The Democrats' Impeachment Fantasy

Really, this is 1972 all over again.

In 1964 the Democrats rolled over Republicans in a 60-40 election and then legislated Medicare/Medicaid and a host of welfare programs. They were shocked when Republican gained a bunch of seats in 1966, and poleaxed when Richard Nixon -- Richard Nixon! -- beat dear old Hubert Humphrey who had beaten the left's great white hope Gene McCarthy for the Democrat nomination.

Then Richard Nixon won a 60-40 election after four years of lefty demonstrations and anti-war politics. So Nixon had to be impeached.

In those days Republicans in Washington were good scouts and so when the Dems (using a disgruntled FBI official) dug up dirt on Nixon, the GOP warhorses in the Senate, including Barry Goldwater, drove down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House and told Nixon he had to go. So he did, without being impeached by the House and without being tried in the Senate. Because he was a good scout too.

Then, 24 years later, Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for lying and the Democrats drove down Pennsylvania Avenue and held a pro-Clinton rally at the White House. Clinton was tried in the Senate and acquitted, because no Democrats were going to vote for conviction.

Oh yeah. We deplorables remember that like it was yesterday. If GOP Senators ever vote for removal of a Republican president ever again on trumped up charges -- or semi trumped up charges, or demi-semi trumped up charges -- we will have their political hides.

Just to remind us about this every day, we deplorables elected a man called "Trump" to be president of the United States.

So. In 2016 Democrats nominated an old political warhorse after President Obama had encouraged the party leftward for eight years. Educated class Democrats were poleaxed, devastated that their unlikeable candidate lost in a normal change election. For it is really unusual for one party to win three presidential elections in a row. The last time was Bush One in 1988, and before that FDR in 1940 with World War II in the offin

When the Democrats lost their candidate Hillary Clinton did not concede and tell her supporters that we are all Americans and wait until next time. No, she was drunk on election night and encouraged her supporters to oppose Trump's win. Which partisan supporters are usually only too ready to do.

So now we are three years into a campaign to keep Democrat partisans bettle-ready at fever pitch with various fake issues, the latest one being from a disgruntled CIA mole -- sorry, "whistleblower" -- leaking a classified presidential conversation with a foreign leader to congressional Democrats.

I don't know about you, but I am fed up with this. I will crawl over broken glass to reelect President Trump and teach the lefty educated class -- that "literally knows nothing" about religion, philosophy, politics, economics, science, climate, you name it -- a well-earned lesson.

And I will keep doing it until the educated class learns the following Lessons.

1. The USA is the best country in the world.
2. The American People are the best people in the world.
3. When you lose an election you concede with a good grace.
4. Anyone that accuses someone of being a racist is a monster.

This is not that hard.

Lessons 1 and 2 are all about the simple fact that the most successful way of organizing people politically these days is the nation state. The fact is that politicians and intellectuals have done a good job of getting ordinary people to believe that they are part of a nation state. Let's not undo their achievement. The fact is that organizing people globally as "the human race΅ is not going to work until the Earth is under threat of invasion from aliens. That is how most of the nation states got started, by political leaders uniting a divided people to fight a foreign threat, and if you don't know that then you know literally nothing.

Back in the day H.L. Mencken wrote that "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

Today we should rather say that "Wokism is the theory that the educated people know literally nothing, and deserve to get it good and hard."

It must be that the educated class knows literally nothing. Otherwise they would understand the importance of Lesson 3, alternation in office, so that each party can get its turn in pulling the levers of political power. After a party has had two terms in office it doesn't matter if the out party steals the election, as the Democrats did in Texas and Illinois in 1960, you still concede the election as Richard Nixon did. Why? Because the important thing is not the clean election but the alternation in office.

Alternation in office keeps the crazies in each party on the sane side of craziness. If you don't know that then you know literally nothing. And if you start digging for conspiracy theories when the out party has won a normal change election after your guys have been in office for two terms then you know literally less than nothing. You really are a danger to shipping.

Then we come to Lesson 4, the racism question. The problem of racism used to be that people of certain races lived under legal discrimination; they were treated, under the law, as second-class citizens. In the United States that question was decided, finally, in the 1960s. Everything since then has been mere bagatelle.

It would be nice if more minorities were in powerful positions, but it is not a question of their legal civil rights. It is a nice-to-have. Just as it would be nice to have more conservative professors in the nation's universities, liberals.

But for liberals and lefties and Wokies to be acting as if racism, sexism, and homophobia were an existential peril in the US and A in 2019 is worse than literally knowing nothing. It is evil.

And if you don't understand that, that you literally know less than nothing.
