A Post-Impeachment Survival Guide

A Post-Impeachment Survival Guide

Despite the fact that the Mueller Report and the Impeachment Report detail the misdeeds of the current administration, don’t expect anything to change. Senate Republicans are not simply hinting that they will refuse to hold the president accountable; they are actually bragging about it on television.

It’s almost certain that this president will not be removed from office by the Senate. He will still be in the White House in the spring, summer, and autumn of 2020. That’s going to be an unpleasant pill to swallow for anyone who still believes that no one is above the law, but acquittal is all but inevitable.

Here’s what you can do about it.

1. Verify your eligibility to vote. 

States that are controlled by Republicans (most of them) are doing everything in their power to prevent Democrats from voting in 2020. Wisconsin just removed 234,000 citizens from the voting roles. Unless those people reregister, it will be nearly impossible for a Democratic presidential candidate to win the state. Make sure that you are eligible to vote now, and check your eligibility again before the cutoff date in your start to register.

2. Encourage everyone you know to get out and vote.

Only massive voter turnout can flip the White House and the Senate. Only an enthusiastic blue wave will break the current choke hold that corrupt politicians have placed on the US Constitution.

3. Refuse to be divided.

I read this morning that there is a “Never Pete” movement developing in the liberal community. Recognize this for what it is. It’s a scam aimed at discouraging some Democrats from voting for Mayor Buttigieg, a scam that has been orchestrated and paid for by allies of the current administration.

I’m sure that as the electoral process moves forward, there will be a Never Joe movement, or Never Bernie or Never Elizabeth. Who benefits from this nonsense? The current resident of the White House and his staunch supporters, including the governments of Russia and Saudi Arabia.

DON’T FALL FOR THIS CRAP! REALIZE THAT YOU ARE BEING TARGETED!

Resolve now to vote for whomever gets the nomination, even if they are not your first or second or even your third choice. A change in the administration is critical, and it will come only if Democrats we stand united. Infighting among Democrats only helps the current administration. 

4. Be prepared for a rough ride

If the current regime gets away with its crimes, as they most likely will, they will be emboldened to commit more crimes and more serious crimes. Things are going to get ugly the next year. People’s careers, and in some cases, even their very lives could be in jeopardy.

Think of it this way. The cops picked up your abusive stepdad, but the judge likes him, so he let him go. Now, he’s coming back home, and he’s really pissed off. Are you ready to deal with that?
