People are welcome to engage in as much special pleading or 13-dimensional-chess-thinking as they want. But empirically, it's rare that when Party X takes an action that polls as being highly unpopular, it #actually turns out well for them politically in the near-to-medium term.

Popularity != morality.

Other things that didn’t poll well until Dems made folks reckon with them: ACA, immigration reform, gay marriage.

I’m for what’s right, not what’s popular. If we look the other way history will look at us as cowards.

There’s a lot of not terribly persuasive attempts by you to prove that you can do anything besides aggregate polls, doesn’t stop you.

Nate’s condescension never ceases to amaze. He’s like a stove manufacturer telling a chef, now let me tell you something about cooking. Stay in your lane Nate.

It was unpopular against Nixon as well.

Curiously, within a short time of Nixon resigning, it was quiet difficult to find anyone who admitted to voting for him.

Impeachment for Nixon was unpopular until hearings began and light was shone upon all of his crimes. Also, something not being popular is irrelevant when it comes to standing up for our democracy and the rule of law.https://twitter.com/amoneyresists/status/1120555910630342657?s=21 …

There's a llllllllooooooottt of not-terribly-persuasive attempts by some Sons of Liberty in Boston to rationalize away the fact that launching a revolution against George III is a really unpopular move.https://twitter.com/natesilver538/status/1122959098725773313?s=21 …

Unpopular? I live in frikkin' Kentucky and pretty much everyone I know wants the hearings to begin last week. They didn't file articles of impeachment against Nixon until they'd had months of hearings, that's the way it's supposed to work. Instead the Dems went on vacation.

lmao bro what, kentucky? do you realize that we socialize with like minded people, so obviously a lot of people you know support impeachment, but look at actual numbers. Majority in the country don't support impeachment, and kentucky is much redder than USA is overall.

Hmmm, didn't read my post closely, did you? The Congress had hearing after hearing on Watergate before articles of impeachment were filed against Nixon. I think there's a lot of conflation between impeaching right this second and pursuing hearings, including from

Impeachment happens *after* impeachment hearings because OF COURSE THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO APPROVE OF IT!
