Some people are worried that the promise of a civil war may become a reality --- the democratic majority (especially if the election is close in some key states) will have to rely on the "discipline" of the police forces and the military -- especially the hierarchy --- Granted the military hierarchy will stick with the ruling class -- but there could be SERIOUS civil disorders by the "militias" and who knows where the local police forces will be -- (throw in ICE agents who are BIG supporters of Trump as well as the military folks who have been brainwashed) --- I do believe that unless there is very successful voter suppression, that the Dems will pull it out -- BUT -- it will depend on the Obama coalition coming out to vote --- :I do not agree with this article. I don’t think it’s a good analysis. Firstof all, the author completely fails to understand what’s really at work inthese proceedings, which is another way of saying he ignores the classdynamics. In my opinion, the mainstream of the capitalist class has finallydecided that it cannot allow a demented (seriously) person to continue hisdrive for one man rule unchecked. In his Ukraine actions, Trump showed thathe was going to do whatever it took to continue down that path for anotherfour years. His Syria blunder “worse than a crime - a mistake” toparaphrase Talleyrand), committed after impeachment had begun, will haveenormously reinforced their determination. And while seriously weakened,their influence over the US population is still very strong.In the course of the hearings all sorts of dirt will come out.
