“#Impeachment is the right answer to Trump’s wrongs<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

President Trump likes to talk about things \u201cnobody\u2019s ever seen before\u201d in relation to his own supposed achievements. This is a phrase he uses constantly. He spoke often of an economy the likes of which nobody had ever seen before and employment numbers like nobody had ever seen before.<\/p>\n

Hey, you know what else we\u2019ve never seen before?<\/p>\n

A riot encouraged by a president \u2014 certainly, something nobody has ever seen before. Also, an attempt to overturn the free and fair results of an election as it was \u00adbeing certified \u2014 nope, haven\u2019t seen that before.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How about a president threatening his vice president both privately and publicly? Seen it before? Oh, no.<\/p>\n

Finally, two impeachments in fewer than four years?<\/p>\n

That, sure as hell, sure as among the most hellish hell we have ever experienced in more than two centuries of\u00a0American politics, with all their wars and turmoil, is something \u00adnobody has ever seen before.<\/p>\n

And maybe, just maybe, other politicians will view it as something so horrible, something so resolutely to be avoided, that we will never see its like again.<\/p>\n

I say \u201cother politicians\u201d because Trump will surely not see it that way. While history will likely record Trump\u2019s two impeachments as a towering landmark in the history of political shame, we know that shame is an emotion foreign to Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Most of us couldn\u2019t survive the disgrace of this second impeachment \u2014 the result of a failed populist putsch that saw a policeman murdered with a fire extinguisher and men looking through the Capitol building intent on confronting and maybe murdering the vice president.<\/p>\n

Trump will survive it, though, and he will do what he can to twist this disaster to his advantage with his unique ability to convince tens of millions of people that his grievances are their grievances and that they should pledge their troth to him.<\/p>\n

They admire the perpetual sense of being wronged. They dig it, because they have bought into Trump\u2019s essential argument that this is the way the world actually works \u2014 and that since they think he is \u00addeploying his arcane knowledge of the workings of power in service to their wants and needs, he has earned their fealty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s reality is a perpetual melodrama come to life, and it\u2019s far more enjoyable to live in that melodrama. It\u2019s a depressing and sobering fact that much of the time, the things you want to have happ<\/a>en just don\u2019t happen. You don\u2019t get that job you applied for. You ask someone out for a date, and she says no. Such disappointments are the stuff of life, and life isn\u2019t fun much of the time \u2014 especially in COVID-weary America.<\/p>\n

For his most belligerent supporters, Trump is fun, and that\u2019s something special. He is what they would want to be if they could be anyone else. He is rich, but he has no airs. He eats cheeseburgers and likes wrestling. And so his defeat was their \u00addefeat.<\/p>\n

But what if it wasn\u2019t a defeat at all? What if he told them that he had actually won, and that, therefore, the battle to restore the White House Seal to its rightful owner was the quest of a lifetime \u2014 \u201cThe Lord of the Rings,\u201d with his supporters the \u201cmen of the West,\u201d up against the Sauron that is the liberal elite?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The logical end result of this real-life cosplay was the riot that got him impeached. Deservedly.<\/p>\n

And the pretending is far from over. Trump must now figure out his revenge against the Republicans who he believes double-crossed him and bedevil the man who defeated him and keep the revenue flowing. He will need his minions to succeed, and they will be there for him \u2014 the ones who don\u2019t end up in prison, of course.<\/p>\n

The second impeachment is not the end of the melodrama, alas. No, it\u2019s the \u00adbeginning of the second act of the longest-running political horror of our time \u2014 \u201cDonald Trump: A Demagogue Like Nobody\u2019s Ever Seen Before.\u201d<\/p>\n
