Didn’t the Clinton impeachment start with looking into a money-losing land deal, then end up with an extramarital blowjob? I’m just saying they can make whatever flimsy excuse they can, then run with it through the election. Idiot magats will whatabout it on the same level as all trumps current court cases.
But that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. It is every bit as empty as the Clinton impeachment. Just like then, the Republicans KNOW this is for show and an impeachment won’t get any approval in the Senate. So they can just do a performance for the base.
I think it’s worse than that. I think they want to destroy democracy by constantly praising nonsense and chaos. They keep practicing chaos techniques and they have cultivated an extremely loyal audience who will willingly die spreading diseases, cheering on climate change, etc.
“Chaos and disruption, I later learned, are central tenets of Bannon’s animating ideology. Before catalyzing America’s dharmic rebalancing, his movement would first need to instill chaos through society so that a new order could emerge. He was an avid reader of a computer scientist and armchair philosopher who goes by the name Mencius Moldbug, a hero of the alt-right who writes long-winded essays attacking democracy and virtually everything about how modern societies are ordered. Moldbug’s views on truth influenced Bannon, and what Cambridge Analytica would become. Moldbug has written that “nonsense is a more effective organizing tool than the truth,” and Bannon embraced this. “Anyone can believe in the truth,” Moldbug writes, “to believe in nonsense is an unforgettable demonstration of loyalty. It serves as a political uniform. And if you have a uniform, you have an army.”

Problem is, I don’t think they have the desperation needed to convert that energy into action. They lack the post-WWI economic devastation in Germany to convert. And their billionaire backers love the inaction on taxes and regulation, but aren’t quite ready to fully shred the economy for political gain.

Once people start falling in love with fiction media, you get what humans have demonstrated in the Middle East. Constant chaos and nonsense arguing over anti-science story books and any leader can wave around the established symbols people were raised on in their childhood and garner a following - no matter how terrible the ideas are. Media itself is the cult of their chaos and they are conditioned to obey and flock when certain tone and style of media is presented to them (Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh - no matter how many times they are proven wrong, the tone itself is the signal).
It could be another outside media signal from anywhere, China or Russia, they still flock when it’s in a nonsensical style with aggression overtones. It is incredibly dangerous that they have fallen into this thinking.
No wrongdoing? How about when he stole the election?!? He went and got more people to vote for him simply by not being an idiotic, self-absorbed, criminal. That’s a violation of the core ethos of the GOP. IMPEACH!
I don’t really like Joe Biden either, but these assholes don’t even have any evidence of wrongdoing…
Their fee-fees were hurt when Biden won the election. This is all about revenge for Trump.
I get that, but they can’t just impeach him for no reason and they have not as-of-yet proven that there was any crime or wrongdoing.

You had me in the first half, I’m not going to lie.
Bidens mostly a catastrophe but these guys don’t even have an accusation of wrongdoing
