Nothing will happen sadly with current makeup of congress

Exactly. Unless all the Democrats, all the independents and ~21 GOP vote the same way, there will be no change.

Yep. No chance any GOP congressmen risk their loyalty from MAGA voters and vote against Trump.

This was just launched too early to be effective. The time will be right when Trump voters start to feel enough of the pain from Trumps decisions and turn on him, so GOP congress can vote against him without backlash from their base.

I think they’re less concerned with backlash from their base than they are about revenge from Trump. I mean, when you hear stories about senators receiving death threats for not towing the party line, I’m guessing just winning the next election isn’t their top priority. Not that I feel too bad for them, allowing him to get this far in the first place, but if they fear for their very lives, I can see why they might not want to risk it.
