* that I've seen on the internet who are taking great delight in shitting on Democrats. It seems that many online had a fantasy that the Democrats would tackle Trump as he entered, or that they would rush the podium in the House Chamber, and that anything less would be tantamount to collusion.

Uh... they should have know that's not going to happen. But it's an interesting fantasy, though.

Fantasy.
