Senate Republicans Vote to Dismiss Impeachment Article

 

One of the justifications being offered by most Republican senators, for not holding former president Donald Trump accountable for inciting insurrection, is that to do so would promote disunity and inflame further violence. 
That argument smacks of appeasement and evokes a striking parallel to the disastrous response of Britain to Hitler's annexation of Czechoslovakia. When will these Republicans learn from history that ignoring naked aggression only invites greater incursions and that appeasement for the sake of perceived political gain is the surest path to national self-destruction.
