Zeal without knowledge is a runaway horse
Trump may be evil, GOP are worse
December 12, 2018
Humanity is approaching an existential crisis. Our nation, the leading economy of the world, has a man in the presidency who is corrupt, narcissistic, and devoid of intellectual curiosity. And if evil is defined as being incapable of doing good, then he is also evil. Donald J. Trump’s despicableness makes a rather compelling motivation for pursuing his impeachment with all zeal. We must not pursue Trump alone. In spite of the fact he is a buffoon and deserving of all shade thrown at him. We need a strategy based on knowledge. If we let our zeal runaway with us, it will allow a future Republican Party to survive this looming disaster.

We need a strategy of never impeach — never demand resignation. A concerted effort to reveal truth should be our focus. We should not stop until the public hearings have thoroughly revealed authentic crimes to the nation. It will drive Trump numbers and GOP numbers to total wipeout levels. (#BlueTsunami2020) No need to gimmick it up, simply use the hearings to find the real corruption in the Trump administration, reveal the enabling corruption of Congress, and lay out the high crimes and misdemeanors of Trump. Build the undeniable case in public until the ardent Trump base hovers below 30% approval.  Impeachment is a political exercise; it requires political momentum. Pursuing truth without an impeachment or a resignation will end any chance for Republican power in 2020, no Pence as President, no Republican Senate in 2020.
Our zeal would focus our outrage on Trump. He makes himself such a tempting target. The real threat to America is the Republican Party itself. Nixon was an easy enemy for the resistance of the Vietnam era. Nixon and his cronies were a power-hungry bunch. Still within the Republican Party of the 1960’s and 1970’s were many people who supported environmental laws, the equal rights amendment, and ending of legal discrimination based on race. The GOP had many people who believed in science-based decision making. Republicans supported public education and public institutions. The Republican Party today has self-segregated itself into a White Nationalist Party of wealthy elites, under informed voters, and radicalized Christians who have lost their Jesus. New tools of our digital age have effectively been used to resurrect and energize America’s perennial demons. The base of this new GOP lives in an alternate reality. It is a political psychosis created by outrage. The true Trumpers are lustful for some violent vindication. Immune to fact and eager to believe, they will scream for truth while wallowing in a sea of lies and immorality. This majority of the immoral make up the Republican Party. I can think of no policy agenda that the Trump administration or the GOP in Congress have proposed that would be good for America or the world.
Our zeal must focus on the defeat of the policies of the GOP. Trump administration policies are a carnival of horrors. Fear and hysteria allow them to hasten the death of our planet while the base dances in riotous support. ...
