"The fragility of the US election system is shown in how much it relies on individual actors -- and how those actors can be threatened into complicity or cultivated as enablers. We see this in Emily Murphy, who is blocking the transition." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
"Trump was mentored by mafia lawyer and GOP operative Roy Cohn, who famously said: 'I don't want to know what the law is; I want to know who the judge is.' Trump's team applies that tactic not just to judges but all civil servants." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
"It's frustrating that many officials put protocol first when the Trump team annihilated protocol. Protocol isn't law and you can't go by the book when the book is burning. Officials have to bulldoze past Trump and prioritize the public." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
"The political crisis created a humanitarian crisis. This was inevitable. We've been in a constitutional crisis since 2016. Our institutions failed us by normalizing that crisis. And now over a quarter of a million people are dead." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
"Emily Murphy is the bureaucratic product of a larger authoritarian system that Trump established to protect himself and his family. So they can live above the law and turn the US into a kleptocracy." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
"As the clock ticks down, Trump is keenly aware that his chance at procuring an illegal second term rests on individuals: how to break them, how to bend them, how to bribe them." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
