BECAUSE THERE ARE TRUMPERS WHO DON'T BELIEVE HOW HARROWING THE INSURRECTION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, BY TRUMPERS, WAS
Yes. There are Trumpublicans who deceive themselves and pretend that what happened on January 6, was just a "tiny bit of rowdiness." There are Trumpublicans who want to move on and pretend January 6 wasn't that big of a deal, when, in fact, it was an insurrection against the government of the United States of American, incited by its sitting president, Donald J. Trump, and carried out by his proto-fascist movement, and that, according to American history and Constitutional scholars is a definition of treason. What happened on January 6, incited by Donald J. Trump, WAS treasonous.
Here is an account by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of what she experienced that day:
"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she was told that trauma victims should “tell their stories” as a part of their healing. And that is what she did Monday night in the most compelling, heartbreaking and infuriating 60 minutes available on any screen, at any time this week. The New York congresswoman initiated a live stream on Instagram and, against a plain white wall and with little fanfare, recounted what had happened to her during the violent invasion of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
She talked about flattening herself behind her bathroom door as someone entered her office, screaming, “Where is she? Where is she?” It turned out to be a police officer, but until she learned that, “I thought I was going to die.”
She talked about eventually escaping to the office of Rep. Katie Porter (Calif.), where the two Democratic congresswomen rifled through staffers’ gym bags, searching for sneakers they could change into in case they needed to jump out a window or run. About how they debated what to do if they had to flee again, wondering: “Are some offices safer than others, because they have white-sounding names or male-sounding names?”
She talked about how, later, she found herself questioning the motives of a law-enforcement officer who had given her hazy instructions on how to reach an evacuation point. Was that because he was confused and under duress? Or was that because he didn’t care whether she was caught by the rioters?
Ocasio-Cortez, her voice wavering, revealed during the live stream that she was a survivor of sexual assault, something she said many people did not know, because there were only so many times she’d wanted to tell that story. But she was mentioning it now, she said, because of its relevance to the attack at the Capitol.
Jan. 6, she said, people began implying the insurrection “wasn’t a big deal,” or that reconciliation depended on “moving on.”
Those words, she said, were the tactics of “an abuser.”

The current GOP is the party of cultists and whackos
With the GOP becoming increasingly loony and keeping the anti-Democracy Donald J. Trump as the leader of the party, who's surprised at learning how many sane people are leaving?
The only people left in the GOP are cultists and whackos:
Ignore her, shun her but let her remain in office as Exhibit A for the harm -- fatal, perhaps -- that Trump has caused his disintegrating party.
(Reuters) - Dozens of Republicans in former President George W. Bush's administration are leaving the party, dismayed by a failure of many elected Republicans to disown Donald Trump after his false claims of election fraud sparked a deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol last month.
These officials, some who served in the highest echelons of the Bush administration, said they had hoped that a Trump defeat would lead party leaders to move on from the former president and denounce his baseless claims that the November presidential election was stolen.
But with most Republican lawmakers sticking to Trump, these officials say they no longer recognize the party they served. Some have ended their membership, others are letting it lapse while a few are newly registered as independents, according to a dozen former Bush officials who spoke with Reuters.
"The Republican Party as I knew it no longer exists. I’d call it the cult of Trump," said Jimmy Gurulé, who was Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence in the Bush administration.

