MINI-THREAD on votin'.

1) When Tea Pain goes to vote, he leaves his 1984 Winnebago Brave and takes a 3 minute stroll to the Gizzard Ridge Baptist Church. Since Tea Pain first voted in 1995, there's never been a line.
2) That's most likely because Gizzard Ridge has a population of less than 60 folks. Think about that. 60 folks have a pollin' place all to themselves. Compare that to Houston, Texas, where a county of over 4 million people have to share a single early votin' drop box.
3) When Tea walks through the door, he's always greeted by Irv Pence, Gizzard Ridge's poll manager for the past 42 years. Tea never has to produce a photo ID cause Irv's known Tea since he was a little critter.
4) Unlike in Philadelphia, there's no twitchy team of poll watchers hopin' to find a flaw in Tea's signature from when he first registered 25 years ago.
5) Tea takes his ballot, makes his selections, then hands it back to Irv for safekeepin'. With COVID goin' on, there's no hangin' around outside and chitty-chattin', so Tea's safely back in his Winnebago in less than 15 minutes.
6) Compare that to those folks that wait 8, 9 even 10 hours to vote down in Georgia. Wanna know why that's so? Tea Pain forgot to mention something about those 60 folks that live in Gizzard Ridge. They're all white and they're 90% Republican. Ain't that interestin'?
7) We need to live in a nation where Tea's votin' experience is EVERYBODY'S votin' experience. These folks that spend a whole day in the elements are extreme patriots. Tea Pain tips his shiny hat to each and every one of you! You are the heart and soul of our Democracy.

1) If you believed there was gonna be a terrorist attack at a particular sportin' event, you would definitely not go, right?

That's what Trump is doin' with this election. He tellin' every American 6 weeks in advance he's gonna steal it through the courts.
2) Why is he doin' this, when he has only a tiny chance of this plan succedin'? Why is he leakin' conversations in swing states of replacin' faithful electors with Trump loyalists that will overthrow the will of the people?
3) Crooks, at least smart ones, never reveal their plans ahead of time so the authorities can be prepared for their nefarious acts, so why is Trump shoutin' his maniacal plan from the mountaintop of national television?

One simple reason: Voter Suppression

1) America has 60 days to decide if we restore our once-great democracy or become an oligarchy state.

The GOP is 100% behind Trump because their only hope to hold power is through compromisin' our election with Trump and Russia's help.
2) If you recall what the 2000 election was like, that will be civil and polite in comparison to what we are about to face. There will be no peaceful surrender of power.
3) We've been sayin' "Trump will burn it all down rather than go peacefully", but now we see the entire GOP will burn it down for him.

Tea Pain is sharin' this with you, not to alarm you, but to prepare you for the loomin' reality ahead.

1) Lots of folks seem amazed how Trump can be so incompetent and repulsive, yet the race appear so tight. Tea lives in North Central Arkansas where it's about as MAGA as MAGA gets, but he's been talkin' to a lotta folks around town.
2) When Tea's down at the the Skid Mark, Gizzard Ridge's local (and only) waterin' hole, it's usually packed wall to wall with Trump-smoochers, but Tea's been experiencin' some mighty unusual election season phenomena.
3) Turns out, lots of these Trumpers will say they're votin' for Trump around their other Trump-lovin' friends, but when they's alone with Tea Pain, they tell another story.

Seems most of 'em are embarrassed and emotionally wrung out from 4 years of non-stop Trumpiness.

1) MAGA are drawn to Trump by two primary motivations: racism and power, and these two are inseparably linked. Their racism is fueled primarily by fear of minorities and their desperate quest for power is to find control in a world where white rule is crumblin'.
2) Normal, decent Americans witness Trump's lawlessness and are repulsed by his blatant disregard for the rule of law, but MAGA responds with awe and admiration. For them, it's not about right or wrong, but about power, because if you are not subject to law, you are powerful.
3) MAGA's white-grievance mantras are fueled primarily by government's intervention into their White Rule Fantasyland. The Civil Rights act, in their opinion, is government at it's worst, givin' equal rights to people they consider to be their genetic inferiors.

Think for a minute. If you were a corrupt, immoral president miles behind in the polls, what's your best plan for stealin' an election?

1) Force all kids back in school to exacerbate an already out-of-control pandemic that will scare reasonable people away from the polls.
2) Then install a lackey as Postmaster General that can delay and void millions of mail-in-ballots in key swing states.
3) Then use your corrupt, lawless Attorney General to gen up a bogus investigation against Joe Biden as an "October Surprise."

MINI-THREAD:

1) Tea Pain's lived a long time and seen a lot of things, but there's something different about the #GeorgeFloyd case. Despite it's obvious and overt display of police brutality, there still something more, something that has moved a nation.
2) Tea Pain believes the answer lies in the fact that America, particularly people of color, have witnessed our country move backwards to 1950's levels race relations as white supremacists walk our streets and flaunt their racism with impunity.
3) Tragically, chief among their enablers is the President of United States. Minorities recognize correctly that if they don't take a stand now, they will swallowed up in the Trumpist movement to all-white rule.
