Whatever you do, don’t give the voters a choice
It seems a major reason for impeaching Donald Trump “no matter what” is to make sure that even if the majority of American voters wanted to get him back in office, they will not get that choice. After all, if Trump incited a violent coup against a legitimately elected government, and it was broadcast every night on prime time sympathetic news for the next four years, how could he ever win again? What population would be insane enough to vote for that?
Hypothetically, though, imagine a government was elected through late night vote dumps, fake ballots, dead votes and electronic flipping? That same government would surely be vulnerable and possibly afraid that if word were to spread, protests would mount and State legislatures might be forced to fix the gaping holes in the system – at least in some states. All of which might give the cheated leader a chance to be re-elected.
David Catron had the same thought, and notes Rep. Al Green (A democrat from Texas) explained why they tried the first impeachment:
I’m concerned if we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected. If we don’t impeach him, he will say he’s been vindicated. He will say the Democrats had an overwhelming majority in the House and they didn’t take up impeachment. He will say that we had a constitutional duty to do it if it was there, and we didn’t. He will say he’s been vindicated … Here’s what I say, we’re confronting a constitutional crisis as I speak to you…. We must impeach him.
No hiding that there then.
Though there are other advantages. The Democrats can pretend there is a reason, sort of, for keeping tens of thousands of the National Guard on site in Washington long after the inauguration riots that never happened. A deployment that has cost more than $500 million. Was the real reason the National Guard was there to deter any protests at the 40 Executive Orders signed in sweeping reforms, or the purge of the military to remove wrongthink?
Don’t let the stupid voters hear dangerous points of view either
Ouch: Tucker Carlson on the personality type that wins power and gets more violent.
But it’s not censorship, “it’s harm reduction”.
“When they come for you they will talk like social workers”
Apparently the last thing Democrats want is to give the voters democracy.
