How can republicans be lawmakers when they can't tell the difference between right and wrong?

They did not hold a trial in the Senate after The House gave them reams of documentation as to the guilt of djt. Now, after inciting an insurrection against our democracy where he basically unleashed assassins against another branch of our government, not a single one of the repubs knows what side of the law to stand on? Are not most of these elected repubs lawyers? Who would grant them a degree for they are as ignorant of the basics of right and wrong as a 2 year old? Oh, yes, Harvard and Yale Law Schools! Well elite Law Schools, is that why we have to listen to these arss holes in the first place. Let us cut this BS elitism law school steel cord now. Just because you graduated from an Ivy Law school no longer gives you any moral authority over anyone. We actually respect your crowd less. and your fucking schools too.

...of attacks against them or their family.

They know this beast that they unleashed is uncontrollable.

There are some yahoos who support the coup. But I'm sure many are now just scared shitless.

Everything they do with power hurts people and weakens our government.

They are high functioning psychopaths.

"Everything is just an opinion" is the kind of crap that I've often heard from them. That idea means that nothing can be deemed objectively true!
