Impeachment is not about public opinion, it is not about "Did he get to serve a full term," it is not about political fears of base retribution. It is about whether or not the President is above the law and deciding if any crimes can be committed without fear of prosecution.
If impeachment is about "fairness," or a political calculation, or about opinion polls, then the President is above the law and things are about to get MUCH, MUCH worse in this country as Republicans figure out how much more power they have to commit crimes at the executive level
Imagine treating Black people on the street who commit petty crimes with this level of legal deference. Imagine DAs and legal scholars fighting over themselves to appease the Black community by saying Black people who commit crimes can't be prosecuted. This **** is absurdity.
Perhaps only when viewed outside the lense of white supremacy. Everyone implicitly knows that a Black person at any level, especially President, would not be given this level of deference and appeasement on crimes committed. But when a racist has the support of the WWC? Oh boy!
