@DanCrenshawTX My heart crashed reading these tweets. You have either been radicalized in the exact same way as the people you fought, you are knowingly lying, or you are stupid. You have attacked federalism. I am inviting other states to sue ours because the *true* voter suppression of TX../1
@DanCrenshawTX ...harms other states because - by your argument - other states that dont like the results in Texas have a basis to sue. You are shattering the Union, where every state can sue the other for what they don't like. There is NO evidence of fraud, as every judge has said. The..../2
@DanCrenshawTX ...suits have been thrown out by judges appointed by every president, democrat and republican. The most brutal, ripping opinion was written by a Trump judge. They have repeatedly said that conspiracy theories and piles of meaningless paper are not the basis for litigation. You..3
@DanCrenshawTX ...are same party that raged at Clinton because she did not immediately concede in the middle of the night when the media called the 2016 election, but waited until morning. Yet NOW you scream the media doesnt call elections, you can fight as long as you want with no proof.../4
@DanCrenshawTX ...but just conspiracy theories. Make no mistake, Dan - this is sedition. You may win reelection but you and the other anti-American temper tantrum fascists will be in our history books - if history books are not blocked from reporting history, as they are in autocracies - as...5
@DanCrenshawTX ...someone who disgraced his pledge to the constitution, who fought the "other" based on arguments that are counter to reality (which are tactics of fascism), and who disgraced this country to such an extent that you are unfit to call yourself an American. What do you think.../6
@DanCrenshawTX ...will happen if you people succeed in destroying America with the same types of conspiracy theories used in Serbia, Belarus, etc, and overthrow the election? There will be armed riots. Soft targets will undoubtedly be hit. People fighting for their democracy will go after.../7
@DanCrenshawTX ...those who are trying to take it away - just like in every other country. As someone who used to vote for Republicans and Democrats, I cannot tell you how much I now hate the GOP. I did not vote to support those who seek an autocracy. The sad part is, there is no going.../8
@DanCrenshawTX ...back. The American experiment is over. You and your kind destroyed it yesterday. Democracy is like fine crystal, once it is cracked, it cannot be returned to its original state. Conspiracy theories are now enough to attack democracy. This will happen every time that GOP..../9
@DanCrenshawTX ...loses. There are Republicans all around the country who are following Trump's lead and refusing to concede - even some that lost by almost 50 points. I have no doubt, you have put the country on the trajectory to split eventually. I doubt Texas will want to take over blue...10
@DanCrenshawTX ...states' role in funding the welfare states - the red states that take more money than they give. So probably Texas will split off from the red states, red states will be a near-third world country, blue coasts will have a functional connection or be a single country. You.../11
@DanCrenshawTX .. set us on this path. Youve either been radicalized by lies or adopted the lies knowing you can manipulate people with them. You will never escape this stain. You are not an American. Fascism is the use of "the other" (liberals) harkening back to a mythical past (MAGA).../12
@DanCrenshawTX ...and divorcing people from reality. Make no mistake - what you are doing is fascism. I have been reading a number of books about the history and workings of fascism. Those who drift into fascism often dont realize it until its too late. That is you. There may be no coming.../13
@DanCrenshawTX ...back from your push in this direction. It is a terrifying time in America knowing as citizens we can do nothing to stop this, to preserve our democracy, to stop the conspiracy theories which you dont consider bogus when 56 courts say they are. You and your ilk are a disgrace.

If you think Snowden should be pardoned, you don't know all he did. He disclosed secrets to China: our surveillance for gathering info on its nuke program was instantly destroyed. So Russia shut down arms talks cause they knew we were blind on China.../1

Isn't it interesting how no conservatives objected to this conservative *man* who wrote books attacking liberals since he calls himself "doctor" because of his PhD in business? Hmmmm... Image
....hmmmm...and look here. He calls himself "Dr. Kissinger" too. Yet such silence by the Dinesh Dsouzas of of the world for decades.... Image
...hmmm...and look here. Former Texas Senator Phil Gramm not only calls himself Dr., but even made sure that the award in his name had the honorific Dr. in it... Image

All be careful: This is most dangerous point any circumstance of potential terrorist attack. Trumpers have been lied to by folks like @DanCrenshawTX and @GOPLeader to convince them of a fantasy election conspiracy. The RW threats are at the edge now, the common time when.../1

@DanCrenshawTX 1st element of fascist efforts to seize power is creating "the other" - in Italy, the "classical liberals" advocating civil liberties; in Germany, the Jews; in America, democrats. The 2nd is to create false reality - that when the very argument you advance has been tossed out...
@DanCrenshawTX ...55 times from courts, that a state can undermine federalism by attacking the sovereignty of a sister state - PARTICULARLY when the rules have been upheld by courts already - simply so they can abuse "original jurisdiction" to take it straight to SCOTUS on belief a GOP court...
@DanCrenshawTX ...will overthrow an election - and majority will just accept it. By your argument, California can sue Texas for voter suppression, gun laws, environmental laws, and all the rest and go straight to SCOTUS to do it. This argument lost 55 times because it's a lie. You just dont..

What's coming, maybe not now, but in a few years unless people like @DanCrenshawTX drop the attacks on democracy using conspiracy theories.

In Ukraine, where there were bogus arguments of "fraud" in elections to retain power, setting off pro-democracy riots....
