I agree. I never hear the impeachment even mentioned much less talked about. But I wonder, is it because of indifference or because Trump has so divided the public and inflamed opinions to the point people are wary about saying anything in public for fear they may find themselves in an angry confrontation?
At work, in stores, around the neighborhood, I hardly hear Trump mentioned at all.
I wonder the same thing. It was always risky to talk politics in social situations, which is why I do it online instead, but on the Trump era it seems almost dangerous.
My experience matches yours, but, based on SG's experience, they must be talking about him somewhere.
We all know about Trump's weird posture when he sits or stands, that weird leaning forward. He never sits back in those yellow chairs he meets heads of state in.
And notice how there are a few fat pics of him on the golf course but that he pretty much hides when he's golfing these days.
Well I was thinking back brace or something. But perusing search for an explanation, there it was.
He's wearing a corset. That's why he can't bend his back in a normal way and why his clothes fit so poorly.

I don't know. Maybe Trump is just plain weird. Below is a photo of Trump and Melania taken in 2003. (She looks different because it was pre-plastic surgery.) Donnie looks younger and slimmer, but he still seems to being leaning slightly forward.

I hope that if you read my posts carefully you'll see that I don't consider them equivalent. Only that I also dislike Bezos, for different reasons. Which are largely subjective, and sometimes stem from values that don't really apply to Trump, as they are running very different kinds of businesses. There's a limit to how much a luxury real estate developer can use vertical integration strategies in an anti-competitive way. Amazon is probably more analogous to Wal-Mart. Both remind me of the "company store" operating in a small mining town. You can get everything you need on easy credit, plus a job to pay for it, but it will be difficult to ever come out ahead, because the mining company fine-tunes the math to make sure that doesn't happen.
I have considered going to work for Amazon. I'd have Amazon wages to buy cheap stuff on Amazon, plus an Amazon credit card. I'd have access to great deals on Amazon ibuprofen for Amazon aches and pains. I may even save money on sales tax, because that's all part of the business plan. Amazon might have to pay *some* sales tax, because gradually some tax avoidance mechanisms become counterproductive or unseemly. But Bezos is good at math. Better than local jurisdictions competing for a new warehouse.
But please don't miss that I don't even blame Bezos for these realities. He only owns 16 percent of Amazon. His shares are like anyone else's, unlike Zuckerberg's side deal at Facebook. He's more accountable than the Waltons or the Sackler family of OxyContin fame. He's not the Kochs. I'm just saying that these entrepreneurs shape public life in ways beyond the scope of a luxury landlord - at least until he's elected president.
I don't think Bezos is anywhere NEAR Trump levels of being an Odious Human Being. And I don't understand when you say Bezos's wealth is tied up in capital. Do you mean inventory? Trump's wealth is tied up in capital. I'm sorry, I snipped too much of your post. But I can redeem myself and post a crude link to the New Yorker:
Must be your neighborhood. I hear it all the time around here: at work, in the neighborhood, occasionally someone in a store will say how much they want Trump impeached.

They had to take the news stations (all of them) off the TVs at the VA because it was generating too many heated "conversations". So, since I get my blood drawn often, at the same time of day, whenever I'm there I have to sit through reruns of Matlock.
