Wow: @justinamash is NOT backing down. He is now talking to a school group on steps of the Capitol about why Trump impeachment proceedings should begin. “Really dangerous for our country” when ppl don’t tell the truth

5. Just a thought

I just posted this on another Amash thread:


Here's a tinfoil hat thought.

Maybe the Amash pro-impeachment stance is deliberate, and directed - designed to open, slowly, the floodgate of eventual support of the idea of impeachment/conviction. As in so much of life, it's the first step that counts - journey of a 1000 miles, etc. And, to continue the use of lazy cliches, he's the sacrificial goat (or lamb, or cow). Everyone calls him a traitor - at first. Then slowly, another says, hold on a sec, maybe Amash has something there. Maybe the people signing on do not plan to run for reelection. Whatever. I mean, after all, you can't see 20 Republicans signing on en masse to a conviction, out of the blue. Now, it's no longer out of the blue. One Republican says, hey, why not? The guy's a crook. It's time to say yes to impeachment.

Tinfoil hat off. Back to the reality-based universe.
