Not winter.
Impeachment.
Just not on Twitter's timeline. I assigned a reading from Francis Fukuyama's book from 6 years ago, where he argued that while democracy might be the global default (even authoritarian regimes have "elections") the institutions of democracy are both fragile and often unworkable. Looking around the world, it is difficult to say that democracy is in a healthy place. Above all, democracy requires the rule of law - that the law is sovereign over everyone even, especially, the powerful. Trump's entire life is a frontal assault of the rule of law.
It's time democracy fought back.
