warning: politics ahead
If you've seen the results of the impeachment vote, you might've noticed something peculiar: not a single republican voted "no" on either article.
Well, actually, that's wrong. One did. It's just that to do so, he had to leave the party. Justin Amash, previously a republican, was effectively forced out of the party in order to vote this way to begin with, and he's now an independant.
The thing is, his other policies are still predominantly republican, and this serves as a pretty good example of why american politics are so polarized: any step outside of the party's interests is considered political suicide.
