The "division" argument

If Donald Trump is impeached, it will divide the country even further?

He hasn't been impeached yet, and the country is very divided already.

Every day that Donald Trump is in power, the country is divided more and more.

If he is not impeached, we will be divided. If he is impeached, we will be divided. The amount of "division" is by degree.

If impeachment is taken off the table, will we no longer be divided?

So long as this cancer is in the White House, we will never be able to unify behind anything or attempt to heal this country.

Trump *is* divisive but it's because how he conducts himself and the business of our country, not because there are people whom are being harmed by his policies every day and good-minded people are justifiably angry about what's happening.

It's really not hard to tell the difference, is it?

I always think that when things are rough, we should go by the Constitution. Of course, I favor the Constitution when things are good, too. But it may be something our country should focus on now, as a last resort. Just my opinion.
