6/ When thinking about attack surfaces, Facebook, or the attorney general, or a dozen FBI agents are very minor, even trivial threats to our democracy. The power of the president in the US means that the president is a much much greater potential threat.

Your argument is that lobbyists manipulate be the public into wanting impeachment? So...disregard the will of the people because the voters have been manipulated? Both the pro-Trump and pro-impeachment arguments have the identical dynamic of claiming manipulation of voters.

No. The word Press we associate with truth. The word lobbyist highlights the bias making arguments non-persuasive. Describing things as they are inoculates

I honestly don’t understand this post at all or how it relates to mine. We know press is always biased and imperfect and that can vary in degrees. What does that have to do with preferring the will of the people’s elected officials when they support Trump vs impeaching Trump?

So many assumptions in your post that I just said no. And highlighted the issue . We have lobbyists, not Press, who align narratives around some lose facts. Again when these lobbyists are coordinating narratives with unelected officials to remove a president it's an issue.

There are lobbyists on both sides always.

Absolutely. I like neither lobby group. (especially despise the neo-cons) The deal with Trump. Objectively, he is the first peace candidate we've elected in 21st century. Wars need to stop death toll has been massive. And there's risk for larger tail events.

Objectively he’s the first president to threaten nuclear war on Twitter. Strange way of doing peace.

Rough words, yet the results are broadly peaceful. Secession of Syrian regime change efforts, and N. Korea deal. Obama spoke beautifully while engaging in atrocities. Libyan war, and CIA torture, even prosecuted the whistle blower.
