We would be in a very different place if the Democrats had made their peace with Trump's election and then evidence of impeachable offenses had emerged. As it stands I can't shake the sense that we are watching the republic come apart before our eyes.
We're setting ourselves up for a very volatile situation in which impeachment (very predictably) fails to result in removal and Trump (very predictably) wins a second democratic election. This'll be treated as a near impossibility, a complete surprise & a subversion of democracy.

My point is that if we remain delusional about political headwinds, the strengths + weaknesses of the strategies the Democrats are employing, etc., the end result is going to be large number of people who falsely believe that elections have failed & it's time for guilloitines.

Elected sitting presidents seeking re-election very, very rarely fail to get it. When they do fail, they're facing a weak economy (Trump is not) and/or an extremely strong cross-party-popular opponent (Trump almost certainly will not be).

This presupposes that not impeaching him leads to his not getting re-elected and that an impeachment failure won’t show a side to be too partisan to be trusted. The middle of the political country still holds we are a nation of laws and this course is correct.

The offenses alleged are impeachable, and in my opinion that means a just and lawful society will impeach. But it's very important that the people understand the purpose and process, and keep a level head.

I consistently hear that impeachment is setting up Trump to win reelection. It hasn't been treated as an impossibility at all...

For people outside of the MSM echo chamber. Everyone still in there has a perfectly curated diet of half truths and fabrications that they are unable to comprehend this.
