Why Trump Supporters are Not Protesting in the Streets Over Impeachment.......
.theepochtimes ^ | 12/22/2019 | Brian Cates

When the denizens of the left are upset about something, there are mass protests, often accompanied by rioting, vandalism, violence, and arrests...But the American right is not like the American left.

So although Trump supporters were certainly not happy at having to watch this impeachment theater, their frustrations did not boil over. That’s because everyone knew, with the possible exception of the more rabid corners of the left’s base, that none of this was real.

The Democrat strategy is to spend the next eleven months claiming to the American people that they should not even seriously consider reelecting an impeached President.

And should Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg be forced into retirement due to health reasons before this next election, it will also be claimed that the American people simply cannot allow an impeached President to nominate her successor.

This is the strategy of an increasingly desperate party that knows Trump and the GOP have a distinct and growing advantage over them right now as the country heads into the new year.

So as strange as this observation might seem to those who get their news from the DNC Media Complex, as Trump is impeached by rabid partisan Democrats frantic to reverse their political fortunes, he is actually growing stronger and is poised for a most unique reelection campaign, the likes of which this country has never before witnessed.

Whatever Democrats believed the results would be of this impeachment debacle, it’s clear at this point they made a massive miscalculation. Far from following the left’s path of civil unrest and protest, Trump supporters will be inspired to send their message to Washington on Nov. 3, 2020.

We don’t go out to mass protests because we have REAL jobs and cannot take time off, to gather in major cities, or DC, at a few hours given notice.

We also don't have a sugar daddy by the name of George Soros who'll pay us twenty bucks an hour to demonstrate and wreak havoc in the streets of America.

That's easy:

Trump supporters love the USA, Truth, and the rule of law (as opposed to the law of the jungle).

Democrats don't care if they destroy the USA; if fact, it's their objective. They HATE Truth (and everything else). And they prefer the law of the jungle; the Democrat Dream is a brutal oligarchy (composed of themselves, of course) ruling over the oppressed masses.

nw all have fulltime work and or studies or both. They don’t have time for such things though they are all aware of the political climate.

I remember there was a college where students wanted to be given less work because they didn’t have enough time for social activism. Your family members have their priorities right.

I won’t argue to that as it sure looks like the D-rats are on board to make this country socialist/communist.

Ginsberg will announce her retirement 30-90 days before the election to galvanize the Left into voting.

I sincerely doubt it. My impression is that her ego will not allow anyone to replace her on the Supreme Court as long as she is alive, as she thinks she is irreplaceable.

The campaign of President Donald Trump reported it had received $10 million in donations in the 48 hours after Wednesday’s impeachment vote.

A lot of people disliked Trump only to grudgingly come to his side and admit he was right all along.

Glen Beck, Mark Levin, possibly Lindsey Graham.

As another FReeper has eloquently stated, his columns and Twitter feed is read by thousands. While your post is about as significant as the period at the end of this sentence.

True and we have priorities.....when push really comes to shove the people will do what all people do when they’ve been pushed too far. We’re not there.

“I am not protesting in the streets because this impeachment was entirely constitutional”

how in gods great earth did you come to that conclusion?

That is a lot of slander thrown into one small paragraph. Whit that kind of bile, a little proof of your allegations would be called for.

What is the reason you are so anti Epoch Times which is a fine news source IMO?, Why are you anti-Q which is spot on with predictions and has very serious people following and analyzing it?

Take a look at the impeachment clause in the Constitution. The House is given absolute power in this regard. And the House gets to determine just what the “crime” is. One of the Founders, Benjamin Franklin, even once remarked that the House could impeach for the “crime” of being obnoxious.

And that’s because in the language of the day, a “high crime” was any misbehavior by a high official. It didn’t have to be murder or treason.

And since impeachment is a political process (no jail time is possible), standard rights given to a defendant do not apply.

Having said all that, if I were a House member I would have voted “hell no” on Trump’s impeachment. It truly is a witch hunt. But it is also constitutional.
