You Will Be Punished

For John, BLUF:  The whole Impeachment Trial of Citizen Donald Trump is a farce, but there are tens of millions who take it seriously.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Democrats to impeach all 75 million Americans who voted for Trump

From Genesius Times, by Reporter Rafi Metz, 9 February 2021.

Here is the lede plus one:

In a stunning and unprecedented move, Senate Democrats have subjected all 75 million Americans who voted for Trump to the Senate’s impeachment trial.

“If we can put a former president who’s now a private citizen on trial, we can put anyone on trial,” Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.  “It’s not only Trump we’re after, but all of his voters as well who enabled his reckless behavior of abiding by the Constitution for this long.  They too must suffer the consequences of his actions.  I’m confident we’ll end up convicting Trump and the 75 million Americans who voted for him, disqualifying all of them from ever holding federal office again.”

I think this article is in error.  I think 75 million is too high.  President Trump only garnered 74 million votes.  Thus, there are near one million Citizens who will be spared, but that still means 74 million plus vters will be convicted and denied their political rights.  Sort of like those who swore allegience to the Confederacy, but without a means of recovery.

The photo of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is priceless.

I wonder if Snopes has evaluated this?
