It is far more than political suicide as it can be literal.
I did. One assumption the author points out as no longer still true is that conservatives want to conserve this government. IMHO many of us are beginning to realize that is a “shot in the back dry gulch” option. Why are we working to preserve a system that is rigged against us?
Damn’ good post.

The Democrats are trying to impeach President
@realDonaldTrump
for trying to expose a crime, and then elect the person who committed the crime.
Great read!
" if 40 percent of the country remains with Trump through the ordeal of impeachment, that will show that 40 percent is anti-regime — revolutions are made with less."
Impeachment will be the catalyst for term limits.
The ‘Rats are not impeaching the President
Listen to Nancy, Impeachment Inquiry, it has nothing to do with Impeachment, just more dog and pony show investigations, no votes, no articles of impeachment.
It is so they can fund raise, they are broke and need money and are pissed that President Trump raised over 125 million last quarter.
Listen to Mitch as well, he said the senate will hold a trial and vote for the articles of impeachment, he did not say “impeachment inquiry” or non binding “impeachment inquiry”. Words mean things here, and notice the language, basically cocaine mitch just called Nancy’s bluff. She isn’t going to actually do anything, sure they will talk about impeachment, do fake dog and pony show investigation, whine, complain, etc, basically the same crap they have been doing for the past 3 years. But this time they really really mean it.
This is just fund raising because the orange man is kicking their behinds on it. Will it work? Who knows
The Democrats...all of them, are doing the Trump impeachment investigation and inquiry behind closed doors...bad move!!! The Democrat Party led by leader Pelosi is committing political suicide.
The mere fact and reality of the massively attended POTUS Trump Political Campaign Rallies (Coming up, Minneapolis & Dallas in October, 2019) & the massive $125,000,000 dollars raised in the three months....with millions of bucks more pouring in every day from hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Trump small donors and avid supporters, should send a clear signal that this Democrat Party Impeachment farce is doomed to failure. Conducting it behind closed doors with little public viewing access will condemn this gig to total failure and the political destruction of the entire Democrat Party!!!
In bold is they key sentence, IMHO. The author touches on it-the ancien regime as he puts it is actually striking at the people, including those who, for whatever reason, don't recognize it.
What the author also misses, which I think has roots going back to GHW Bush, is a growing realization that those institutions that were intended to/claimed to serve the people of the United States are there to protect the institutions (and those connected to those institutions if not actually part of them) themselves at the expense of the people of the United States.
That's how revolutions get started, for I'll or for better.
in all this, we find the dems and media are the worst .i did not know such privileged persons harbored such hate for anything but their own greed
impeach a man over personality...how could that ever happen.. and by those who are guilty of crimes lying and treason
we have sunk that low
i could not stand obama we didnt lose our minds..the damage being caused by the haters, ...and they dont care who or what or how

I did a paper in my poli sci elective class in ‘70 or ‘71 on the forgotten middle class. Most of my source material came from news magazines such as Time and Newsweek which were thriving at the time. As I recall, Nixon relied heavily on this demographic and even promoted himself to them (us) in the ‘72 election, and he won re-election by a landslide.
In the coming election, think a large demographic of voters are being mobilized, who would not otherwise have voted, and will be going to the polls next year. Not just because of the impeachment movement, but because of all the other warrantless attacks on Trump and conservatives. The impeachment movement is merely the trigger. It wouldn’t surprise me to see once safe Democrat House seats go to conservatives. The voters realize that the accusations of Trump being a liar, a racist, and other negative, horrendous, monstrous things, are unsubstantiated, because these accusations are never supported by any examples.
Oh, my extremely liberal poli sci prof gave me a B on my term paper and a B for the course, with no comments on my paper. He was a strong supporter of the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), an extremist radical group at the University of Kentucky at the time, and credited with burning down the administration building in May, ‘70. My prof? The year after I graduated, I read that he had been arrested for receiving stolen property - to wit, an IBM Selectric Typewriter valued at $2,500, that he purchased from someone at a downtown bar in Lexington, (for $100 or $200 I recall). Based on today’s standards, he would not be allowed to teach due to the personal sexually suggestive comments and questions he asked aloud to students in his class. His name was Dr. Gene Mason.
If a poll was ever conducted with the question “Is our two party system working” ? The response would be 90% negative. What is being employed by This so called coup d’ etat against Trump should not be viewed as against Trump but an impeachment of our constitution. .
Everything the man has attempted to get done has been blocked by a radical group composed mainly of members of the democrat party in top leadership legislative and judicial branches of government who view the constitution as an obstacle to their concepts of government intrusion on individual liberty guaranteed by it as they advance their policies.
I don’t know about you folks, but I’m not going to let the Left steal my vote that so many men fought and died to protect. I also aim to raise $1,000,000 for Trump.
“it has no chance of acquitting him in a way that will strengthen faith in the country’s institutions.”
I disagree with that and also think that the analysis is shallow because it doesn’t recognize the influence of proven facts.
If voters perceive, based on evidence they see, that Trump got a bad rap then they will support Trump’s reelection by a wide margin, and that will weaken the proposition that we are a divided nation and strengthen faith in the country’s institutions.
Is that allowed here? :)
The article has some sense, in that it identifies the action as challenging the existing order.
It completely mischaracterizes Watergate. Watergate was where the current establishment flexed its muscles and established its authority. 65-75 was where the Mediacracy took control.
The US population is now working hard to throw off the yoke of the Mediacracy, which has ruled for 50 years.
I stopped reeding when you missuesd Their (there) in the early part of the article.
Very good article.
