I complain a lot about what we call "concern trolling", when Republicans troll Democrats with ostensibly generous advice on what we should do to win more elections, as if that's what they wanted, leaving you wondering what exactly their motivation is, and tempted to do the opposite of whatever they suggest. In what follows, I have something similar to say to Republicans, but I try to make the motivation clear:
Thing is, the country is already torn apart this time, and it seems to be torn apart by Trumpism, which is coming down to the view that "coastal" America or urban America aren't really America (because they have too many people of immigrant backgrounds? too many blacks?).— Per Aspera ad Yastra (@Yastreblyansky) December 15, 2019
Your own legal witness Jonathan Turley acknowledged (on NPR https://t.co/unUzqyEA8G) that the conclusions of the Mueller report are probably true, and complained only that the case was "rushed"; he said if Democrats took more time it would make their case stronger (I agree). pic.twitter.com/c5H4qZwcCF— Per Aspera ad Yastra (@Yastreblyansky) December 15, 2019
If Republicans would take the offer and agree to impeach and remove, they'd come out relatively unscathed as a party with a chance to find a better candidate in 2020. Instead you've chosen to double down on commitment to this bad and lawless president. I think you'll be sorry.— Per Aspera ad Yastra (@Yastreblyansky) December 15, 2019
You could have taken the chance @speakerPelosi and @RepAdamSchiff held out and worked to reunite this torn nation. You've chosen to divide it further in association with a crooked tool of Russian intelligence. It's not going to be a happy ending.— Per Aspera ad Yastra (@Yastreblyansky) December 15, 2019
