I'm sure that most of you know this election was a referendum on Donald Trump, and deep in your hearts you understand he is terribly unfit for the office he holds. It is time for you to remember your duty to serve all the citizens of this great country, and your sworn oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States of America.
You no longer need be bound to that deeply flawed person, or to his policies which have damaged our economy and institutions at home and our standing abroad as leader of the free world.
There is much work ahead, as servants of the people, to repair the damage and build a better future for all Americans. We may not agree on everything, but with civil discourse based on facts, sound science, and common goals, we can work together in achieving those goals today and for generations to come.
The choice is yours. You can continue on the ruinous course which has led to this point, or you can unburden yourselves from this president and embrace the highest ideals upon which our nation was founded.

I am under no illusion that Republicans who gave this POtuS standing ovations for his lies and vile rhetoric will do the right thing. But it is good politics, which places the burden on them.
Extending an olive branch does not mean we abandon our goals for the people we serve, or forget about holding accountable the criminals in this administration. Impeachment at the top is necessary to "unburden" America from this president. We'll deal with Vance when the time comes.
Our country needs justice under the rule of law, not grievance and retribution. Emotions run high, but we have to engage our rational minds and critical thinking skills if we are to succeed in dumping American fascism onto the ash heap of history, and build that "more perfect union" for a better and more sustainable future.
