At what point do Republicans grow a spine and get rid of their biggest problem?

I am so, so ****ing tired of talking about Donald Trump. He’s like a pest that will not go away no matter how many traps you put throughout the house. Somehow, he infiltrates almost every facet of everyone’s lives. Nothing is safe from his presence.
Now, in his second presidential term, his influence, even amongst his supporters, is beginning to wane. Too little, too late, but points for people finally seeing the light. The problem now, though, is that second-term-Trump is somehow even worse than first-term-Trump by a wide margin. The dog is fully off the leash and running amok.
While the cons of this outweigh the pros, there’s one very big pro: Trump cares so little about the future of the Republican Party or even the country as a whole, and that’s very good for those running politically against his platform. There wouldn’t be wide swings toward Democratic victories like we’ve seen over the last few months without such a wide rebuke of Trump’s policies and general methods of conducting business.
The thing is though… if you’re a Republican and you want to stop the political massacre coming your way in the next few months, the solution is easy: just ditch him.
Literally. It’s that simple. Impeach, convict and remove. It’s not hard.
I mean, sure, JD Vance is as likable as the monkeys that are currently bullying Punch, but Vance also will not embarrass you on an international scale every single day (as long as you don’t keep sending him to the Vatican because The Pope clearly hates him). Vance isn’t likeable enough to be a cult of personality, and you don’t need another one of those now. Look where it got you.
There is no real upside of humoring Trump anymore. He’s a lame duck. He cannot constitutionally run again, and he knows it, despite what he says. His hardcore base will not show up for you, and there’s not as many of those people left as you may think.
Everyday he remains behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, or rambling on in public about literally nothing coherent whatsoever, is another day you seal your electoral fates. It’s another day that you look like hypocrites for the way you mocked Joe Biden.
While we’re on that topic, I’ll say it: Trump is worse than Joe Biden in terms of his physical and verbal capacity to lead. Period. Yeah, Biden was so old his words jumbled together, but Biden at his most physically ill and verbally incoherent is miles ahead of Trump at this point. And notably, Joe Biden for all his faults is not mentioned in the Epstein Files over 1,000,000 times. He’s not even mentioned once.
Every day that Trump is still in power is an absolute indictment on the country. While they’re gaining ground, Democrats still don’t have a strong enough electoral assembly to do anything about it, but the Republicans could absolutely lead the charge. They could start that process right now if they wanted.
There are a million legitimate reasons to get rid of him and send him into political exile for good. Everyday that Republicans refuse to engage and do what needs to be congressionally done is just as big of an indictment on them as it is on the “leader” that they still support for some god forsaken reason. Every time they stand up at a State of the Union and clap like seals because their dear leader managed to not fall asleep at the podium just adds to their own shame.
Stop taking his crap. You can do something about this. If you don’t, it’ll cost you in the long run.
