force the U.S. ruling class to get rid of Trump.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">It is unthinkable that any but a few marginal voices in the mainstream “liberal” Democrats and their media (CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, The Atlantic, The New
Yorker, et al.) would call for peoples’ power in the streets to bring down the Trump tyranny. The “liberal” elite is fiercely committed to Fake Resistance. It may be obsessed with Trump to the exclusion of practically everything else that ought to matter in
national and world events (popular rebellions from France to Chile, Beirut, Quito and Hong Kong included) but they will not embrace the most effective method of collapsing the Trump-Pence regime collapse: mass mobilization and protest. Embracing an authentic
people’s resistance movement would open a popular-democratic door that the Democratic establishment prefers to keep shut.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">That establishment is instead advancing two tepid, deeply conservative strategies that will likely fail to get Trump out and will come with dreadful downsides—even if they succeed. Both of these
strategies are designed keep the U.S. working-class majority functioning not as engaged historical agents, but as passive, system-trusting spectators who accede to <a href="https://chomsky.info/20041029/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(147, 42, 3); transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" class="">a
narrow definition of “politics” as little more</a> than the occasional, strictly time-staggered marking of ballots next to the names of candidates selected in advance by the nation’s unelected and interrelated dictatorships of money and empire.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">The first of these power-serving strategies is the standard quadrennial get-out-the-vote effort to rally citizens behind yet another corporate-centrist billionaire-pleasing and militaristic “national

and the malignant white nationalist Trump.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">With the usual help from the <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/11/08/the-real-constitutional-crisis-the-constitution/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(147, 42, 3); transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" class="">anti-democratic

help perhaps from constitutionalists in the U.S. military command), putting another Wall Street Democrat in the White House will just open door the for another neofascist white-nationalist Republican president in 2024—possibly someone more ideologically dedicated,
less obviously corrupt and thus more dangerous than Trump.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">(Yes, the Democrats could prevail if they run the self-declared democratic socialist Bernie Sanders. But the Democrats’ big money bankrollers and media won’t let that happen. The Democratic establishment’s

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">The second flawed “liberal” strategy is, of course, impeachment, likely by the end of the year. It requires just a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, where the Democrats hold sway.
But (as a remarkable number of U.S.-Americans I encounter seem not to know) removal requires a two-thirds vote in the U.S. Senate, where the nation’s most racist and right-wing regions are <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/11/08/the-real-constitutional-crisis-the-constitution/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(147, 42, 3); transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" class="">absurdly
over-represented</a> and the Trumpified Republican Party holds sway. The Republican-run Senate is not going to remove the demented fascist oligarch from office just because he tried to trade New Cold War arms for political dirt on Joe Biden in Ukraine—not
when <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/11/01/trumps-approval-rating-among-republicans-falls-wapo-abc-news-poll/4120897002/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(147, 42, 3); transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" class="">a
super-majority of Republicans “strongly approve”</a> of Trump’s performance no matter what he does or says. And Trump may well use “exoneration” by the Senate to his electoral advantage next November.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">At the same time, the Democrats are pursuing impeachment on chillingly narrow and imperialist grounds that whitewash the crimes of U.S. foreign policy, past and present. Democratic politicos
and talking heads proclaim House impeachment testifier Ambassador William B. Taylor Jr. a great “national hero” and all-around “good guy” because Taylor was a rifle company commander “serving” in the Quang Tri and Thua Tien provinces in the United States’
beloved 101st Airborne during <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/22/ken-burns-and-lynn-novicks-vietnam-war-some-predictions/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(147, 42, 3); transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" class="">the
so-called Vietnam War</a>. Fellow Ukraine-Gate witness Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman is upheld as another great patriot for “serving” in the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">One need not be a fan of Vladimir Putin’s oligarchic regime to wonder what’s so great about Washington’s sponsorship of the corrupt U.S.-backed capitalist Ukraine government, which is the product
of a U.S.-backed 2014 coup and contains neo-Nazis. On what grounds do top Democrats think Washington <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/12/11/war-over-ukraine/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(147, 42, 3); transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" class="">has

why have none of them beyond Sanders and a few other progressives denounced the recent neofascist coup in Bolivia or voiced support for this year’s popular uprisings in Ecuador and Chile?</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">Even if impeachment leads to removal, Trump’s defenestration merely for interjecting his personal interests into Washington’s imperialist policy in Eastern Europe could constitute both an undeserved

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">To make matters worse, impeachment threatens to become a great rallying point for Trump’s ugly white-nationalist base while encouraging the nation’s all-too-silent progressive majority to stay

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 28px;" class="">If we are serious about getting rid of the demented fascist oligarch and his insurance policy, Pence, then we are going to have to join and expand an authentic opposition, a real popular resistance
