this thread came to mind recently. some democrats have already started with the "oh, maybe it's a mistake to pursue trump with impeachment, the country is torn, it's a time for healing and bringing people together", etc. if the tables were turned, if the GOP had just gained control of the presidency and senate, and hundreds of left-wing protesters/terrorists just invaded the Capitol Building, you KNOW Mitch McConnell would not for a second hesitate to go in for the kill.
dems concerned with the feels, GOP see it as bloodsport.
