You're reading a CNN article which is biased on the face of it. If those Republicans didn't vote for impeachment because of fear, why did those same congressmen vote against Cheney? Maybe they were telling her they were fearful because they didn't want to tell her to her face that she was wrong. As a leader of the party, you don't undermine it.
If you care about representative democracy, you sure as hell do when the party in question actually tried to overrule the results of a fair election. I know you think people should just "move on" etc., and I suspect more people would agree with you if we were talking about policy questions. I get it - we're on to the next guy now, so let's talk about that. But the problem is, we're really not. The Republicans, who have a real chance of regaining some portion of power in 2 years, are still actively supporting the person who is still claiming that the election was stolen.
Let me ask you this - in 2024, let's assume Trump runs again, and he loses the popular vote in states like AZ or PA, but let's also assume that Republicans have managed to retake and control those state legislatures/governments/house delegations. Do you think those states honor the outcome of the election, or do you think those Republican legislatures, who have suddenly had an amazing case of amnesia about January 6th, or who are still actively pursuing the idea that the election of 2020 was rigged - refuse to send Biden electors to the EC vote (or cast a vote in the House for Trump even if he lost?)
The reason Trump is still front and center is because Republicans are keeping him there.
Oh - one more thing. Short-term price volatility due to unforeseen events (like a major pipeline shutting down, or used car prices skyrocketing because new cars can't be produced due to chip shortages) isn't "inflation."
