Repug senators are counting on the ignorance of voters.

[trof]

They keep harping on 'impeaching a president who is out of office'.
They know many (most?) Americans think impeachment is what the senate is doing now.
They don't understand that impeachment is just bringing charges.
They don't understand that he was president when he was impeached.

IMHO the constitution is quite clear on this , but it escapes many.
That's what the enablers are counting on.

1. They know that's a lie. They just love misleading their sheep

[Iliyah]

2. I think the racist that attacked the Capitol Building . ..

a lot of them feel betrayed by shithole and some are coming sorta back to a semi-reality which should alarm the republicans.

3. The media is not helping in clarifying the situation

4. They Are On Solid Ground

Never Overestimate the Intelligence of the American public.

10. H. L. Mencken: "Nobody ever went broke...

...underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

5. Right and they won't be disappointed.

Or, likely suffer any consequences for doing so.

6. Their voters are ignorant.

It goes hand in hand with voting republican.

7. If the news of a meeting between some GOP Senators and Trump's team are correct

They are worried that many of their voters (or financial backers) became well-informed bybghe House Managers.

8. It's worth remembering the GQP

Is working with an ever shrinking constituency. With any luck, their BS will drive more away from the party of Trump.

9. Their sheep may be very forgetful. We Dems 7+ million more of us than them are too woke

To forgive or forget

11. That is a pretty good bet nt
