Trump Doing Damage To The Right

NOT LONG AGO I received in the snail mail a bumper sticker reading: Unfit To Serve: Impeach Trump. It was sent free of charge by any one of the numerous left wing organizations which send me email daily, and solicit donations from me. I thought about it, then put it on my bumper. Now, in my small southern conservative town I really, really stand out, even more than before, which was considerable. The bumper sticker expresses my general sentiments, but not really. Much as I detest Trump, I really don't care if he gets impeached, or when, or how, or for what of his innumerable impeachable offenses. The progressive movement can only benefit the longer Trump is in office, just watching him make one disaster after another. Rather like the way in which Trump pledged to do away with Obamacare after the failure of repeal and replace: just watch it die naturally, of its own deficiencies. For the moment, Obamacare looks to long outlast President Trump. In walks my seventy year old right wing black clad ponytailed friend, and he says to me: "even though I hated Obama for eight years, at least I never advocated for his impeachment." As if he, with his right wing values, is somehow magnanimous because he refrained from demanding that Obama be impeached. Wow. what a guy. What he didn't mention was that, in eight years, Obama did many things that angered conservatives, but never did or said anything even close to an impeachable offense. Obama is clean, and they know it. But, now, look at Trump. Conflicts of interest, lies, Russian spies, an unconstitutional pardon of a convicted criminal, and the list gets even longer. Its not just liberal hate filled fanatics who are beginning to suggest the possibility of impeachment proceedings against Trump. The legal scholars, independent voters, and ethics experts are now being heard mentioning the possibility. Either way, progressives, who used to be called "liberals", should be happy: one way or another, Donald J.Trump is going to do, already has done, great damage to the credibility of America's conservative demographic. Our right wants to pass bathroom laws, lower taxes for the wealthy, build a wall, kick out undocumented immigrants, and ignore climate change. In all that, there is no future, especially with a reprobate like Trump at the front of the movement.
