All the liberal pundits make all sorts of comments about Trump "high crimes and misdemeanors."
They talk about impeachment. They talk about his indictment(s). They talk about voting him out of office. They talk about what the next president can do to undo the damage Trump has done. They talk about how everyone around him is inept, corrupt, or both.
What they do NOT talk about is that his regime isn't going anywhere.
He is already inuring his base to the idea that any election in the future will be rigged if he and the Republicans don't win. The only reason to do this is to get his base so stirred up that if he does not win, they will not accept the results, and will keep him in power, violently if necessary.
Congress can't impeach as long as the Senate is Republican. If the Senate were to flip, Republicans will stage a coup, and send Congress home.
And Democrats will still be arguing "Hillary vs. Bernie" and thus will be impotent to do anything.
I wonder often, is this what the last days of the Roman Republic looked like?
