Trump will eventually learn to shut up. He hasn't yet. But this action by E Jean Carroll (and her attorney) is a significant step. When Trump loses in court, if he continues that same action - there will be MORE punishment. Eventually that toddler will learn. This is a good step Image
THANK YOU everybody who read, commented and retweeted this Tweet. Among replies to the Tweet, the overwhelming sentiment is 'Trump is incapable of learning'. I will respond here to that with short Thread for you...

I agree it SEEMS Trump is incapable of learning BUT
BUT when you look at Trump history, you see he is incredibly cheap, miserly, and watches every penny (because he never was a Billionaire, he is a Debtonaire, owes a world record in personal debt). Once he has to PAY E Jean Carroll the first 5 million, he will change. Before...

REALITY CHECK

Trump is not the problem. He is a symptom
TRUMPISM is the problem (aka Maga). Trump did not create Trumpism. Fox created this cult

If Trump is gone but Trumpism remains = we get MORE Trumps. In fact, we get WORSE Trumps (like DeSantis)

We HAVE TO DEFEAT TRUMPISM Image
You CANNOT reason with the Maganutters (aka #Cult45). It is IMPOSSIBLE

Because they are BRAINWASHED. They cannot rediscover reality. It is pointless to engage any Maga in honest discussion or debate. They are IMMUNE TO FACTS

You cannot help them get back to reality. Image
Trump has made himself UNELECTABLE (in the General election). But because the large share of Maganutters (#Cult45) in GOP - Trump is a LOCK to win the GOP nomination

TRUMPISM must die. The FASTEST way to get Trumpism to die, is for Trump to be humiliated in 2024 election. Image

THREAD ON FIXING FOX 1/

Let's do a Thread as Dominion lawsuit is settled. Fox pays enormous $787 million dollar compensation for LYING ON AIR, and admits in public they did so. But this was never about #FixFox. That will come LATER

This is BONUS VICTORY for Team Blue. Read on.. Image
Thread On Fixing Fox 2/

Trump was CREATED by Fox. Fox can create the next Trump (Death Santis is their current project). Fox is a dangerous brainwashing monster, taking advantage of US media protection, and owned by that evil Australian bastard Rupert Murdoch. We need to #FixFox Image
Thread On Fixing Fox 3/

Trump OUTGREW Fox. Today Trump is their Frankenstein's Monster who cannot be controlled. This Dominion settlement today, is a STUPID mistake by Fox. They had no 'need' to get involved in Trump's absurd likes about election fraud in 2020 run by Giuliani Image

Who wants math?

(On Election Day? Nooo!)

Of COURSE on election day we do math, or as they say in Georgia Republican circles: on Erection Day

We can now tabulate the Trump Effect

(Really, T Dawg? TELL US)

You gonna like this.. lets get out our pocket calculators & slide rules
During 2022 Midterm Elections we had a few states where we can isolate the Trump Effect to the vote. Based on that math, we can calculate the universal Trump effect that actually matters now in ALL states, and ALL elections (if any candidates embrace Trump) ie going into 2024
We need an apples-to-apples comparison.

A Republican Senator candidate who was NOT the incumbent, AND campaigned with Trump

Running in State that ALSO had Governor election. And that Gov candidate did NOT campaign with Trump

We can CALCULATE the Delta, ie the Difference!

BTW what does a 'recovered' conservative party look like?

Remember this dude? VERY easy answer: What would John McCain do?

Voted NOT to end Obamacare. Stood against Putin. Stood for decency. Worked on an immigration compromise

Yes, a conservative. But sane. A 'never Trumper' Image
The easy answer to when we know that the conservative movement has been cured of its magadisease is, that we can imagine John McCain fully supporting that party

A cured GOP will not fight war against women (abortion, codify Roe vs Wade) ie no longer hostage to religious nutters Image
A cured conservative party will kick out the Nazis, condemn all white supremacists and LEAD the fight to race equality. Try to become the party of choice for all minorities (so yes, 180 degree turn from today)

That means yes, banning red magahats & the confederate flag Image

Trump 2024 Thread 1/

Ok, Trump announced (as I said, he will run). Let's do the 'definitive' Thread on Trump 2024 campaign

