As the House of Representatives races to vote on impeaching President Trump before Christmas, it’s easy to assume this is a path the nation has walked before. But that’s the wrong way to see it
They Don’t Represent Us,As the House of Representatives races toward its self-imposed deadline of Christmas to vote on the impeachment of President Donald Trump, it’s easy to assume this is a path the nation has walked before. After all, impeachment is outlined in the Constitution, and we’ve lived through one as recently as 1999.
The impeachment of Donald Trump will happen in a radically different media environment — again. Polling persists, indeed it has expanded, and so politicians will know almost exactly how the proceedings are playing among their own voters. But as information channels have multiplied, real “broadcast democracy”—the shared and broad engagement with a common set of facts —has disappeared.
This means that as the story of impeachment develops, it will be understood differently across the network-based tribes of America. The correlation among conservatives and liberals alike that drove Nixon from the White House won’t be visible in 2020—because it won’t be there. Regardless of what happens, on one side, it will be justice delivered. On the other, justice denied.
