This isn’t about impeaching Trump, it’s about silencing us
Impeachment is only a means to an end.
And the end goal is to put us uppity Americans back in our place.

The Left is hoping to impeach the President of the United States.
But impeaching Trump is just a means to an end, not the end itself.
The goal here is to silence us.
In fact, it is just one more in a long line of attempts to keep us
uppity Americans from having a say in our self-government.
I absolutely believe that impeaching Trump is about us –
our punishment for not bowing to our social betters.
The only crime President Trump has committed is putting the American people first.
And for the establishment – the Swamp if you will — that simply cannot stand.
So they seek to destroy him as a way to silence and punish us.
Impeaching Trump is the tool, not the goal.
Their hope is to so dispirit us that we throw up our hands and give up.
They want us at the point where we stalk off defeated thinking,
“Why should we even try anymore?”
This isn’t new.
They’ve been doing this ever since Donald Trump announced his candidacy.
In fact, they’ve been doing this for years before Donald Trump even decided to run.
This is, as Angelo Codevilla famously put it in 2010,
the Ruling Class versus the Country Class.
And billionaire Donald Trump became the unlikely champion of the Country Class –
the regular folks whom Washington has scoffed at and ignored for decades.
Or as Ann Coulter put it in the summary of her book
In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!:
Donald Trump isn’t a politician — he’s a one-man wrecking ball against our dysfunctional and corrupt establishment. We’re about to see the deluxe version of the left’s favorite theme: Vote for us or we’ll call you stupid. It’s the working class against the smirking class.
Nobody in his right mind would think this “smirking class” would just lie down and let the American people take away its power.
They will fight with everything they have to keep their grip on our self-government.
Even if that means fighting dirty.
Last year, President Trump held a rally in West Virginia. And,
among other hateful things said about it, was this tweet:
In a column titled There’s a reason for the sneering condescension of the Smirking Class,
I wrote:
Do you know why the Left and the Media despise Donald J. Trump?
It isn’t because they think he’s a fascist. And it has nothing to do with Russia.
No. They despise Donald Trump because he reinvigorated a segment of the country who had given up on voting.
More importantly, he reinvigorated a segment of the country the Smirking Class didn’t want voting.
In late 2011 Rush Limbaugh pointed out a story in the New York Times by Thomas Edsall in which Edsall wrote that the Obama campaign made the conscious decision to write off white working class voters.
For Obama, this strategy worked because the Republicans nominated a squishy, cosmopolitan RINO to run against him.
So white working class voters did as they were expected. They stayed home.
In June 2015, the New York Times reported that Hillary would use the same strategy Obama did.
Screw the white working class. She was going after the Obama coalition of minorities and women.
And had things gone according to plan, she would have won.
If the GOP had nominated Jeb Bush as the Smirking Class had planned, the white working class would have stayed home again.
But that didn’t happen.
Instead, Donald Trump won the nomination.
And the tens of millions of working class voters who had given up came roaring back again.
Instead of being demoralized, they were energized.
And let’s be honest. The Democrats can’t win when working class voters are energized.
And that’s why the Smirking Class hates Donald Trump.
Nothing has changed.
They still want to shut us up.
But in 2016, they failed at keeping us from electing President Trump.
They failed at every subsequent smear campaign.
And their attempted backroom coup – or insurance policy — is falling apart.
So what’s left?
Well, impeaching Trump.
So they’re going to make 2018 all about impeaching Trump.
And in the intervening weeks, they hope to dispirit us, discourage us and silence us.
But I’m going to say the same exact thing now that I said before the 2016 election: Vote:
The only poll that matters is the election itself. This is the only one that will include not “possible voters,” not “likely voters,” but people who actually went out and cast their votes.
And in that poll, there are more of us.
The Enslaved Press may want to deny it, my friends, but there are more of us. And the best way to prove that to them is to vote.
Vote.
No matter what.
At the end of all of this, the truth is, you and I have more power over the outcome of this election than any poll or any “It’s Over” news report from the Enslaved Press.
We are the last surprise.
Vote — not just to stop them from impeaching Trump.
No.
Vote to stop them from silencing, subjugating and disenfranchising us.
The Smirking Class needs a win in November to
keep us from reclaiming our own self-government.
We’re the ones who are standing in their way.
And come November, we have to be the ones to stop them.
Nice post. I do believe they are trying to silence us which is just unamerican. We have free speech in order to speak freely. Banning people is the same as an 'in-kind' donation to the Democrats, which is totally illegal.
Get out the vote on November 8th!
I hear you. The 2016 election I got two people to vote for the first time in their life, my goal is to try and persuade one more and hopefully another by the next presidential election. Trump getting rid of the Obama care fine for not having insurance sure will help convince one, she was actually paying the fine because it was cheaper then carrying the insurance. That, the tax break and increased child tax credit have come in handy to maintain my original two.
howdy there sunlit7! hey I don't understand the whole impeachment thing, I mean I know they want to but then they'd have someone who could actually work with people without causing strife everyday, I mean Pence could actually get more done that the liberals hate so you'd think they would be afraid of that.
what do you think about Pence? I think he's be a nightmare for the libs.
I am a Trump supporter. Seeing how he's becoming probably the most hated man in America that support has only grown. I admire the fact that he could have chosen to continue to live a lavish lifestyle among the rich and famous but decided to go to bat for America. Of course the globalist elitist establishment is going to hate him, they had a agenda and that was to turn a large percentage of Americans into low wage third world style slave labor to compete on the world market. It's not easy to get a movement rolling and I wish him all the luck combating those elitist b-tards. I think Pence does a good job behind the scenes for the president, he may actually be running the show with Trump as a up front distraction...who knows, right? It would be pretty clever if that's the strategy. I don't hear a lot from or about him to give a fair enough answer if I think he'd be a good president, compared to Trump though I think he would have folded under the pressures applied to Trump by now.
howdy again sunlit7! that's for your reply! yes well I agree and say amen! yes come to think of it we haven't heard anything about Pence for months, or at least I haven't but I think he'd be able to work with everyone and the dems would hate him as well. well they hate everybody it seems!
That's just the problem if you ask me, successful working together means agreeing to the same old, same old agenda. You have to have someone willing to buck the system to force change.
howdy again sunlit7! hey I so agree and I think it can be done and alot IS being done so it's interesting to watch, the midterms will be interesting as well!
I think you are spot on, I think the mid terms are going to tell us a lot about the direction that people want to move....on the other hand though you have to think about where positions get turned if they get turned. A republican in a majority blue state may not stand a chance against all the anger democrats seemed to be filled with, that could be the motivating factor that pushes that margin who usually don't vote to vote...but we will see.
yes Ma'am sunlit7..I doubt if there has ever been such hatred among the dems, at least I haven't seen it. Even worse the W. and they hated him with a passion as you know. Even Ted Cruise here in Texas is neck and neck with his liberal opponent and may lose his seat, that's getting serious if that can happen!
Yeah I wasn't a W. fan by no means, if you talk about a stolen election he definitely managed that in my opinion. It's really hard now considering how the media sold the guaranteed Hillary win to believe if people are neck in neck or just plain being sold what the media wants to wish will be true. Texas is tough, pretty hard to beat them, though some on other blogs are saying it's starting to turn into a bastion of liberals who have moved out of California.
