This has always been the "heads I win, tails you lose" proposition of the 2a crowd, where people of color forfit their right to legal protection from murder if they choose to exercise their right to bear arms. Now that class is expanding to include white people who oppose white supremacy.

The load-bearing example for this theory of impeachment-aversion is based on a single, plainly bad faith impeachment in the '90s, that was led by a guy who was caught literally Newt Gingriching his own wife at the time.
