What is at stake in the Trump affair is our right to vote and have our vote count. What he attempted to do in 2016 with debatable efficiency but ultimate success was to look at a situation where he could not win, devise or have devised for him a method to corrupt the system and solicit aid to support that corrupt method. To everyone's surprise, it worked.
Your vote, for or against him, was made less legitimate by the influence, bribery, laundered money, propaganda, possible tampering and cover up during the flow into and out of that election. Theose of us that did not vote for Trump had our votes diminished in value by the manipulation of this process. Those of us that did vote for Trump had their vote deligitimized by the same process. This process has cast a shadow over the pro Trump vote, bringing into question the level of propaganda bombarding people, and how many voters were influenced by said propaganda to ultimately vote for Trump when they might not have otherwise. And in question, but not promoted much by the press or acted upon by congress is the legitimacy of the vote count.
This is a core method of fascism, to bring people to act for the benefit of the propagandists and not for the good of the people or of the individual voter.
Certainly not everyone that voted for Trump did so as a result of said manipulation. But the propagandists only needed to shift less than 80 thousand votes out of 140 million votes cast. This in order to win the real game, the Electoal College. There was a 61.4% turnout in 2016. If less than 80,000, less than 0.00572% of the vote, was needed to change to elect Trump, and applied to the targeted states, be they by propaganda or vote count manipulation, at an investment between $375 and $500 a vote, this was was a bargain for the propagandists.
Now that Trump was not held accountable for that corrupting influence in 2016, a plan that well might have not been initiated by Trump himself, but which he certainly did not stop and expose and denounce when said plan was brought to his attention. To quote Joel Benenson, the (Clinton) campaign’s pollster, “a global power is fucking with our elections,” and that “every American should be outraged, whether it changed the outcome or not.” But did the meddling alter the outcome? “How will we ever know?” he said. “We probably won’t, until some Russians involved in it are actually prosecuted—or some Republican, in a moment of conscience, talks.”
Trump did nothing to stop that. And having found both success and a lack of consequences for participating in such corruption, the evidence is clear that he is now openly trying to do it again. Publicly inviting Ukraine and now China to participate in corrupt influence, propaganda, and possibly vote tampering. This is why the President should be removed from office before the 2020 election.
The quality, fairness, and legitimacy of the right to vote in the USA is being eroded. Trump is openly attempting to take the legitimacy of your vote away, be you Democrat, Republican, Green, or Libertarian. As an add on, gerrymandering and other methods to diminish, discourage, and prevent us from voting and the value of that vote are equally corrupt.
For those that value certain rights and amendments over others, I would submit that all rights in the USA have a need to be protected and be balanced among themselves. This event that we are witnessing play out in America is nothing less that the value and legitimacy of our constitution. And no matter who you voted for, if you value your vote and its legitimacy, Donald Trump must be removed from office. Even if he is not the primary instigator of this plan, he is the beneficiary of it, he did nothing to stop it. He gets what he wants along with the propagandists and other interests that benefit from this corruption at the cost of our constitution.
Seeing such corruption, and that he personally benefits from it, he does nothing to denounce or stop it. That is the core reason begging his impeachment and removal. If he is allowed to continue unabate There was a 61.4% turnout in 2016.

If he is allowed to continue unabated through the 2020 elections, our Congress, and our constitution so have been corrupted and diminished.
Therefore he must be removed. Then let him run again in a legitimate electoral system. If he wins a fair, non corrupt, non influenced, non propagandized election, so be it. But what is presenting itself in 2020 is not that. It is a repeat of the illegitimate election of 2016...
