If you need to explain to a "low information" voter why this impeachment trial exposes all GrOPers

as traitors to the Constitution, the rule of law, their oaths of office, their impeachment trial oaths, etc. and that this is an unprecedented BFD, and you need to do it in one sentence, consider this one:

"In the two century-plus history of the United States, there has NEVER been a Senate impeachment trial -- of ANY position, not just POTUS -- which did not listen to witness testimony until this one."

And Bill Clinton testified under oath in a deposition, and turned over documents, and turned over staff members to testify.

I say it calmly, and without judgement, but it sure does steam them up.

The thing is, these Trumpsters know me, have forever, and they know I am not lying.

"Low information" voter is the perfect description. They watch HATETV and listen to HATERADIO and go to HATEWEBSITES and it is all they know. Speak to them rationally, be ready to back up your facts (because they will say you are lying), and de-escalate if things get heated.
