It Happened Here — Because America Let It
Why Wasn’t Trump Impeached at Camps, Cages, Family Separations, Gestapos, Beatings, Disappearances, or Mass Death?
So it’s official. Donald Trump has been impeached for a second time. He’s now the most impeached President in American history.
Meanwhile, the nation’s Capitol looks like a war zone. Republicans seem to be calling for civil war. Trump’s army of fanatics has promised to continue the wave of terror that begun with the siege of Capitol Hill. And that, in turn, looks like a sophisticated attempt at a hard coup, which was planned, organized, funded. Whew.
White liberals tell me that I should celebrate. Justice has finally been done! I can’t help but disagree. They fly into a rage when I do. But let me tell you for a moment exactly what I think.
It’s a good thing that Trump has been impeached for a second time. But it’s not nearly enough.
How did things get this bad — to a hard coup that besieged Capitol Hill, in which it was a minor miracle that legislators weren’t massacred by violent Trumpists calling for their blood, erecting nooses, and beating guards to death? Things got this bad because they were allowed to get this bad.
