I think a failure to convict will actually be the last straw.
How about a failure to even impeach? I realize that almost everyone recognizes how disturbing all of this is getting to be. If we normalize Trump's actions, in any way whatsoever, that is forever. There is no reset from there. And any man or woman who occupies the Oval Office in the future and chooses to use 'Trump-tactics' against their political adversary will be free to do so.
Not to mention turn most of civil society into a pack of vultures who would sell their own mother or their own baby in return for political gain right down to streetcorner level, and that's because once we've abandoned what Trump cultists hate most about ourselves, we become no different than members of a street gang or a cartel. The whole goddamn country would turn into a cartel, in our minds, our way of thinking, our way of relating to each other, the entire personality of America dies and is reborn as a pure kleptocracy.
If the President, any president, is excused for behaving like a gang member, then we are all gang members. Somewhere between Idiocracy, Walking Dead and The Postman, there is a fate that awaits us. If we normalize and admit and tolerate these things, then the plot of The Postman changes to where General Bethlehem wins.
