We have the most disgraceful, criminal, traitorous president, ever, a man who has no use for rights, and the Congressional Democrats won’t impeach him? Why? Because we might not win.
During Watergate, the Senate was deadset behind Richard Nixon, who was coming off a historic trouncing of George McGovern. Yet, his support crumbled after House hearings. Public support for impeachment was only 19% when the hearings started, 58% after. Now, public support for impeachment, before the hearings have begun, is 45%. Mitch McConnell is weakening, as he has his own scandal to fight.
This is much more like Watergate and not anything like Whitewater. Watergate was for real. Whitewater was make-believe from beginning to end. Without the entrapment, Ken Starr had nothing.
People fail to imagine what a psychopathic narcissist like Trump is capable of doing the longer he’s in power. He’s already suggesting he might not leave in 2020, that for all his trouble with Mueller, he’s owed a couple more years. He’s already called on Barr to investigate the investigators. Are we going to wait until Congressional investigators, Schiff and Nadler, are arrested? Or wait for him to fulfill his campaign promise and arrest Hillary Clinton? Are we going to wait until he brings in Russian advisors to help him suppress rights? Or perhaps cancel elections outright? Or allow overwhelming interference. All of those are possible now. The only things rescuing us now are Trump’s stupidity and laziness.
Yeah, we might not win the impeachment, but we might lose everything else without it. Wake up, people, this is a dictator, and he’s winning only because we’re cowards. As long as he’s not confronted he will only get stronger. Personally, think it’s craven to stand against impeachment at this point. Cowardly. Every day he isn’t impeached, the Democrats hand him more power.
We have something the Germans, British, and French didn’t have during the rise of Hitler: the benefit of hindsight and historical analysis. The only thing preventing us from impeaching of Trump? Cowardice masquerading as a strategy.
We are facing potentially the end of the world. With Climate Change battering the Earth, we don’t have time to fight or obey a delusional dictator who’s literally misleading people. Trump and his climate change denial could doom the whole world. If he isn’t impeached, history told in the remaining future will look at the Democrats’ surrender to Trump disdainfully. Trying to remove our dictator with next year’s election, i.e. a broken status quo, will be a failure. I wish other Democrats could see this as clearly as I do.
