No justification for Trump impeachment

I read with great interest the constant barrage of stories about how Democrats will try and impeach President Donald Trump if they gain power. My question as a Trump voter is: Why?
Not one person advocating impeachment that I've encountered has been able to give me a valid impeachable offense that Trump has committed.
We keep hearing about Russian collusion. After two years, we still have nothing tangible implicating collusion.
Democrats still are talking about demanding to see Trump's tax returns. This is a exercise in futility. Trump is not obligated to release his tax returns. That isn't a law. So, why do people keep this fire burning?
I also read how Democrats will demand investigations if they gain power in Congress. Haven't we had enough frivolous investigations already? And what are they investigating? Feelings hurt by Twitter statements isn't a reason to investigate.
We are embarking on two years in the Trump presidency. I have seen nothing but wins from the Oval Office. Record low unemployment, business confidence at an all time high, blossoming GDP, denuclearization proceedings in the Korean peninsula, and many other victories.
When will Trump haters decide to try and help this country unite instead of trying to break it down? Trump is our President. Get use to it.
