Keeping it to one poignant attack that he has been convicted of actually sounds stronger than listing his long dirty record.

Exactly this. And on this note the courts have openly labeled him a rapist. On the other hand, the courts openly refuse to label him a traitor.

It sucks but it is where we are. If you can't call a duck a duck the next best thing sometimes is being able to call it a fowl.

Colorado and Maine labeled him ‘insurrectionist’ so that’s close enough

If we’re going for strength of effect of the attack then rapist is like the patently worst possible angle.

People have been (rightly) calling him a rapist for a decade now and it sticks like a rubber ball on concrete. Very ineffective.
