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....
...in Belarus, where the pro-democracy side lost after *actual* fraud by the autocracy side....
...pro-democracy in Hong Kong, and government response (looks frighteningly like the government response to protests under Trump)_...
...pro-democracy protesters in Thailand fighting riot police....
...more pro democracy riots....
...this is what is coming, @DanCrenshawTX. Because you want entire country to suppress votes the way you do, because you crave a strongman even if it means throwing out millions of votes, this is what's coming -maybe whether you win or not. The genie cant go back in the bottle.

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..

@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
