"People are really hurting. They need someone who actually shows they care and who doesn't normalize authoritarianism. Biden aside, the big story is the losses in the House and the backlash against failed leadership." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation

"Guess who did expand their presence in the House? The squad, the progressive wing. That's because they're actually having meaningful conversations with the public. Meanwhile Pelosi is shrinking her own party's support." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/final-co…
"Look at Max Rose. He runs on accountability in 2018 and then comes out in 2019 against impeaching the most impeachable POTUS ever. What kind of message does that send? He killed his race with that position. He lost." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/final-co…
"We need Dems who will say things like 'It's time to abolish the electoral college, a monument to slavery'. If Dems take strong moral positions, people respond. What drove the 2018 blue wave was a demand for accountability." -- @AndreaChalupa @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/final-co…
"In 2018, voters showed up for accountability. And what did they get? Pelosi immediately saying that impeachment is not worth it. That mattered; we warned what a disaster this would be for Pelosi in 2020. We were right." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/final-co…
"Instead of pursuing accountability and moving to impeach Trump, Pelosi unleashed a troll army that screamed she was 'playing 4D chess' and people had to 'trust the plan'. It was like Centrist Democrat QAnon." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/final-co…
"If Pelosi "wanted* to lose, I can't think what she would have done differently. She squandered the blue wave. She fractured Dem party unity. She killed any attempt at accountability and blocked other House members from using the tools at their disposal." patreon.com/posts/final-co…
"The greatest threat to democracy is Trump and the crime syndicate backing him. The second greatest threat is McConnell and the criminal GOP. The third greatest threat is Pelosi and her little group of Vichy Democrats. Pelosi must be removed as Speaker." patreon.com/posts/final-co…

"Look at what Trump's goons did to the postal service. Look at how blatant they were at voter suppression. Why would they not also hack electronic election results when they knew they wouldn't get caught?" -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation
patreon.com/posts/final-co…
"If an election is close, it's easy to steal. You just change a little bit here and there. We never had an audit of 2016 and it took Reality Winner going to prison to expose how widespread election hacking was." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/final-co…
"We did not have a popular movement to secure our elections, even though experts confirmed our elections remained deeply vulnerable. It was considered a controversial issue on the left and many wouldn't discuss it." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/final-co…

"It's very clear that Trump wants the courts to decide the election. He does not want the American people to decide it. You're already seeing Kavanaugh citing Bush vs Gore. You have three people from that case now appointed to SCOTUS." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…
"We know what the short-term goal is: tyranny of the minority. A one-party, autocratic state ruled by a white supremacist death cult. People used to think us saying 'death cult' was alarmist. Now they don't after the covid response." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…
"Their covid policy was 'Let them die off' and that's the guiding ethos of this admin and its backers. They want to make money and consolidate power, and our very existence is inconvenient to them, esp in the era of climate change." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…

"The US was founded on fascism: slavery, Native American genocide. Our hope was always to move away from pre-existing fascism. All black and brown progress has historically been met with the violence of white rage." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation

"America has gotten its moments of glory from good people doing the right thing against fascism. The best of us are the ones who punch nazis; the worst of us are the ones who choose to *be* nazis." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation

"If you want solace in America's current climate of fascism, let it be this: there are now more of us than there are of them. And the fascists are terrified. They build armaments because they know they're in the final chapter of fascism." -- @AndreaChalupa patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…

"Our claim that Trump is an illegitimate POTUS is not about sour grapes; it's about national security. He's illegitimate because he is a Kremlin asset backed by organized crime who used illegal tactics and illegal aid to get into office." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…
"The refusal to admit that the 2016 election may have been illegitimate -- even though many warned in advance about election security threats -- is what allowed Trump to remain in power. Institutions wouldn't admit to their own failures." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…
"The longer this charade went on, the longer this disregard for national security went on, the harder it became to reverse. That's why autocrats must be removed immediately, because they'll rewrite laws and pack courts to stay in power." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…

"ACB is tied to a far-right cult known for making wives subservient to husbands, a cult accused of sexual abuse. Patriarchy is a tool of fascism. Fascism is about blunt-force strength; the dictator as father figure." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…
"Dictatorship controls your emotional life so that you obey without the state or police forcing you to obey. You self-censor and pre-surrender. Patriarchy is an essential part of controlling a person's body and mind." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…
"This is a trashy, Panama City Beach spring break, girls and boys gone wild Supreme Court. This is a Florida Man and Florida Woman Supreme Court. Republicans have grossly cheapened the highest court in the land." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mitch-mc…
