This is not actually what is happening, though. Democrats are united on impeachment, so they don't have to waste any time infighting, while Republicans are deeply divided. President Biden is on purpose staying out of it, saying it's Congress' job, and implementing a lot of policy changes. Democrats are also going to pass a major budget bill and virus relief plan on a simple majority vote, so nothing we're doing right now requires a great deal of bipartisanship.
The net result is that the longer this drags out, the more preoccupied Republicans are, and the deeper the shame gets. They concentrate on this rather than attacking the vast array of policy changes that have already been implemented by Biden. They talk about Marjorie Taylor Green rather than Democratic cabinet nominees. They're arguing the election still while Democrats are forging ahead on a massive spending bill.
And come on, being able to paint the rival party as insurrectionist racist losers in a court-like setting is like a political capital printing machine. If that's the GOP strategy, then they're in worse shape than I thought.
