After GOP let Trump go last Jan we saw a year of epic malevolence - COVID disaster, economy crashes, assault on election/USPS/Census, domestic crackdown, attack on Congress.

What happens if GOP lets him go again?

My bet - Trump assumes clear leadership of violent insurgency. https://twitter.com/simonwdc/status/1359489212907728901
Reality of what happened on Jan 6th becoming clearer - the President lead an armed insurrection against Congress.

And while a few hundred have been arrested, most of the insurrectionists remain free; and Trump/GOP still refuse to demand they stand down. https://twitter.com/jsrailton/status/1359883769445031941
Rather than contrition, apologies from those who worked with Trump to push the Big Lie and a domestic insurgency, if anything we are seeing the seditionists dig in, and grow in case some cases more radical, extreme. https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1359676426736332800
If Trump isn't convicted he's already planning on re-entering politics.

His political vehicle is called "Save America" - the same phrase used on Jan 6th to organize the attack on Congress.

He's institutionalizing a violent insurgency. https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1355280580372520960
So if Trump isn't convicted, the GOP will giving Trump a green light to continue normalizing violence as a political tool against their domestic political opponents.

If Trump isn't convicted, we have some very very hard days ahead of us as a nation.
The dangers of letting Trump go again were central to today's case by the House Impeachment managers.

Given the disaster the year after this last acquittal has been, this is no small matter: https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1359986314981031939
