So hold on because I feel like this is illustrating the point I’m making to kB and which am_Unition seems to share. Sure, yeah more people support impeachment and the impeachment process starting. Looking at those polls 80 fuckin’ percent of the polled Republican-identifying poll participants do not support either!! The aggregate is because of overwhelming support by Democrats and strong enough support from Independents. My biggest fear is we’ve lost 40% of the country. That is significant.
I agree that it's significant, but to me the (arguably) more important question is whether it's new. I think we often have an idealized notion of what U.S. history has been like, even those of us who don't long for a return to some greatness that never actually was.
