A crisis of Leftism in the post-impeachment world
American Thinker ^ | December 27, 2019 | Gary Gindler

What is the level of happiness among modern American leftists about the impeachment of President Trump? Do they celebrate this Christmas gift on the streets? (Sorry, my fellow collectivists, there is no attempt here to offend you with the word “Christmas”). One would assume that leftists do celebrate the event, but the reality is quite different and more complex.

...

What is going on? One could understand that intraspecific competition among leftists is fierce, but who would predict most of American leftists unite against not only Trump, but their fellow comrades-in-ideological-arms – Democrats? Leftists still are not able to decide if they have impeached Trump or not and appear confused about what the next steps should be. Across the full spectrum of Leftism – from Marxism, Stalinism, and Trotskyism to Democratic Socialism – many are calling Pelosi's impeachment a “fiasco” and a “road to nowhere.”

It would be improper to attribute the brutal post-impeachment infighting among the leftists solely to some concrete actions of Trump. To be precise, the post-impeachment ripping at each other's throats and the overall crisis among leftists is one of these pleasant but unpredictable side-effects of Trump's remedy for America.

Bill Clinton's infamous answer to the question about cheating with Monica Lewinsky was, “I think I did something for the worst possible reason: just because I could.” Demsheviks impeached President Trump for exactly the same worst possible reason: just because they could.

In addition, Demsheviks came up with a new, previously unheard of method of political blackmail – permanent impeachment.

They threw the CEO and Founder of Mozilla out of office because he privately donated to the popularly approved Prop 8 in California. ANYONE who voted for it could likewise be terminated from private employment.

There is a purge afoot and they aren’t just after Donald Trump. They would be after Pence if they remove Donald. And they would be after Trump’s voters too. Beat downs in the street are not isolated events.

Nan forced her so-called “moderates” facing tough elections in 2020 to vote for impeachment and then did nothing with it. Makes you wonder if their on the same side.

Been saying this already. If they kick out the Donald they will go after Pence next.

I wouldn’t call “permanent impeachment” blackmail. To me it just means we have to make sure the “Demsheviks” are not elected again.

LGBTQ2S+

Buried deep in one of the leftist quotes.

I don’t want to know what this means. I’m just curious.

If I don’t know what it means and don’t want to know what it means... does that make me a fascist?

“Beat downs in the street are not isolated events.”

Nor are they answered.

The Democratic Party has already adopted “Democratic Socialism” as its ideology but will it now also embrace, Marxism, Trotskyism, Maoism or Castroism?

Many of us don’t lose any sleep over the prospect of battling leftists in the streets.

I think her liberal moneybags threatened her by implying that AOC et ilk would be the future recipients of their “donations”.

After Trump is re-elected will they have to impeach him again?

Just wait till we re-elect him in 2024. Hey, they break the laws so we can too.
