Appealing to the fringe might not necessarily be helpful with Republicans down ballot out-performing Trump and the outcome in the Georgia Senate run offs showing Democrats better at turning out the vote.

I appreciate that people feel the need to impeach Trump to set a precedent for future presidents who may be tempted to do anything similar. This is a worthy aim. But tactically for the Democrats, disqualifying Trump for 2024 would remove the Trump non-Trump division in the Republican Party and making it more united and stronger party.
