get plum jobs in the new American fascist dictatorship, with powers they could only dream of, as opposed to sitting in a prison cell listening to President Kamala Harris give the SOTU
