There is a massive infestation of fascism in the populace and the political ranks. It's so large you can't risk a conflagration. Tamping it down, bit by bit, calming down rhetoric, letting time go by and tempers cool down, is how you find a path back to normal. As much as I dislike McConnell, he acknowledged several major points against Trump. And I don't want to admit he has made an implied point: do we really want to establish precedent that we try and convict former presidents. Because if you do it once, it will be done again, and they will come for us Democrats as you well know. There is great wisdom in the strong stand for our Constitution, and let the DOJ and court systems deal with the further fallout, beginning with all the indictments against insurgents already underway.
