With that in mind, let me try to explain the world view of Republicans like me when it comes to Trump’s impeachment. AdvertisementRepublicans believe Democrats are operating in bad faith, because impeachment has been their goal since before the president was sworn in. Republicans believe Democrats simply never got over losing the 2016 election and have been casting about since then — frantically, desperately — for a way to make it all go away as soon as possible. In addition, many Republicans believe Democrats have chosen to simply dismiss facts that are inconvenient. Given all these things, Republicans wonder why we can’t just settle everything in the upcoming election.
