The point was driven home for four years now. And post election, poof.

Is it surrender, or is it protecting self-interest? I honestly don't know. But we are once again wasting time like we did when we could have prosecuted the buffoon and labelled him as an insurrectionist before the Supreme Court could have said "immunity." We're letting the clock run out while the best opportunities to resist and set up our opposition are going to waste.
