    They’re going to move forward with it. This has nothing to do with facts. It’s all about using impeachment to gain a political leg up if you have the votes.

    The Fox and OAN viewers will be sheltered from the facts.

      My mother didn’t know that private prisons existed until yesterday. She voted for Obama his first/second term. Now she is a supporter of Desantis and Trump. Fox did a great job at changing people

      I dont have a source, but last time i saw this came up on lemmy, the conversation was that, historically, bringing forth an impeachment actually hurts that party’s chances of reelection

        It does, markedly. However, this time the goal isn’t to make Biden look worse than Trump, it’s to make corruption seem par for the course and eliminate a perceived Trump weakness.
