The party of fear

In the wake of Nancy Pelosi's declaration that any impeachment of the president*will have to be bipartisan in nature, the GOP is already trotting out its theme for 2020;  fear.  Of course this is the same thing republicans have run on since 1968.  Nixon fanned the fear of the "dirty hippies" who crashed the democratic convention in Chicago that year.  He also implemented the Southern Strategy of appealing to the racists who abandoned the dems in the wake of LBJ's civil rights legislation.  Since then the party has raised fear of Arab terrorists, civil rights activists, health care for all and lately fear of immigrant terrorists, a twofer!  This is the moral bankruptcy which leads to a tRump presidency.
