(752 posts)It really doesn't matter whether Dump was convicted in the Senate. The point is that he was impeached twice. The GQP OWNS all of it. The graft, the corruption, the lies, the bigotry ... everything.
So in the coming years I believe the majority of the citizens of the United States are going to have to make a choice. How badly do you(we) want to live in a constitutional republic? The consequences of that decision are heavy regardless of the side one chooses.
Rome fell. The British empire fell. The Egyptians fell. All of which were historically majestic and global powerhouses.
These are the facts as I see them. 75 million US citizens voted for a seditious traitor. An unknown percentage of the military has become radicalized. You cannot fix stupid.
Dump is just a symptom. He'll likely spend the rest of his days in court so who cares.
I don't think the resolution to the the problem of a seditious, treasonous minority population is a peaceful one. During my lifetime United States has always, at least attempted to appear to be above petty, divisive hatred. That is no longer the case.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
