We are at the precipice, the us versus him moment. The people, protected by a military that is more faithful to the Constitution they have sworn to uphold than is their commander in chief. And him, the president, threatening to use that military against his own people.
We already know who will go over the edge. President Trump has no more understanding of the document that enshrines the right to peaceably assemble in protest than he does of that Bible he held upside down on one of the darkest days in American history.
If the election were next Tuesday, we’d throw him out. But this moment will pass, and too many will forget, or get distracted.
You would think an impeached and terrified president who bungled his way through a pandemic that has killed more than 107,000 people in America and left 40 million out of work would be a lock to lose in November.
But don’t fool yourself: It will not be easy to remove this awful man. As nice as it was to hear Joe Biden sound like a president this week, it is going to take a heavy, hard and persistent pounding of Trump to oust him. For that, Democrats can learn from the people who know his people best — the Never-Trump Republicans.
