Make no mistake: the GOP is not a "conservative" party.
It is a party led by a fascist plotting an ongoing assault on our Republic.
Corporate Dems put Trump in office. We can't trust them to mount "resistance" b/c they support his policies. Thread. /1

Pelosi claims credit for an impeachment process that she:
🧐 refused to initiate for nearly a year, costing lives and sacrificing families, and then
🤫 limited to excuse the President's self-enrichment at public expense, inviting future corruption. /2

This should surprise no one. Pelosi revealed her support for authoritarianism & militarism long ago, by doing so much to enable Bush's wars (if taken at her word) *despite* knowing they were based on lies. /3
On the same day that Pelosi announced the late & limited impeachment charges that overlook Trump's worst crimes, she handed him an outright political victory by supporting his top legislative priority: an intl corporate trade agreement. /4
Some claim the USMCA will better protect worker rights than NAFTA. But neither Trump nor Pelosi have demonstrated concern for worker rights. In fact, both are multi-millionaire landlords born with silver spoons in their mouths. /5
Pelosi also encouraged online censorship in the trade deal.
She tried (and thankfully failed) to exclude legal protections for online speech that protect users from corporate censorship by immunizing tech platforms from liability based on user speech. thehill.com/policy/technol… /6

Pelosi's attack on Section 230 of the CDA is *not* a populist position advancing corporate accountability.
It's authoritarian. It would place users at the mercy of arbitrary companies and incentive them to censor us.
Remember SESTA/FOSTA? /7

Pelosi's support for Trump's policies extends well beyond trade.

#RememberWhenPelosi imposed GOP accounting rules on the House, even before enabling Trump's human rights abuses, and stalling & limiting the impeachment process? /9
Not only did @SpeakerPelosi support Trump's trade agenda, encourage online censorship & enable executive secrecy, she also actively suppresses the goals of organized labor.
