Assuming all democrats in the House vote to impeach, it will take 4 republicans joining them to reach the 50% threshold to succeed. That could honestly be doable. The Senate is another story. It would take 20 republicans to vote with all the democrats and independents to reach the 67% needed to convict. Not impossible, but a profoundly uphill battle.
Call your reps, protest, make noise. As long as the republicans think that Trump’s hordes will keep them in office for supporting him, they won’t cave. If we can convince them that the MAGA loons will not be enough to get them reelected and keep their cushy jobs, they’ll flip. They are not loyal to Trump, they are afraid of him.

The problem is, in what way would all the senators be threatened if they don’t vote against?
Because I guarantee that trump’s administration has dirt on every single one of them.
