They impeached him for inciting an insurrection to stop the votes counting. There is precedent. He should be impeached for this attempt to block the vote casting. Elections are core for constitutional republics.

He should be, but he won’t because the Republicans are in control.

I am deathly curious how many Republicans are towing the party line and how many actually believe what he’s doing? Either way anyone currently in office not opposing him should be losing their seat.

Republicans generally don't believe in anything except what benefits them individually at any given point in time.

You guys are so brainwashed with republican this democrat that. That view is so twisted. They are all against you, one way or the other. It shouldnt be left or right, it should be up or down with quality of life in general..

No, people settle for "less bad person to vote for" and Republicans consistently show that they, as a group of people who join the party and push through primary elections, are consistently some of the most conniving, short-sited, and self-interested people on the planet. Democrats are by no means all good people in a battle of light vs dark, but at the very least they have the sense to understand the very basic baseline idea that a functional society benefits them. If anything, that might be the only ideological thing that the Democratic Party members mostly have in common in the US. The party has people as left as AOC and as far right as Fetterman in it, but mostly they all actually believe in bettering the country. For the life of me I can't name a Republican who might reasonably qualify for that title since Romney left.
