Here's a funny thing about the right to vote: it wasn't won by voting.
Two suffragists in period dress, ceremonially putting ballots into a ballot box. The background has been replaced with an elaborate collage of 19th C printing-press parts. The ballots are glowing with radiant spikes. The face of the ballot box has been replaced with an Nvidia Vera Lynn GPU.

The Democrats of that era failed when they dropped impeachment after Nixon's resignation. And then not impeaching Ford for pardoning Nixon. There's a lesson here about elite accountability that today's Dems seem to have not learned yet.

A U.S. Army psychologist Gustave M. Gilbert interviewed Nazi war criminals on trial at Nuremberg and famously wrote in his 1950 book, "Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy." It was the *lack* of empathy that made the Holocaust possible.
U.S. Army psychologist noting all the Nuremberg war criminals lacked empathy.

To all those who say we should forget impeachment and focus on getting the courts to stop the vile abuses of executive power: Have a look at this ⬇️. Impeachment and removal are necessary first steps in restoring our constitutional rights.

Amendment 14 Section 3 makes all of Trump’s actions illegitimate. Pardons void. Even then, the case should be made that crimes of the President that are impeachable specifically named in the Constitution can not be pardoned. Seems obvious.

Every single Dem Congressperson has the ability & duty to introduce & force a vote on impeachment articles for the various crimes of the Trump regime. Yet only one has done so; @repalgreen And, even then, many Dems voted to support Trump There's a reason Trump thinks he can get away with it.

Everyone who dislikes Trump knows why, but it's important to know what made people who gave him a second chance after the insurrection regret it. We don't want to talk ourselves into the idea that it's always bad to move fast, unilaterally, unless that's true. www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

Peter Magyar is currently enacting a Liberal Currents fantasy where he amends the constitution to ban anyone associated with the old regime from ever holding office again and is somehow polling at 68% (he won with 53%) and I’m not saying that’s possible anywhere else but Dems should like, ask him

Usurping the power of the purse is an impeachable offense. You have not introduced articles of impeachment over it. In fact, you have stood with Trump against impeachment 3 times. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with this info you clearly don't care about.

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"
