These people are the main ones:

Mitch McConnell had the power to have Trump convicted after that second impeachment and Trump would have been barred from running for public office again.

Merrick Garland waited way too long to assign a special prosecutor to go after Trump for J6.

SCOTUS (because of the six conservative justices) failed to disqualify Trump under the 14th amendment insurrection clause, deliberately slow-walked the case, and then gave Trump presidential immunity that's not even in the U.S. Constitution.

It's mainly because of them that our backs are now against the wall to defend our democracy from a wannabe tyrant.

If I had the power, I'd outlaw the Republican Party.
