My running theory has been that the Democrats are basically loving Trump's entire existence. They love using the appearance of their #RESISTANCE shit because it gets them boatloads of money and attention from their base. They don't need to resist for real and in fact, if they do, they throw away this money printer because now they have to work. So they didn't want to impeach for something winnable like the emoluments problems, they needed a dragged out impeachment that they could tout as a #RESISTANCE moment and not actually ever win.
Which is why they haven't been taking the brewing attempted coup by Trump seriously whatsoever. One of two things will happen: Trump folds, Democrats take power, and then continue their grift but against McConnell instead while he and Pelosi laugh over champagne every night, or Trump will actually try to take back power in a coup, the Democrats will fold out of "keeping national unity and stability in these trying times", and rev up the #RESISTANCE machine harder.
