A lot of people voted for trump because of the promises he made around jobs. and so it's a failed political strategy if the goal actually is to get trump impeached. trump's not going to get impeached if he's still useful to the republican party, and the only thing that makes him not useful to the republican party is if his base turns on him. and that's not going to happen over russia. that's going to happen over economic betrayal. but that's not going to happen if no one knows that it's happening.

More From Naomi Klein

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

I am a political recidivist. an incorrigible, repeat voter. a career lever-pusher. my electoral rap sheet is as long as your arm. over the course of three decades, i have voted for presidents and school board members. i have voted in high hopes and high dudgeon. i have voted in favor of candidates and merely against their opponents. i have voted for propositions written with such complexity that i needed noam chomsky to deconstruct their meaning. i have been a single-issue voter and a marginal voter. i have even voted for people who ran unopposed. hold an election and i'll be there.
Rap School Careers
There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.
Inspirational Wise Wisdom
Obviously, donald trump won't be impeached or removed so long as the republicans hold even one house of congress. and even should they lose both in november of 2018, launching an impeachment - as the republicans discovered with bill clinton - is very dangerous to the impeaching party. unless you have a highly credible set of extremely damning facts, you turn a constitutional crisis into a political crisis. you rally potential supporters of the impeached president to him. you make his base bigger. so i imagine that he is likely to serve out the full term.
Party Long House
Here you have the republican party, and they had, what, 16, 15 candidates seek the republican nomination? and donald trump won it. and they have been enraged actually since day one when trump announced, and his statement did not result in a trump implosion, and then future trump statements and appearances did not result in a trump implosion. but the candidates that the republican party...they thought they had the best presidential field ever, and they hated and resented trump for that.
Party Presidential Nominations
Most of trump's support is not the conservative base. it's all over the spectrum. he's got support from women, hispanics, blue-collar democrats, the old reagan democrats. the demographic support that trump has is what the republican party claims it wants. meanwhile, the republican party is running around saying they want to win the nomination without the conservative base, without the pro-lifers, without the social issues crowd. well, that's trump.

It has always been a happy thought to me that the creek runs on all night, new every minute, whether i wish it or know it or care, as a closed book on a shelf continues to whisper to itself its own inexhaustible tale.

In my run-ins with christians... i find that they really are good moral people. and we overlap on everything, and they don't seem to be the kind of people that are waiting to hear voices to tell them what to do.

Never surrender opportunity to security.
Running Opportunity Surrender
A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. it is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt...if the game runs sometime against us at home, we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake.
