      This has been the pattern since 2015: Trump says or does something terrible (insults vet family, Access Hollywood tape, incites attack on congress), GOP elite momentarily panics and backs away from them, GOP elite sees party base still loves Trump, GOP elite supports Trump againhttps://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1353037750606430213 …

      After the Capitol siege, Republicans were shaken and open to self-reflection. That window has closed. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/republicans-impeachment-trump-mcconnell-civil-war-insurrection.html …

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Jonathan Chait

      This is why, by the way, Democrats should have pushed for an impeachment immediately after the attack and pushed GOP Senators to say how they stand then. The longer it fades into memory, the better for Trump.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1353037750606430213 …

          I hope they show video clips of the attack at the impeachment trial. That'll jog their memories, and either get them to do what's right or be branded as bigger hypocrites than they currently are.

          you have like 24 hours, 48 at the outside, before both the elites and the base dose up with right-wing media and convince themselves it's all the libs' fault

          This. The moment the right-wing media figures out what their narrative is then they will all fall in line.

          You are assuming the State of New York does nothing between now and February.

          But witnesses this time? And video? It’s not a transcript of a phone call.

          Any course of action that the Leadership chooses is automatically assumed to have been the best or least bad. And if it fails then it must be assumed that any other course of action would have also failed. This is lunacy but millions of Dems believe it.

          Especially fun when it turns out to be a complete, demonstrable lie. We couldn't use reconciliation to get an ACA with a public option because the ACA supposedly couldn't pass under reconciliation. Then we lost a seat and gee! Turned out it can.

          Don't you think the factual record is going to get uglier as time passes to trial?

          I guess the right isn't so bothered by facts. But I suspect public outrage could grow as we learn more about the riot
