Trump was impeached for obstruction of justice and abuse of power. The core one for me and most on the left was his apparent quid pro quo of Ukraine. Everyone should agree that a sitting President should be removed from office if they did indeed tell a foreign government that they would withhold aid money unless they aided in the investigation of a political opponent.
As far as the Russian interference into the 2016 election, I don't think the Democrat position was that Russian cast fraudulent ballots. I think the claim was that Russian propaganda had found its way into our news outlets and was also propagated by Trump and his campaign. In fact, it looked like some in the Trump campaign worked with and openly accepted misleading or hacked documents to hurt the Clinton campaign.
Again, if the Trump campaign is squeaky clean, then why did so many wind up in court or in jail?
So in short, the left's claim of Russian interference into the 2016 election, something that there is very little doubt of at this point is vastly different than the right's claim of fraudulent ballots being cast or counted in the 2020 election. Trump's conduct the past week, from declaring victory Wednesday morning to claiming states he lost as his on Twitter later in the week, is disgusting and immoral. He's doing everything he can to disparage the office as it's clear he lost and is on his way out.
