24. This has been normalized. I fear it is too late

All this damned hand-wringing about how they're "legally" taking over the House in January and will be in control is seriously pissing me the fuck off.

I understand that removing them via the 14th Amendment is impossible as Congress currently stands, but everyone is just moving on and acting like this is business as usual, normalizing insurrection and sedition.

They took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to subvert it! They tried to overthrow the government! How is it okay that they still have jobs in Congress????? It isn't! But no one is talking about it, and moving on means accepting and condoning what they did.

The very least Pelosi could have done was to sanction them or take a no-confidence vote. SOMETHING. DO SOMETHING.

Doing nothing means the rest of Congress accepts sedition.
