Here's the thing- many experts don't think transformative change is possible until it happens. Countless folks in positions of power told us Georgia wasn't a real battleground- as recently as last fall, but consistently in 2012, 2014, 2016 and throughout the Abrams campaign.
Donald Trump killed officer Brian Sicknick as sure as if he stuck the blows that took the life from him .
And Republicans like @HawleyMO and @tedcruz and @RandPaul are spitting on Officer Sicknick and his family by defending his murderer.
The Trump train is crashing and burning - but will it be enough to convict or minimize his impact? His toxicity lingers. His sycophants took a long time to realize the problem. Nikki Haley is the latest:

I remember the moment I saw Trump's tweet attacking Pence. We were in the chamber as aides were scrambling to bar the doors. Some were sobbing in fear. The mob was outside. Someone yelled out shots had been fired.
I turned to Tim Kaine and said, "Oh my god, he's egging them on."
What we accomplished in Georgia can be replicated in other states through consistent organizing, investing in state parties, and playing the long game towards victory. @gwlauren and I explain in @nytimes: https://t.co/yRRW3b6r5G
The republicans are on trial just as much as Donald is. So far--through their disrespect of the process (Hawley, Paul), ignoring the evidence (Blunt, Scott), and openly meeting with the defense team (Cruz, Graham, Lee)--they're not making a very good case for themselves. #Convict
