Re:impeachment>At issue is Trump's ability to enter an electoral race in the future. His hold on the Republican party must be terminated as it appears his interests have never been in the interests of our country.
Three quarters of Americans know that what the wackadoodles did at the Capitol was a dangerous assault on democracy. One also cannot argue that a country born and made financially solvent by enslaving people has a history to wrestle with in the current day.
Trump was gasoline for hatred in this country, and, whether we are Democrats or Republicans. The Lincoln Project (conservative Republicans) as well as a few other Republican groups have made strong cases for distancing and rejecting the authoritarian personality.
I studied in Spain during Franco's last days. Walking around troops with machine guns blazing is a sobering experience. I have taught in other countries where people collected tolls on roadways by virtue of the permission of their machines guns. No matter where I have been in the past 50 years, looking into the barrel of a machine gun still exerts the same feeling of panic and awe.
So yes, racism still exists in America. Not all whites are racist. Americans have the right to bear arms and protect their property and families. Vigilantisim, however, can never be condoned. Vigilantism is what I witnessed on television on January 6th.
Thanks Vanessa! A couple points. First of all, preventing someone from running in the future is not what impeachment is for. The impeachment process is not intended to be a political weapon. It's a perversion of the intent of the Constitution, and is a reflection of how nasty politics has become. As far as your point about Trump, as I see it, Trump was a crude and rude man, but the real hate came from the Left-leaning media. As I explained in episode 11 of my podcast, I believe that Conservatives loved Trump (even though Trump wasn't conservative) so much because he was the first person they've seen who could stand up to the relentless bullying from the Left, which is something that Conservatives have to deal with every day from every angle. As far as the groups of conservative republicans who have distanced themselves from Trump, such as Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse, they can distance themselves all they want but as soon as they start perverting the Constitution they are wrong.
Anyway, thanks for your comment. I hope all the comments aren't just on this impeachment issue. That was the least important thing in my newsletter.
