12. And as I've noted previously, this is not 1998 and Trump isn't Clinton

There is no American historical precedent for our situation so quit trying to look for it. We are in a situation where almost the entire Republican Party and a large percentage of the American people live in a totally different reality where no evidence of wrongdoing is likely to reach them. When this happens in other countries, it leads to authoritarianism. Based on books like "What is Populism" and "How Democracies Die" the institutions we rely.on to protect us stop functioning and direct assaults like impeachment are often ineffective.

I'm not totally against impeachment at this point, but we really need to be aware of where the real danger is and deal with that. The danger is in our fellow citizens and the Republican Party who will continue down the authoritarian path with or without Trump.