Trump 2024 Thread 2/

FIRST NOMINATION FIGHT

Do not think like a Democrat! Do NOT bring sanity into this discussion

Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020. By 2020, 7 million people voted against Trump

Trump lost GOP the House in 2018, White House in 2020, Senate in 2021 Image
Trump 2024 Thread 3/

When Trump was voted out in 2020, he got 47% of the vote. After that he launched January 6th against America in 2021. Then he was caught in massive espionage in 2022

In the midterms, of Americans who voted, Trump approval was 39%

He is UNELECTABLE. Image

We lost the fight

So I'll become
Some background noise
I'll stay away
From girls and boys
They all do know
They laugh and stare
My Magahat

It was too plain
I did not care

We wore his hat
It gave no power
The stench remains
Our lowest hour

Good discussion via RT @hilde45 & @Teri_Kanefield

This is what happened. Mitt Romney lost in 2012 and did a proper analysis of what went wrong. It is called an autopsy

It found GOP was on wrong track (demographically) and HAD to change. 3 main areas:

Women
Minorities
Youth Image
So it is like Doctor's visit and Doctor said what the patient HAD to do. Instead, GOP went on a kegger

For 2016 they nominated a PUSSY-GRABBER and RACIST (old white dude also out of line with youth)

For 2016 Trump DAMAGED the GOP on ALL THREE of those demographics Image
Romney lost the 2012 popular vote & got 47% of the vote

By 2016 Trump did worse, got 46% of popular vote, but by FLUKE of Electoral College, even though Hillary received 3 million more votes than Trump, Trump became President. This gave ILLUSION this mad startegy works for GOP Image

This is a massive win for Democrats. We kept the Senate, in the first midterms after one party took the White House. This cycle should have been devastating against us

Two big keys: Trump got involved, & reaction to Roe vs Wade. But also great politics by DEM

I will do a Thread
So understand. We were SUPPOSED TO LOSE

In nearly every cycle in as far as anyone can remember, the party who took the White House, loses in the next midterms (exception was 2002 because of Osama Bin Laden terrorist attack on Sept 11 & wave of patriotism cancelled this pattern)
If we had lost the Senate, not only would Joe Biden's agenda be dead for the next 2 years, GOP would have run all sorts of nastiness, forcing Biden to veto nearly everything - weakening Biden for 2024

And worse: the Teenage Mutant Mitch McTurtle would have controlled judges

How's the election result?

SUPER TIGHT result. Was supposed to be a blow-out. The PATTERN for first midterms after party takes White House is from 40 to 60 bloodbath in Congress. That is the pattern we should have seen. But there was NO RED WAVE

It is razor-thin, can go either Image
In Senate the Georgia race goes into a run-off. Senator Warnock won his first runoff. He got more votes against the Fake Cop Herschel Walker. This is FAVORED to go our way. We won't know until Dec, but if we hold Georgia, we hold Senate. So Trump wiped Mitch McConnell out - again Image
The Nevada vote count is not finished and we have a good shot at Senator Catherine Cortez Masto still winning re-election in the Nevada race. In that case Georgia runoff will not even matter

We cannot call the Senate yet. But we have significantly better chance of holding it Image

A few thoughts on Trump likely return to Twitter now that Elon Musk runs this place

Let's not cry over spilled milk. Twitter is likely going to change & to many Elon's changes will make Twitter seem worse. But that is life. It is still by far the most powerful platform for us
Assuming Trump returns... what would that do?

#LetTrumpBeTrump

Yes. Let Trump Be Trump!

He cannot damage us. In four years - as President - on Twitter, Trump did not get Speaker Pelosi to lose. DEMs picked up seats BOTH election cycles 2018 & 2020

Same in Senate. Trump LOST
As to Trump being able to use Twitter to his own power. He lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016 by 3 million votes. He lost to President Joe Biden in 2020 by 7 million votes. This was before his suspension. That's how bad Trump is at using Twitter to an advantage

Let Trump Be Trump Thread 1/

The Former Guy held a Magarally in Ohio yesterday. He is moving ever closer to genuine Nazi rallies. Do we care? Actually yes we do. It is the Republicans who are terrified. If you support US democracy in general or Team Blue, we say