Marjorie Taylor Green represents the current Republican Party
My fb friend Michael K. wrote the piece below, and it needs to be seen by a lot more people:
"Marjorie Taylor Green, the newly elected congresswoman, has supported QAnon, and the disgusting view that the Sandy Hook, Parkland and Las Vegas mass shootings were false flag operations. She has called for Pelosi's assassination.
The more you look at her, the more despicable she appears. She remains seated in Congress, remains likely to be seated on a committee, and remains undenounced by the vast majority of her colleagues. She is one of the more egregious examples of the extent to which the Republican Party has been captured by paranoia, madness and lust for violence. There are many others.
These are the people with whom we are supposed to seek 'unity '. We have a very big problem in this country, and the more it's examined, the bigger it gets:
Survivors of the 2018 mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, are asking congressional Republicans to publicly censure Marjorie Taylor Greene for suggesting the school shooting was a “false flag” and for harassing a teenage survivor on Capitol Hill in 2019.
Greene, the newly elected Georgia congresswoman who is known for her support of the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory, was filmed in March 2019 as she followed 18-year-old David Hogg, one of the students who survived the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high school, outside Capitol Hill.
In the clip from 25 March, Greene can be heard calling Hogg a 'coward,' demanding that he explain how the students were able to set up meetings with so many lawmakers, and telling him that she herself was a gun owner. Greene tells Hogg that gun control will not work, and that his classmates would not have been killed if one of the law enforcement officers assigned to guard the school had 'done his job.' 'She later addresses her viewers, echoing false yet frequently spread conspiracy claims that mass shooting survivors and family members of victims are 'crisis actors' and the attacks that killed their loved ones were staged as a plot to pass gun control laws..."
Greene’s post, which hasn’t previously been reported, is just the latest example to be unearthed of her embracing conspiracy theories about tragedies during her time as a right-wing commentator.
In addition to being a QAnon supporter, Greene has pushed conspiracy theories about 9/11, the Parkland and Sandy Hook school shootings, the Las Vegas shooting, and the murder of Democratic staffer Seth Rich, among others.
Greene also has a history of pushing anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic remarks.
CNN’s Em Steck and Andrew Kaczynski recently reported that on her Facebook page, “Greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress.”
“Greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress.”
************************
This is the new Republican Party: Electing and supporting people who call for murdering elected members of Congress. A political party that tolerates this sort of thing is not a political party anymore, but a Fifth Column advocating the overthrow the United States government.
Taylor and any other Republican in Congress who promote the murder of elected officials should be kicked out, shunned, and shamed. That's what a party of decent and patriotic people would do.
The current Republican Party is neither. And neither are the people who support.

Impeach and Convict Trump
#trumpterrorists
This is the Tweet Donald Trump sent out just before his insurrectionist/terrorist thugs attacked the Capitol building, went looking to hang/murder Mike Pence, and mercilessly beat and killed a Capitol policeman:
And this is one disgusting example of how Trump cultists and anti-American, anti-democracy GOPers reacted:
I’m pretty sure that TINY BIT OF ROWDINESS, at the capital, is nothing, compared to the bloody noses, that will come of this, if the Left continues it’s way’s.
I for one am so angry, that I have to force myself to turn off TV and try and think of something pleasant. But of course that don’t work.
I find my self dreaming how I can mow down those Antifa bums with my Hummer. Problem is no matter how I look at it I still get caught and prosecuted, because, I’m a Trump Supporter.
I find shaking my head in disbelief, because, of what has happened to this country, AND ALL BECAUSE 1 MAN STOOD UP TO THE ELITES.
A majority in the GOP still supports Trump and is against holding him accountable for the insurrection against the United States of America.
The only conclusion one can come to is that the current GOP is a rogue party that supported the overthrow of America's government by trying to undo a fair and legal election by the proto-fascist thug, Donald J. Trump, who sought to stay in power by illegal means.
I can hardly believe I typed that. But it is correct.
Seems very clear. Trump incited an attack on the Capitol. A CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER WAS MURDERED beaten to death by the insurrections. Trump's Senate impeachment trial is in a few weeks.
Are SENATE REPUBLICANS okay with the attack on the Capitol and the murder?
1923, Adolf Hitler led a failed coup. He was treated leniently. Germany moved on.
A decade later, he was a dictator, and the worst disaster in the history of the civilized world ensued.
In 2021, when the president of the
United States leads a failed coup, we must impeach and convict.

TRUMP NEEDS TO BE CONVICTED FOR HIS CRIMES
Trump told his armed mobs that Mike Pence had the power to overturn the election results (he did not).
Trump's armed mobs went looking for Mike Pence to do him harm.
"The president of the United States, with the broad approval of GOP leaders, systematically attempted to invalidate millions of votes from disproportionately minority voters. When that effort failed, Trump invited a mob to Washington, whipped up its resentments, directed it toward Capitol Hill, urged it to intimidate legislators and disrupt a constitutional process, challenged it to “fight,” and then refused to intervene while domestic terrorists hunted for Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in the hallways of the Capitol." --Michael Gerson
