Yes, Trump, has been impeached again—but it's neither him nor that mob that stormed the Capitol that poses the greatest danger now. It's the 148 GOP legislators who voted to reject the election results—just as the president and the mob demanded. New piece. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/more-dangerous-capitol-riot/617655/

*147! Sorry!

Even better correction: *147 not a single of whom has yet recanted or apologized. And remember, this is after a good many of them got spooked by the mayhem and the violence of the day, and changed their minds on voting to overturn the election. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/more-dangerous-capitol-riot/617655/

Ridiculousness of Trump's attempts to steal the election hid their seriousness. Let's not now be misled by the polite veneer and the formal nature of what happened on the floor after the mob was cleared, when legislators voted to their bidding. No excuses. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/more-dangerous-capitol-riot/617655/
