   All Americans have to treat Trump as a menace to democracy with 5 more days of access to Presidential powers.
   Trump will not stop plotting to fracture our beloved democracy until the moment he leaves office.
   He will continue to plot against it afterwards too.
   Beware.

    The personal safety argument doesn’t come close to justifying the 197 non-impeachment votes in the House.

    A person too fearful to vote their conscience should resign immediately. You’ve just told the nation’s enemies that a well-placed threat can compromise your vote.
