Already I'm thinking of reversing my weakly pro-Impeachment stance, as it's already clear it's a huge distraction.
On the very day the Articles of Impeachment were passed, the House also endorsed NAFTA 2.0 and it looks like the new "Defense" authorization Trump requested is going to pass.
From what I've seen, the Impeachment drone got 99% of the airtime (even though, even my most pro-Impeachment friends do not believe Trump will be removed from office anyway because the Senate won't convict), and there was hardly any mention of the other issues on Mainstream Media.
Of course, it's likely Mainstream Media would have just found something else to talk about (like Russiagate) if there weren't an Impeachment.
It's very clear corporatocracy-promoting outlets like MSNBC are using obsessive Impeachment! ranting (often bringing back the old disproven Russiagate themes) as something like Impeachment-Washing the rest of their corporate agenda.
All of my friends believe in virtually all of the debunked or widely exaggerated Russiagate claims. Russia has become the #1 concernt of many people it seems. And Impeachment-Washing means there will never be the closer examination the false narrative deserves. Anything that takes the wrong side will be dismissed as RussiaBots or TrumpBots. This is a lost generation for sure.
