"There were long periods in the Trump admin where we had no Sec of Defense. We only had 'acting' officials to dodge oversight. Esper stepped down saying he won't be Trump's 'yes-man'. Esper's not a good guy, so you have to think -- what *wouldn't* he do?" patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"Trump is surrounded by Iran war-mongers including rapture fiend Mike Pompeo, who is planning to meet with Netanyahu. Netanyahu is an indicted PM who Israelis have been protesting for twenty weeks. Trump and Netanyahu are both imperiled." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"I'm worried about war in Iran. I'm also worried about arms sales, and if Trump and his cohort are selling them, where they're going. Trump has a long history with illegal arms traders and is tied to the world's most dangerous mobsters." -- @gaslitnation

"Trump has a tremendous amount of debt. While in office, he and Kushner have made illicit foreign deals to pay off that debt. There are no limits to what they will do now. Never forget that this is the mafia." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"Another big concern regarding Trump's new military obsession is what @leahmcelrath calls 'annihilatory rage'. As a narcissistic sociopath, Trump will not be able to handle losing and will lash out in violent, frightening ways." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"Trump has been obsessed with nuclear weapons his entire life. He is a fatalist who believes the world will end in nuclear annihilation. He's said, 'If we have nukes, why not use them?' And he's the only American who can launch a nuke." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"You know how old folks have a bucket list of things they want to do before they die, like 'I wanna go sky-diving' or 'I want to go to Europe'? Launching a nuke may be Trump's bucket list wish. He has 70 days left until he can't do it." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"When Biden gets into office*, Congress needs to pass the bill Ted Lieu proposed preventing any president from having the unilateral ability to launch a nuclear weapon." -- @gaslitnation

* spare me the "Dont you mean *if* Biden gets in" takes, please

"There are debates about 'How do we talk about the coup?' You of course don't want to legitimize the coup. Biden is president-elect. He should carry on as president-elect and speak to the public about the issues that affect our lives." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"We should act like Biden is the president-elect, because he is. But we also need to say outright that this is an attempted coup. This is the GOP backed by a transnational crime syndicate attempting to create a one-party autocratic state." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"This has been in play for years. It was a coup in 2016 and it's a coup now. The more the GOP try to coup it out, the more they establish their brand as dictators. Maybe those slow media folks in the back finally get it." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…

"People who lived in countries that endured war or occupation said that the US celebrations last weekend over Trump's loss reminded them of what they witnessed when their own dictator or occupier was finally defeated." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"It was the relief of tyranny collapsing and the iron grip of a dictator letting go. The problem of course is that it hasn't let go. We've got 70 days until inauguration and we're going through an attempted coup." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…
"That energy you felt over the weekend, that sense of possibility returning -- hold on to that. You're going to need that strength and that vision of the future to propel you forward for the next two months." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/klown-ka…

The same people who said "It can't happen here" and then "No one could have seen it coming" will now say "It wasn't really that bad." It was. Do not let anyone rewrite the history of the Trump admin years. History must be remembered to ensure it does not repeat.
One reason Trump got into office was denial or ignorance of history -- how fascism rises, the emergence of far-right movements globally in the 21st century, and especially the selective autocracy always practiced against marginalized racial and ethnic groups throughout US history
Forget this history at your own peril -- and at the peril of the world. We have defeated an aspiring autocrat at the polls. We have not dismantled the corrupt conditions that made him possible and that will make successors possible. Trump was a culmination, not a fluke.

"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

"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…

"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
patreon.com/posts/final-co…
"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…
