So Trump lights the country on fire his last couple months in office, but the Democrats(and a handful of patriotic Republicans) are the bad guys for trying to hold him accountable?
I reject the disingenuous framing of Democrat partisan tactics as "holding him accountable". Of course Trump is the big baddie here, but this doesnt make the Dems any less shitty.

I agree... I'd like to never think about Trump again. So the Senate should do their duty and convict/disqualify him. He'll never be able to run for office again.
Like I said previously, there is zero chance that Trump ever wins a general election again after the Capitol riots. I also consider it exceedingly unlikely that he would even win the GOP nomination in 2024 if he tried.
He has left office in disgrace, with bad approval ratings and a mediocre track record in terms of how his party is doing with him at the top of the ticket. (This is something that looked a lot more favorable for Trump back on election night, when everyone still assumed that the GOP would hold the GA seats and thus the Senate.) Why would the party nominate him again?
And that's not even taking into account the fact that being banned from twitter robs him of his most potent instrument of power. And that he'd be 77 years old, whereas he already looked spent and visibly slowed down over the past 4 years. And that he will be entangled in endless lawsuits and litigation now that his immunity has ended. The attorneys from the SDNY have been waiting for this moment for 4 years, they're gonna have a field day with him.
If you guys looked at it with a cool head, you would see that there's no chance for him to become president again.

Eh, support for impeachment only stands at 56% in this poll. Not really a huge majority in favor, and not that much higher than Biden's 51.3% vote share.
And among Republicans voters, impeachment is way underwater:
