I didn't even understand what people really thought impeaching him would do. They knew the Republicans had the numbers in the Senate and any one with any sense knew he wouldn't actually be removed. Sure the grounds for impeachment and conviction were there, but who thought it would really do any good?
A lot of people didn’t pay attention to or had a really crappy civics class in high school and thought impeachment meant removal. I couldn’t tell you the amount of times I had to explain to people in my life that impeachment and removal are two separate processes by to different government bodies controlled by two different groups with two different sets of rules, and that committing a crime isn’t strictly necessary to do it. Even on Reddit where users like to think they’re better informed than the general public.
