Can you impeach a president for not liking his style? Just wondering if this is actually a thing. Because it seems as if this basis is what the "resistance" is going on.

yep.
what you need for impeachment is the political will and the votes to do it.
what you don't need is an actual reason. There is no appeal.
Under "high crimes and misdemeanors", you could technically call his lack of style a "misdemeanor" under the most tenuous reading of the history of maladministration and the impeachment of judges for being drunkards. It is possible, although has never actually been used against a President.
Just need the House Judiciary committee, then a House majority, then 2/3 of the Senate to agree. The 67 Senator thing is a pretty serous check on misuse of the impeachment process. Last 67 seat majority in the Senate was 1965, and assuming a 2018 sweep of Senate elections, the most the Dems can have in Trump's first term would be 52.
If they are going to try and impeach him on "he's a big doo-doo head" charges, they'll need ridiculous majorities that can suffer defections within their own part, as there are a few sane Democrats who would view impeaching a sitting US President on the grounds that you don't like him to be an all time historical low in partisan gamesmanship.
