You know what would actually unite this country? An end to elite criminal impunity.

I'm serious. This is a unifying issue. (Except for, of course, the criminal elites.)
We're not only seeing the same crimes, we're seeing the *exact same criminals and enablers* getting away with them again and again due to our failed and corrupt institutions. That's the topic of HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:
hidinginplainsightbook.com
Elite criminal impunity is truly a non-partisan crisis. No one wanted to see child rape traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell roam free; or the mass murdering Sackler family get a slap on the wrist. People want to be protected from their crimes. And we want the truth.
Trump is a symptom of the broader disease of elite criminal impunity. The lines between corporate crime, organized crime, and state crime have blurred -- and ordinary Americans suffer as a result. There must be a gutting of endemic corruption for the US to truly move forward.

"These calls for unity are so facile. They never say on what premise unity should be based. It's like when they tell us to have trust in institutions purely for the sake of trust, even though that trust has proven to be without merit." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/breitbar…
"We need honesty over unity and justice over peace. Whatever unity flows from that will be a true unity. That's another reason to go after elite criminal impunity; it's a system that Americans across the political spectrum detest." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/breitbar…
"Our country is not bifurcated; there's not a Trump side and a Biden side. There's a massive grey area filled with people who don't fit into neat little political boxes. We share disillusionment; it's the main mood of this country." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/breitbar…

"The crisis that will emerge if the Trump crime cohort is not prosecuted does not have to do solely with Trump, but with elite criminal impunity as the guiding force of US politics -- destroying our country more every year." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/breitbar…
"For four decades, we have not only seen the same crimes carried out, but the same criminals committing or enabling them -- because they were not held accountable the first time. Manafort, Stone, Trump are all examples of this phenomenon." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/breitbar…
"The US operates according to mafia dynasty politics, where entire families are deemed above the law. This is a vile and unsustainable situation, and ignoring it is what gave us our current crisis." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/breitbar…

"Trump and his backers are threatening public officials, including the Georgia Secretary of State, in an attempt to get Trump an illegal second term. Don't play it down: this is what an attempted coup looks like in a mafia state." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
"Under Trump, we have had an endless array of death threats toward public servants including representatives, judges, juries, whistleblowers, witnesses, journalists. It is a culture of threat that no one in power tries seriously to stop." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
"Whatever inclination Biden has to 'move forward' and ignore the crimes of Trump's cohort -- it's impossible. Immoral and impossible. Even if Trump goes, the mafia culture of threat will remain, and it will target the Biden admin too." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…

"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…

"We are still under an attempted coup. He won't concede, public officials are being threatened, he blocked the transition. Don't sugarcoat it. Every coup reflects its own cultural and political context. This is an American attempted coup." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
"What Trump is doing, by blocking Biden's team from doing critical work during a pandemic, is mass murder. Doctors Without Borders -- which works in war zones, refugee camps -- is now in the US. It's a humanitarian crisis." -- @AndreaChalupa, @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…
"In 2020, Trump lost the election, bur Trumpism is here to stay until we dismantle the systems that allow it to flourish. Hitler regrouped after his trial and 10 years later was in power. Where will the Trump family be?" -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/actual-n…

"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
