    I doubt Jan 6 would be allowed to happen again. 1. The police and military would be ready and waiting. 2. The rest of us will be ready and waiting.

      I hope you’d be right in that case. If an impeachment of Trump got to a senate vote that was expected to pass (removing him from office), I just don’t see him going quietly. Especially considering he would still be in control of the military and well loved by the cops.

      I doubt that would come to pass though. The likelihood of the democrats getting enough votes to impeach and remove in 2026 seems far fetched. Especially since the current republican controlled congress is actively trying to pass voter suppression laws. Not to mention democratic voters don’t turn out for midterms like they do for presidential elections. Maybe that changes, but from here it seems improbable.
