Let's be real here: I think impeachment was Plan B. They wanted to shift the Overton window to the point where an assassination would have been acceptable to the public. This is why you had Julius Caesar with Trump as Caesar. It's why Trump got shot in a music video. It's why a washed-up comedian displayed his severed head in effigy. I honestly think the media intended to prep the American people for a presidential assassination by poisoning the waters surrounding him and his family, and by suggesting the idea implicitly to every psycho watching.
There is a word for what this was: Sedition. Thomas Jefferson would have personally shot those responsible on the White House lawn and called it a day. And make no mistake, we are, for all intents and purposes, in the midst of a cold civil war right now.
