*Sigh of relief* Aaaaah! Finally, someone has brought up THAT topic! I was going to approach this topic this week, but I had a more touching matter to talk about. That’s how much I’ve stopped caring about this whole politics topic, because I think it’s just men and women with a superiority complex who have a knack for arguing like the grandchildren I would’ve had.
What’s this topic you ask? The president got acquitted out of the charges that were pressed on him. David was upset at the fact that the whole trial was sham because people like Mitch McConnel didn’t even care about the evidence. Our president does seem really cocky about the whole situation though, as he should be. Now here’s my argument. This whole impeachment process was just a symbol of the terrible fuckups brought on by political parties, as our great ex-president, George Washington had predicted.
One of the folks at work showed me a really great show called “House of Cards.” It features that child molester, Kevin Spacey, where he’s a majority whip for the Democratic party. You know what a whip does? He whips his party’s members to be on the same page and tries to swing the other party’s members to vote against party lines. When I say “whip,” I mean “WHIP!” Have you ever been whipped? It makes you behave under the threat of harm done that could be or has been done to you. In a utopian society (or dramatic movies) you’ll see people rebelling against the whip and the whip holder. But you see, the human mind is not brave. Once it’s conditioned to think a certain way, it will always be thinking in certain ways, unless it has no other choice but to lose everything.
Now with that backstory and analysis, it’s time to respond to David’s displeasure with the fact that the party members voted with party lines. David mentioned the fact that some of his other farmer friends appreciate the solidarity between the Republican party to protect the president from getting voted out of the office. That’s one of the examples of the results we get when political parties are involved in the democratic and justice process. Obviously in face of the whip, you will surely bend to the will of the whip holder. In such a way I do agree with David that the president did strong arm the republican senators, but unfortunately that is the dirty nature of party politics. Now imagine there are men who are threatening to end your career, and not only yours, but also your spouse’s and harm your children’s potential careers as well. My question to you is, would you do their bidding or let your loved ones suffer just because you were too righteous in a dirty world.
Another argument that I have is that you can’t blame the whole party for playing party politics and exercising their powers in the game. In the parts where I live now, we see the red party as a mark of Satan. But you know what the blues did. They tried to flaunt the power they have in the house of representatives by trying to threaten the president with impeachment. Don’t tell me the blues were being the defenders or liberty and justice and trying to do the righteous thing by bringing up impeachment before the elections. Why did they wait just a few months before reelection to try to impeach the president? Because everyone knows a current president running for reelection rarely loses. We all know this person shouldn’t have been elected in the first place, and there was evidence to impeach him since day one. If you play the dirty political party game and try to impeach the president, you don’t have the right to get upset if the other party plays the same game and beats you to it.
