The Democrats and their allies in the media have been doing just that since before Trump was even inaugurated. They have tried to stymie his presidency since day one.
Agreed. Impeachment inherently is a political process, and it wont be successful unless there is a public consensus around impeachment.
And that's the big problem: the alternative to Trump in 2020 wont be a moderate Democrat.
Let's not forget that even Joe Biden, who is nowadays seen as THE moderate candidate in the Democratic primary, was considered not a moderate but a staunch liberal for most of his political career. It is only in contrast to the recent, massive leftward shift of the Democratic party that Biden appears like a moderate. And let's not even begin with Bernie/Warren/Beto/Castro/Harris...
Being a Liberal isn't very extreme, it is a moderate, middle of the road, ideology. Most of the Democratic party are moderates. Their policies are unchallenging and do not threaten the status quo very much. They don't actually seek to change things significantly at all.

I wasnt just talking about the recent impeachment proceedings, I was also talking about the Mueller investigation and the way it was exploited and spurred by the Democrats in an effort to paint Trump as an illegitimate president who only got into office based on outside interference.
Like I said: the Democrats and their allies in the media did everything in their power to undermine and stymie Trump every step of the way, to prevent him from enacting his agenda as much as possible. Which honestly didnt require all that much effort, given the slim majorities he had in Congress during his first 2 years in office, and given his tendency to dig a new hole for himself every other week.
How is this different from any unloyal opposition in the United States? Spoils system has been around since Andrew Jackson.
