(I'm gonna keep new Trumpshit consolidated here for now) but most or all Trump's impeachment defense team just quit.

Reportedly, Trump wanted to use the Senate trial to continue amplifying his claim that the election was stolen.

Classic Trump: When on trial for incitement of violence based on election fraud lies, double down and incite more insurrection.

Now that the GOP Senators have signaled their intent to acquit via declaring post-office impeachments "unconstitutional" (spoiler: they ain't), Trump is now free to target his radical base once again with fact-free messaging.

Case in point: Trump called Majorie dumbfuck-Greene yesterday to tell her he supports what she is doing. Which, to clarify, is lying about anything important, encouraging violence, and propagating racist bullshit.

This is far from over, guys. Any attempts at legally holding these people to account will be used to radicalize their voting base.

What do we do? I recently thought we could lampoon them with comedy, but they don't understand comedy. Urging unity with fascists and fascist enablers? They watched their potential "come to god" moment go flying by, and showed no interest. So uhhhh no thanks.

It has to be a mass grassroots targeting of Trump's voting base, because the leaders are beyond hopeless. How do we do it??

Nonviolent approaches only.
