“They” are walking back the impeachment talk. The excuse is lame but the effect is still “they” are having second thoughts about it. Good.
So, we should all be gentlemanly losers like Romney, McCain etc., if there is a successful legal coup based upon political justice, not the rule of law? We should all smile at being disenfranchised? No way.
YOU represent the "democratic decline" in your abandonment of the virtues necessary to preserve this great Constitutional Republic.
Stay worried my friend.
Washington Compost throwing out more compost. What a surprise.
“They worry that core supporters of the impeached leader would consider his removal “a gussied-up coup d’etat” and walk away from the American project, drift toward revolutionary politics or even commit violence —”
Yep, we’d most likely kill you.
Excuse me, but just who is getting violent?
It’s wise to worry. I consider what they are attempting as a coup and promise a disproportionate response.
If the fear of violence is the one factor that’ll shut them up about impeachment, no problem.
Deterrence is what kept the US and USSR from rolling the Cold War into hot-war status. It has great value, actually.
They only say stuff like that to excite their idiotic base. Start talking about impeachment and the snowflakes get so caught up their dismalcratic leaders can wreak more havoc in plain sight.
Notice how they emphasize Impeachment in the House but omit any mention of Conviction and Removal in the Senate - as if just being Impeached is all it takes.
They d*mn well better be worried.
I, and many others, are sick and tired of being lectured, lied, and loathed by a group of folks who really are not even smart enough to be baristas.
A tipping point is coming.
Why would anybody get violent if the impeachment is legitimate?
I’d like to see Bikers for Trump surround WaPo headquarters and show those turds what real Americans think of their opinions.
I’d also like to see the Bikers pay a visit to Andrew Weissman’s home at 5:00 am and give him and his family a taste of their own medicine.
“...a saner, simpler time...”
Communism, fascism, nazism, Marxism, anarchism are NOT saner, simpler times, no matter how anyone slices & dices it.
Violent? If they were to even get a permit for a planned and legal protest march, Antifa and BLM would just show up and attack them. The police would be ordered to stand down, and anyone defending himself would be arrested.
Yet they don’t have the wherewithall to ask themselves why they think people might get violent.
First of all, I actually wouldn’t expect a lot of violence... unless the left’s goon & troll squads are unleashed into the inevitable demonstrations and marches that would occur. Yes, we probably have some crazies on our side too, but for the most part, the mentally ill, unhinged mass shooter types are usually left-wing loons.
People don’t rise up in protest and unrest over some doofus chump. They do it for a reason.
They really need more time really looking at what’s going on instead of dismissing half the country.
Might?
