"The Dems" is a very broad brush here.
I don't recall anyone of note calling from Trump's impeachment before he had done anything for which he could be impeached. Did some movie stars/celebrities make such statements? Certainly there were people who recognized he would be a bad president and do impeachable things.
Then Trump was actually impeached for impeachable offenses, and that what keeps getting lost on the Trump side--his contempt for rule of law.
The scandal is not that people wanted, rightly, to impeach him for impeachable behavior, but that his party denied that accounting.
