So it's "not your problem" if trump gets back in for 4 more years?
So impeach. Once you can get the conviction. Anything short of that is like a DA going to trial without a chance of winning and turning the child rapist back out onto the streets with no double jeopardy.
It would be an escape to drop into the idealism hole. I did that when I was "young". It made me feel good, but it helped screw over a lot of other people. Now that I am older (and wiser) I know that it takes work to get something good done. It might feel nice to think you can just wish and have a magic swipe make everything all gooder. But this isn't about me getting to feel nice or me getting to feel superior. This is about other people and what will make the country better. I think it's worth the work.
