Trump won't be convicted in the Senate, and that's okay.

[Collimator]

44. Detlefk, I know that you are not using the expression. . .

"That's okay" to mean that an acquittal is a good thing or even an unfortunate thing that we should just shrug our shoulders over and accept.

Like the vast majority of people in this world, I am not a political insider and I don't understand the multi-level chess game that is being played out on the board of history at this time. So, I am going to refrain from saying "this should happen" or "no, we need to do that".

Instead, I will make what many might see as a vapid comment.

Have you ever heard the expression, "Sometimes hopeless causes are the only ones worth fighting for"?

Justice for Trump may not be achieved through the political act of impeachment. But impeachment must be pursued. Because even if the act of impeachment is a hopeless cause due to the Republican controlled Senate, the larger, more significant cause is NOT hopeless.

A more just world for everyone is a possibility--not a perfect world--but a world that is incrementally better. The increments of improvement made seem painfully small at times. Like a tree branch growing cell by cell through a prison fence, we can't always measure the growth by what we see in our daily lives. And yet as long as there is endurance, there is growth.

There are generations of young people coming after us who see the connection between people of all backgrounds as well as the human race and the natural world. And yes, there are young people who have been taught fear and hatred from their elders, but they are in the minority.

It is for the ones with open hearts that we must press forward regardless of how uncertain the outcome. The effort to impeach is the only honorable option, no matter what comes of it.
