      Himes added that impeachment is a necessary tool to prevent the USA from becoming an “authoritarian dictatorship,” which he says is likely. These members of Congress are engaged in what’s known as “catastrophizing,” a psychological tendency that produces great anxiety and stress

          Right now the only people acting like an 'authoritarian dictorship' is the Dem majority House of Representatives

          And that’s not just throwing psychological terms around; catastrophizing is literally what’s going on.

          Under these circumstances I think it is imperative to vote for Trump in 2020.

          I like “histrionic” also: exaggerated dramatic behavior designed to attract attention. I do think over the last three years that we’re being inoculated against this tactic. Becoming far less effective?

          I'm glad that we've managed to make this whole process even more of an abstraction, nothing will get out of hand if we continue along this path.

          and they hope after torturing their 55+ year old supporters like this for 3 years, they r now "energized" & eager to vote. somehow I find it improbable.

          If they throw Mueller in prison, they will prove themselves correct.

          As well as poor representatives,their memory is equally poor-insane,tyrannical hysteria is usually dealt with in only one fashion and it’s not retirement with the Cadillac package of benefits-its the end of a rope🇺🇸

          They are literally taking advantage of people who genuinely fear the bad Orange Man. I wonder what the actual numbers are for the increase in psychological interventions since 2016 🤔

          If we end net neutrality people will die! If we cut taxes people will die! Our president is a Russian spy who is gonna...? Called Trump a Nazi since 2015. This message seems to appeal to democrats, which is why I won’t vote for them in 2020.

          These people are not sane. They've bought their own koolaid, and are living in an alternate reality. America is in serious trouble, if these are the calibre of people creating Laws for the nation.
