If the extent of his crimes pertaining to the 2016 campaign/election and the vulnerabilities of our *election system* that paved the way for his installation aren’t on the public record or actively being mitigated by legislation, how won’t 2020 be just as fucked up as 2016? 🤷🏾♀️
People act like the cyberattack never happened and we haven’t already been told voter databases in multiple states were compromised and that something meaningful is actually being done to fix it between now and November 2020, despite all evidence to the contrary.
Mueller dedicated a large piece of his investigation specifically to election security & foreign interference but Congress still doesn’t have the unredacted report even though he punted the entire issue plus any/all legal consequences for Trump to them. Has that been forgotten?
We already know Bitch McConnell has no intention of putting a robust election security bill up for a vote in the Senate and he most certainly doesn’t wanna fix the problem that won his party control of all 3 branches of govt, so why wouldn’t we use impeachment against him too?
I don’t get why we wouldn’t purposefully use revelations about the election system brought to light in impeachment proceedings against the complicit crooks who engineered it, if #MoscowMitch is sticking as well as it is why not capitalize on it by tying him to the cyberattack?
Pressure needs to be applied to the GOP not just in regards to their enabling of a racist sociopath traitor, but their assault on voting rights and their refusal to secure the election system in light of thoroughly documented Russian interference. The whole party is COMPLICIT.

The thing that’s always struck me about this (not only as a Black woman but also as a psychiatrist IRL who’s literally tasked with helping people cope with stress, illness and the ups & downs of life) is the Black woman savior complex of it all. It’s subconscious but ubiquitous.
As with many things in America, I also think it’s yet another sociological phenomenon brought to us by slavery. A lot of White family systems fell apart (continue to) without the presence of a Mammy or some form of matriarchal Black help in the home. jstor.org/stable/2714687
Except for all intents/purposes, VA *was* TX not too long ago. The 2021 Gubernatorial election set back over a decade of hard-won progress by VA Democrats. It can happen in ANY historically or recently “blue” state at the drop of a dime, if enough White voters DEFECT/vote GOP. 🥴
The other thing to remember is #WeTriedToTellThem ALL of this shit was gonna happen (all over again) but HELL NO. This is yet another consequence of MAGAts who have both a death wish and outsized influence on every single public/private system in 🇺🇸 running the asylum. 🤡👹👺🦊
Adding this here b/c it’s really important that we also recognize how the toxic/violent masculinization of GOP women voters also extends to #MAGAWoman elected officials. They’ve created an army of Ashli Babbitts who aid/abet the radicalization of their menfolk & themselves. 👹🤡
By now we’ve seen too many GOP/GOP adjacent mothers/wives/girlfriends either completely “overlook” the extremism in their midst or actively enable and facilitate the obstinance/defiance and evasion of consequences that leads to White, right wing domestic terrorism. #VanillaISIS
The thing that really chaps my hide about it is I’ve heard Republicans vilify Black family values & label us criminals/social deviants my whole life, yet here they are breeding & grooming the most PROLIFIC White domestic terrorists America’s ever seen and the NARRATIVE is SILENT.
