    After impeaching him Democrats took control of the House, Senate, and the Presidency.

    It was 2 years after that that the House flipped, and even then Republicans still failed to take back the Senate and under-performed all expectations.

      Trumps 2nd impeachment was January 13th, 2021.

      The next election was 2022 and the House flipped. Literally flipped, 222 Democrats in the 117th Congress to 222 Republicans in the 118th.

          One thing can have power. 2024 will see it flip the other way because of abortion. People don’t forget this shit.
