Republican Party must convict Trump
Republicans should vote to convict President Trump in the impeachment trial, not only to save the country but to save the Republican Party. Many of the supporters of the insurrection in Washington D.C. were “Proud Boys” who chanted “F--- antifa." They may not understand what they were chanting, but “antifa” is short for “antifascist.” That is what our soldiers, sailors and Marines were during World War II. They were fighting fascism in Europe led by Hitler and Mussolini. (Incidentally, check out some old YouTube films of Mussolini speeches and see who he reminds you of in U.S. leadership today, along with his armed “black shirts”.) Trump supporters hate “antifa” because it symbolizes those opposed to fascism as represented by Trump today.