Let Trump Be Trump Thread 2/

Some on our side, & some relatively neutral politicallym are horrified by what Trump is doing. I want to write this Thread so all of my Tweeps understand, this is HEALTHY. Trump is now damaging ONLY the Republicans, and is helping bring end to Maga
Let Trump Be Trump Thread 3/

Let us first understand political reality. Trump is a FRINGE politician WITHOUT national appeal. He CANNOT win again in a national election. His political VIABILITY is kaput

It is REPUBLICANS who are worried about Trump. We want to #LetTrumpBeTrump

As I've been Trump is addicted to the rallies RT @duty2warn

If Trump was a normal person, we'd say he was desperate & flailing tonight. But a more accurate assessment, given his psychopathology, is that he had suffered serious narcissistic injury. This rally was oxygen. A drug.
So for many years I've been saying Trump is addicted to the rallies. And meant it in the clinical medical definition of 'addiction'. Like someone addicted to cigarette smoking. Trump is physically unable to stop holding his rallies even if he wanted to.
Trump was the only sitting President who never stopped holding rallies in first years since last election, to focus on governing, and only start political rallies in summer of 4th year, the year of re-election

Note - BIDEN after Trump has returned to that normal form

Yes. But it is a drip-drip-drip

Jan 6th will help. But still trickle away from Maga

Anyone who figures out they were conned, will never again vote Trump or Maga

Some will never donate to GOP again

Some will never vote GOP

Some will stop voting

Some will vote against GOP
So the NUMBERS are now small, out of Maga base. But there is steady (but tiny) erosion away

This means a continuously shrinking Maga voter & supporter base

There is NO TREND the OTHER WAY. None of our Democrat voters or IND look at Jan 6th, and think: That is what I want..
Then recognize the LASTING damage

Anyone who gets out of Magacult will never go back in. But long after Trump is gone, some keep coming out, and none go in

This damages GOP far far FAR beyond Trump being viable in politics

Lastly Fox... #FixFox

If GOP had been sane, they would have kicked out the racist-sexist Nazi wing of the party, latest into 2016 cycle when the Nazis embraced Trumpo

Back then they would have suffered a few election cycles but the Nazis would be their own independent party with 20% of Congress today
A centrist-oriented Conservative party would be a party of Women's rights (kick out the abortion-nutters) & party of equal rights (traditionally favorite of black voters, & great opportunity for Latino voters). And then become party business, low taxes & science (climate change?)
THAT kind of centrist conservative party would be the natural home for some of our sick Democrats like Senators Manchin and Sinema. The correct home for those like once-democrat Lieberman was. And the Democrat party could shift more to the left as it wants..

It is VERY slow, but cracks are forming and SOME who were die hard maga cultists, are breaking out or becoming, at least 'truth-curious'.

If they are your friends or family, be VERY gentle, they WANT to rediscover reality, but they are in a fragile state

Don't blame them :-)
Politically speaking, Trump held 70% of the Republican party. That number has been dwindling but he still holds far more than 50% today. During Trump's time, part of long term Republicans LEFT the party

Now when any Maga rediscover reality, they will HATE Trump & Trumpism
So the political train is a one-way track to a dead end

There are no independent or Democratic voters who SWITCH to Trump or Trumpism or Maga now. No new blood going in

But a regular trickle of Maga who abandon Trump to rediscover reality. They will NEVER GO BACK to the #cult45

We happy with the Jan 6th Hearings? Was worth the wait? Gosh these guys are good. Time flies, riveting testimony and no idiot clowns like Gym Jordan to mess it all up every 5 minutes

Remember it is not a criminal trial. This Cttee sets historical record on Trump attempted coup
Criminally, what Cttee does, is exposes SELECTED top criminals & their crimes. All of those will go to prison including Trump of course, but in due time, through Dept of Justice

Politically, this brands Trump & Maga unelectable for voters in MIDDLE. It helps cure America of maga
These hearings are the START of a long journey for the Republican party, that had they been smart, they would have started with Impeachment 2 like Romney & Liz Cheney etc wanted then

Fox will come around, they will eventually bail on Trump. That is when Maga starts to die out.
