Rabid liberals are still hoping to impeach President Trump.
And for all I know he may actually be guilty of something impeachable. Most recent
presidents, it turns out, were.
But I wonder if these people have really thought through the
long term consequences of using impeachment as a political weapon? We already have
a political system that barely functions. Almost half the voting public voted
for Trump (about 30% voted for Trump, about 30% voted for Clinton, and 40% didn’t
bother to vote at all.). Are liberals
actually so naïve as to think that the 30% who voted for Trump are going to
meekly stand by while their vote is cancelled? I think it far more likely that
a Trump impeachment, so clearly motivated simply by partisan politics, would so
poison the political system in the future that any president the liberals manage
to get elected would face the same sort of disabling political attacks and endless
investigations that Trump is facing. Do we really want impeachment to become a political
weapon, used any time the opposition wins the presidency? Do we really want to
become a banana republic?
Do liberals really want that?
