This vote is not a defeat. It is a perfect opportunity to highlight in unambiguous terms that the Republican Party is devoted not to the country,America and its interests, but they are in service to A Con. A Lie. And a Liar.
If we cannot make this case, then yes the game is over.

The Republicans overreached. It is imperative to recognize they were not voting *for Trump* they voted for their survival as a party.

With sharp decisive strategic moves this can be turned into a rout. This is Napoleon attacking Russia in the winter.
The defeat is in the move.

Let’s not do the standard democratic move and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

There are so many metaphors and examples in analogies to be brought to bear. This is not the time to admit defeat.
That would be to give them the victory.

Remember how many senators wanted to

vote against Trump, (had it been a private vote) but were too cowardly to pull it off publically. They must be forced to give account for their vote; their reasoning; what facts or points did they ignore or think in error to arrive at their judgement.

Don't stop at the vote

Remember the majority of Americans recognize who Trump is and wanted him convicted. Including Republicans.

Just these facts are sufficient to change the narrative.

The Republicans, the @GOPSenate need to be highlighted right now with this dissonance between the party

& the citizenry while it is at its most open wound maximum.

The Republicans need to be irrevocably exposed as being in service to a ConMan A Lie A Liar.
Recognize the @GOPSenate was never going to convict Trump.
Think strategically.
Think next move.
Consider the total context.

So use the trial for what it can be used for:
> To unequivocally establish the facts of the case
> To require the Senate & Republicans to declare themselves

This has been done.
Now let’s use this. https://twitter.com/mhbx/status/1360302619873349635?s=20
