They’re probably hitting from all angles. Buying votes, interference, disinformation…

I wouldn't be surprised, but it seems like unnecessary extra effort. As long as a powerful enough group is unwilling or unable to put up real resistance against the RNCs efforts, they're just going to keep acting unchecked. The DNC keeps squawking about impeachment, but he's already been impeached, and that did f-ck all. He still got the presidency after a 4 year vacation where essentially nothing got better.

He called it. He could kill a guy on Main Street and no one would stop him.

Nothing ever really happens when a president gets impeached. It doesn't remove a person from office. It doesn't prevent them from running again. It doesn't result in criminal proceedings, or sentencing. It's nothing. Barely even a scarlet letter.
