So apparently Private Citizen Trump's lawyers are bemoaning that this impeachment and trial amount to "Constitutional cancel culture".
To which I respond, "well, duh".
Isn't that the whole point of impeachment and conviction in the Senate? To remove someone from office, or determine they should no longer be allowed to hold public office? You know, in other words, using a Constitutional remedy to cancel someone from public life?
I guess the modern GOP believes they just need to trot out the phrase "cancel culture" in some accusatory tone and they've won the argument. Or at the least invoking the magic words will satisfy their base. Hearing the words "cancel culture" the GOP members and their followers can simply nod knowingly and suspend any further thought or analysis.
Case, and minds, closed.
