lol

He is not impeached until it goes up to the senate

how?

thats not how it works bud

The house will wait until the election and try to gain the senate

And if trump wins the election but loses the senate they will impeach him

The official impeachment isn’t until the Articles are sent for Adjudication to the Senate

Its all long term politics now <:shrug:349342983763656705>

They have a Fat Chance if winning the Senate, in order to remove him they’ll need 67 votes

I don’t think enough seats are up this time

Think of it like when we had the BRexit vote in 2016, then nothing happened, that is where the impeachment is at

They voted for it but nothing has happened

i see, so were just waiting for the fair and just trial

that mconnel wants no part in

it would be impossible to flip the senate, espcially with who is currently up

yup

itll be hard to go against trump's base during the election too, he loves the poorly educated, and its tough to change their minds.

nationalism rises

"blood and soil"

-Trump supporters

is virginia going to start the boogaloo yet or what

Also, the house looks like it will flip back to RED in the next election, lots of the purple districts that voted this last one for dem will flip back

the potential for trump to win reelection with a red house and senate is high

the crazy gender confused voted to impeach

american politics is an alternate reality game

Tump as Most hated? That's pretty laughable. Lincoln's election sparked a freakin' civil war, and most people don't even bother to mention that

might take another one to fuck up the racist southern fuckers

2nd civil war will end just like the first... Democrats lose.

Republican President drove them over the edge~ History does love to repeat itself.

;/

the parties have drastically changes, i think its misleading to say that democrats lost then

Correct me if I am wrong... The Southern Democrats lost the Civil War.

lincoln would deffinitely not be a republican today

the republican party was created to go against slavery, but republicans now are infamous for inciting racial tensions, and I seriously doubt the party names represent the same values

Don't worry~ Virtue warriors constantly bring up Trump being a draft dodger! Surely they are brave enough to answer the call... Right? 🤣

While I can understand some jumping to conclusions with WW3 memes, the draft paranoia came out of nowhere.

The parties did switch their geographic bases. That part is true. The part of the “party switch” where the two switched platforms and the Republicans became racists is false.

The South was solidly Democrat for decades, mainly because of resentment over the Republicans stemming from the Civil War and reconstruction. But the South was also fairly conservative. Both parties had liberal and conservative wings into the 1970s.

The parties became aligned as conservative/liberal after Goldwater’s defeat in 1964 and McGovern’s in 1972. The alignment didn’t really complete until well into the 80s. Reagan spent a good part of his presidency convincing members of the House to change from Democrat to Republican.

At the same time, the Republicans internalized the teaching of Martin Luther King to judge people as individuals while the Democrats insisted on racial preferences and insisted that the only reason for not judging people by race is racism.

Some other factors figure into this. We are not talking about the same people. Northern states have been losing population and Southern states have been gaining for decades. Conservatives have left the “rust belt” states for places like Texas. Air conditioning was a factor in this.

Similarly, blacks are no longer concentrated in the South. They have voted Democrat since the days of FDR and are a large voting block in every major city. That has also contributed to the geographic switch.

The idea of the switch comes from Democrats who are trying to disown their history. They were the party of the KKK and Jim Crow. They want to escape that by claiming that those Democrats are now Republicans.

Holy fucking text wall

holy shit the copypasta

Fucking pussys worried about a draft.
