Senior Editor at The New Republic, Jeet Heer, went on a tweet storm today about what to expect if President Trump were to be impeached. Here are just the first three. Brace yourselves:

1. So the big hot take on the left is "Why push for impeachment? President Pence would be worse!" Can I explain why this is nonsense?

2. Trump & Pence bad but different. Trump is chaotic evil, Pence is lawful evil. Trump is the Joker, Pence the Grand Inquisitor.

3. Worst case scenario under Pence is The Handmaid's Tale (theocratic totalitarianism). With Trump it's Mad Max (nuclear apocalypse).

Pence as president could result in “theocratic totalitarianism”?

No overreacting here. https://t.co/UyDHtjIVF2

Oh, not at all!

There are actual theocratic totalitarian states in 2017, but you don't want to talk about them. https://t.co/Xe3gWQDbVa

No, theocratic totalitarianism isn't a scenario, even a worst case one, under Mike Pence https://t.co/hHyUNiEsqY
