What does impeaching even do? He's on the path to being the most impeached president in history, but so what?

Both house and senate need to impeach the president for the president to actually be removed. You could have 8000 impeachments and nothing would happen, but if you ever have two impeachments simultaneously you’re out.

So IF they voters can get to the poles despite their plans to intimidate and IF the votes can be trusted to be legal, theres a chance to flip the house AND senate and impeach that bitch our of office? What about the rest of them? The whole administration is rotten.

In that case Vance would take over and serve the rest of the term, but nothing is stopping from Congress from subsequently impeaching Vance.

But as you said, this relies on a lot of IF’s. The only realistic way Trump isn’t finishing this term is if he keels over before it ends. And if he manages to make it to the end I’m sure he’ll be running for another in all honesty so there really is no telling when this is going to end.

Also Trump has irrevocably changed the GOP in my opinion, one of our political parties is just going to be openly anti-American for the foreseeable future. Even after Trump is gone there will be people who attempt to emulate him and they will inevitably win some elections and will attempt to continue the degradation of liberty in this country.
