There very well could be a censure of Trump in conjunction with section 3 of the 14th Amendment (which would prevent him from running for office again). This would only require a few of the seven Republicans who voted to convict regarding impeachment to vote to censure. This strategy is actually politically possible and I am periodically updating it as events evolve in The War After the Election [https://medium.com/illumination-curated/the-war-after-the-election-545de96aa4ca?sk=627c55d616d9296af3e398f1686493a4].

Strong conservative voices from both inside and outside the Republican Party need to rise above the bigotry Trump so deftly manipulated. Leaders should be educating and leading their followers, not the other way around. And if this occurs, some of the very legitimate anti-government anger of Trump’s more persuadable voters could dissipate and move away from Trump and towards the Republican Party or whatever replaces it.

Beyond that, it will be necessary to curb presidential powers so that the ability Trump had to bring us to the brink of martial law on January 6 will not be available to any future president. (If you don’t believe we were close to martial law, read The War After the Election. It also contains legislative proposals to prevent a future president from having such powers.)
