While I love the Billboards; It’s Great for the Majority to feel united; to have Billboards to make us smile. And I guess we enjoy trolling the Base.
However; Impeaching Trump is:
A) Never Going to Happen; as it would need a LOT of Republican Senators to Betray their own base and commit suicide. If Fox and all hadn’t been discrediting EVEN THE FBI; Justice Dept, it would have been possible for “Republican Loyalty to Patriotic Ideals like Rejecting Russian Control” reboot.
B) Will lead to President Pence; and no change whatsoever in Policies; just toned down Rhetoric.
Trump and the Republican leadership AND Base Total Complete Subservience is creating a REAL movement way more powerful then Democrats were before. We own the Majority; yet Apathy makes a minority party that can’t appeal to anybody who isn’t white, old, bigoted or rural just as powerful; they turn out every year and we turn out in force for Presidential elections; and 2006. They won everywhere in 2010; in most statehouses and Gerrymandered the nation.
With Trump there; every Purplish State will be losing in 2018, 2019, 2020.
2020 is going to be our biggest Triumph; Since LBJ in 1964 Landslide created a Progressive War on Poverty Republicans STILL Haven’t Dismantled although they scream about it when out of power.
The Fact is: Something like Trump HAD TO HAPPEN; We the Educated Voters who vote every year COULD NOT defend the Young Nonconservative net nonvoting Majority. Minorities don’t vote at the level of Old White People who hate and fear them. THIS HAD TO HAPPEN: For years it’s been cool to say wherever young people hang out, and on College Campuses “They’re all the same, who cares” about Elections. People made fun of those who ‘care too much’. The Zeitgeist has been Apathy; Apathy is cool. I worked inner city and all the non college degree holding folks there said “Why the hell should I vote” and this was 2003-2004; the height of our outrage. Majority of Minorities could care less. And why should they? They had us to vote for Democrats that protected them from the demands of the foaming bigots loyally voting. The Base Dreamed of Deporting everybody; or of locking up every single Black Male who wasn’t on their favorite Southern State college football team because they frightened them.
If the Right were to do the Smart thing; and Reject Trump; Impeach him, Wash their hands of Overt Bigotry and start nominating the Bush types; then much worse is headed for America. They keep winning national elections on the strength of Majority Apathy; and flaming bigoted loyal voters. But they can’t right now. Fox and their Right Wing Shit machine has been Telling the Base that the FBI is an Evil Lying Organization witchhunting their hero. Think About that. Law Enforcement is a Bastion of Conservatives; Cops are the most Right Wing people in America under 60. And they have to Create A False Image that Feds are Liberal Hillary Worshippers Breaking the Law in order to Implicate The most Corrupt Politician the country has seen since 1800’s Robber Baron days. Nixon? Nixon Didn’t Conspire with American Enemies to hurt the Democrats. Nixon, as evil as he was; had Actual, Patriotic Principles.
Elected Republicans and Fox Noise; can’t even take a stand to Oppose Trump on Tarrifs that are HURTING Their own States and Constituents. A brainless policy decision made without even thinking. Trump SAID in meetings trying to stop him I DONT BELIEVE ECONOMISTS. So they can’t use facts to talk to this asshole; they’re stuck now defending indefensible policy.
They’ve made a Blood Pact with Open Bigotry and Trump. All over America even on College Campuses; Loathsome human Beings are saying “Trump Gave us the COURAGE to Speak Our Minds” — Meaning; be flagrantly Bigoted about Spicks, N__s; Muslims and Fags. You think Republicans can win back their party; control their base to fall in behind Pence and the Rest of Establishment for the sake of Electability? Not going to happen.
Trump staying in the Whitehouse until 2020 will benefit the Left; we can win all branches in 2020, we can enact real change. 4 years is a blip in time. ALSO:
A Big Recession is coming; by 2019. The Economic Cycle always turns; Right now Unemployment at 4%; historic lows, the lower it gets the more inflation. High Inflation Leads to Fed Reserve Raising Interest Rates; which causes Recessions. It’s Eco 101. There was no way the current cycle could last until Nov 2020; so Hillary winning in 2016; would lead to Big Republican sweep in 2020; after 4 years of Lock Her up and a million investigations. Then THEY GET TO REDISTRICT AGAIN. Then we STAY powerless as THEY control National Policy throughout the 2020’s.
WE GET TO control National Policy once we survive to 2020. AND: All purple states Statehouse Elections will continue to go OUR way. We get to change the country; and its all because of Trump. Trump is teaching the other 60% of America; that VOTING F&*&*ING MATTERS. That you HAVE to Vote or Else the White Bigots choose your Leaders, your state laws, your national laws, AND Your Foreign Policy. The Poorer Minorities USED to look at Democrats as just another group of White People who don’t give a shit. That’s History now.
Trump isn’t going away. Resist for 3 more Years; Donate, Organize; to Win the Nation for Good.
By 2028; Demographics really start to matter…..So much of Trump’s Base and Probably Trump himself will be Dead And Buried. 10 more years of Young People reaching 18; and current 18 year olds reaching 28 with more concern about elections.
This is a Dark Time. Im not going to lie its a terrible period for all thinking Americans. But the Darkness is Uniting a New America; remembering what USA is REALLY All About. Its NOT ABOUT ELDERLY IGNORANT BIGOTS. The ONLY REASON USA IS A WORLD POWER IS US: The BLUE STATES; and ALL Cities; Blue islands in Red States; The IMMIGRANTS Especially; and the Educated; the Scientists and Engineers; the Technologists, the Artists; Soft Cultural Power. It’s NOT RED STATES AND F***ING CORN AND COTTON .
The People who Hate and Fear The Present and Long for a NONEXISTENT PAST; are finished because the country is NOT THEM. The Majority just LET them think so. We’re going to teach them a lesson until they start talking Secession again. They DONT BELIEVE In America and American Ideals. They have NOTHING in common with the Founders way of thinking; Atheist and Deist Enlightenment thinkers. Their thinking is Medieval; Theocratic, Racist, Militarist Authoritarian forms of Nationalism about Blood and Race and has more in common with Goebbels political reasoning.
