Split-screen America: Alternate realities on display as House votes to impeach Trump by bradheath

WASHINGTON - Americans got a striking split-screen view on Wednesday of just how divided their politics have become.

In one, Trump’s conduct toward Ukraine was an abuse of his office so grave he should be expelled from the White House. In the other, he was himself the innocent victim of political abuse. The tumultuous journey to Trump’s impeachment has riven Americans for months. Slightly less than half of Americans supported impeaching Trump, the first step in removing him from office. A roughly equal number opposed it, according to polling by Reuters/Ipsos on Monday and Tuesday.

Trump took the stage at an arena in Battle Creek in western Michigan, waving and smiling, at the same moment Democratic leaders finished delivering their case against him. “The country is doing better than ever before,” he said. “We did nothing wrong.” Since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment investigation into Trump on Sept. 24, warring U.S. political factions have seen little common ground on the president’s actions regarding Ukraine.

As lawmakers debated, Trump weighed in on Twitter, quoting Fox News commentators and saying: “THIS IS AN ASSAULT ON AMERICA, AND AN ASSAULT ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!!”

bradheath Good wordchoice, Reuters. All these people saying it's only one reality and then adding either a pro-impeachment opinion or the opposite pretty much validate using that word. They are two REALITIES to these people, and nothing more. We're truly retarded, America.

bradheath Democrats voted to impeach and that’s it.

bradheath Not “alternative realities.” There was one reality: Impeachment. Those who chose to ignore reality really shouldn’t be pandered to.
