There was never any evidence raised by the ultra right wing, but they wanted to impeach just as revenge for Trump losing the election.
They haven't really hidden this fact. Some have outright admitted that it's a revenge and intimidation tactic and their intent to toss around trumped-up (no pun intended) charges against random democrats in retaliation for investigations on Republicans. Heck, do you honestly think the GOP actually would give half a shit about what Biden's cokehead son is doing if they couldn't use it as political leverage?
This was always one of the fears of our two-party system: an attempt to investigate one party's illegal activity would almost assuredly lead to revenge investigations and made-up charges from the other side as they try to muddy the waters and dilute the seriousness of the charges, leading to what is effectively a breakdown of government. And as we've seen with our current House of Representatives (and even the Senate to a lesser degree), those fears were entirely justified.
They want for so much and act like petulant children wether or not they get it.
Truly losers.
Sad.
Yet they call the left entitled. Say it with me now: Projection
It's actually more involved than that.
My dad, red-blooded every-thing Democra- hating (including now, seeming, Democracy itself) Goldwater Republican has said that Dems are owed payback going all the way back to Nixon. This opened my eyes on a lot of things.
Needless to say, the GQP is beyond angry that they haven't paid Dems back for Nixon in 40 years. Team Blue has its grievances as well, but unlike Team Red, we're not planning the mass murder of their politicans and voters. They ARE for us, and I'm not sure how many more rage points they can rack up before they start putting that plan in practice.
Yep...many Red Teamers bitched when we just marched holding signs. "Rioting in the streets," they said. Then they lost, and they rioted at DC and in the halls of government. Projection, much?
