It's not just the left on this one... let alone just the "lunatic left". It's spreading. But that will happen when impeachment is actually, you know, warranted.
If it's warranted, I'll support it. Trouble is that impeachment is a political action and can't be seen as anything other than a political action. Calls for impeachment are always appropriate because it is always purely political. If a political ploy works and breaks no laws, it is appropriate.
The flip side is that too many people are yelling from inside an echo chamber. These folks hear each other getting louder and believe the increased decibels are more people joining them. That's not happening. All that increased volume comes from reverb. Those outside the echo chamber aren't persuaded to enter. No, they are persuaded to stay outside and move away from the door.
That's what happened during the election. No one paid attention to those outside that liberal echo chamber. Not the media or the pollsters or the pundits or anyone who wasn't already part of the liberal in crowd. The liberals lost and are still shocked. Does the loss alter how they view things? Not in the least.
So, carry on. Chase your appropriate political stratagem and chase it loudly. Make sure everyone hears and sees all that congratulatory virtue signaling. I just don't think the message being sent impacts people the way they think it does, Inigo.
