Democrats Move Forward With Trump Impeachment

In a way, impeachment is for us, for our morale. If you’re forced to live with an abuser, you have to fight back psychologically as much as you can, even if you’re not in a position to escape. You have to fight the gaslighting and establish a zone of truth even if no one else will listen, to give your own mind a space in which to function. We need to get the truth to come out. It may force the collective abuse to escalate, but that’s usually one of the stages in unmasking the abusers.

Exactly. There may (or may not) be worse things in the short term. Things will be MUCH worse in the long term if you do nothing though.

Yes, even if he is not punished because of it someone who can do so NEEDS to say "this was stepping over the line". If not you give him permission to keep going and it sets a precedent.

I do agree with this. I think the House needs to impeach, whether it will succeed or not. It needs to go into the history books that Donald Trump was one of the American presidents who was impeached.

But there's hazards - it's just important that we all recognize what those are.

It doesn't matter if impeachment succeeds or not. It doesn't matter who it helps, politically. This is for the Republic, for the Constitution, standing up and saying "This is wrong".
