Will Republicans really try to impeach Biden? Sure — he's wounded, and they smell blood
Liberals aren't ready to face the truth: The Biden honeymoon is over, fascism's on the rise and winter is coming

Several weeks ago, I warned that the Republicans will impeach Joe Biden after they likely regain control of the House of Representatives next year. This is an obvious conclusion based on what leading Republicans, Donald Trump himself and the right-wing propaganda machine have been saying in public since Biden's election last year.

Impeaching Biden is one tactical or strategic element in a larger plan to delegitimize any election that Republican do not win. The ultimate goal is to replace America's nascent multiracial democracy with an unofficial apartheid system under which nonwhite people and other targeted groups are effectively second-class citizens. The Democratic Party would be rendered practically irrelevant, and the country would be a type of fake democracy ruled under a system of "competitive authoritarianism.”

1. Can't we just try to win next Fall before we give up and predict impeachment?

Obviously, Democrats aren't going to impeach Biden.

Can we please be a little more nuanced than "it's either a Honeymoon or a fascist winter" nonsense?

5. Exactly

[PoliticAverse]

2. So what? They aren't going to have 67 votes in the Senate. The more important thing...

is if they win the House then Biden simply doesn't get any desirable legislation passed.

3. If we lose the House majority, and they are successful in an impeachment of Biden, they won't

convict because of the 2/3 required in the Senate

4. If they win the House, they will take about five minutes to impeach Biden. Guaranteed

[we can do it]

6. Get voting rights act passed and stop worrying about it.

11. People are worried about it exactly because we can't get the voting rights act passed.

We don't have the numbers to pass the kind of legislation that inspires people to vote. I know that most of us on DU don't have to be "inspired" to vote, we just do it, but new voters are fickle. They often expect unrealistic results in a couple of years. The other side is not only fired up on hate, they are cheating whenever & wherever they can. GOTV has always been our strength, but the other side may have finally rat fucked us out of that.

9. They'd do it now

if they could.

10. There is no doubt. If they win the House (unfortunately likely), it will be Benghazi on steroids

12. President Biden NEVER had a honeymoon. repubiicans stalled on everything they could with transition.

and what's this 'likelihood' that republicans will regain control of the house?

13. I usually don't read Huffington post

anymore. To much negativity.

[spanone]

15. agreed.

[brooklynite]

14. And this would accomplish what?

Even if he was Impeached, he wouldn't be convicted by the Senate, and thus would be "acquitted" in the eyes of the public.

16. They will impeach and charge any and all Dems that they can. We're in a war

We should act like it and fight back against them.

If we don't prosecute, they will steal it. Once they have it, they will come after any and all Dems.

[budkin]

17. Absolutely

It’s going to be their new norm.
