Govern like you won all 50 states with 99% of the vote. You know, the way Republicans do when they “win” with 47% of the vote.
Act like there are no Republican Senators, because there are none worthy of their seats.

Gently set something heavy atop Joe Manchin, and use EOs if he breaks free.

Bold sweeping historical progressive agenda.
Appoint a Senate Majority Leader who drinks Republican whine.

Kill the filibuster
New state(s), voting protections, electoral protection, gerrymander reform
A comprehensive and adequate national pandemic response bill
Campaign reform
10 new Supreme Court seats

for starters
And all of these things.

And also absolutely do not let Joe Manchin become the McConnell of the Dems, bring him into the leadership office and either stuff him to the eyes with WVa pork or put the fear of god into him. One person should be solvable.
Oh and also make it illegal to be Ted Cruz.

Get somebody to write a legal opinion that this is constitutional. It'll be OK.

Republicans caused this to happen, because they wanted it to happen.

The president.
The Senators.
The Representatives.
And their voters.

An open show that they care about nothing but domination. That is their politics.

The gates were opened for them.

Later they were escorted out.

In between, they delivered their message. This space belongs to white supremacy, because this country belongs to white supremacy.

And now those who orchestrated it will pretend they had nothing to do with it.
"The worst of us are safer at their very worst than any of the rest of you are at your best."

That's the message. Republicans have delivered it for decades, last year most notably in their Covid policy.

They're very consistent to it.

The American Fascist Party.

Meet me in the middle, says the unjust man.

You take a step toward him. He takes a step back.

Meet me in the middle, says the unjust man.
There aren't two separate tribes; there are hundreds—thousands—of different ways of living, all of us living together trying to honor each other's humanity. And then there are Republicans, who want to dominate everyone as the sole default, and call everyone else "the other side."
There aren't two separate realities. There's only reality. And then their are Republicans, who have built an unsustainable tower of self-dealing lies that they try to force all the rest of us to live in, which they call "reality."

I know this is radical leftist talk, but you should not be able to kill somebody just because you feel scared in the moment.
We know full well that a stand-your-ground law is intended only for utilization by white people, and will be enforced as such.

Call "stand-your-ground" what it is. A modern decriminalization of lynching.
Find me somebody who favors "stand your ground" who doesn't also believe that Trayvon Martin—an unarmed teenager being stalked in his own neighborhood by an armed adult—was the aggressor.

It's a pro-lynching policy.

Imagine if these people ever experienced actual oppression.
The law never

Enslaved their great-grandparents
Robbed their grandparents
Imprisoned their parents
Stole their property
Shot them when unarmed
Exonerated their killers
Honored their murderers with flags and statues
There is no massive effort at the national, state, and local levels to disenfranchise them of the vote.

There exists no political party and media apparatus dedicated to the premise that allowing them to participate in society equates to theft.

So we're just going to skate past a sitting U.S. Senator making the white power sign with neo Nazis at a campaign event huh.
Oh well at least the *other* Georgia Republican Senator in a runoff election won't have the same prob—oh damn.

The reality is very simple: The Republican Party is no longer participating in democracy. They're running a series of ops against every election cycle, predicated on the notion that only their power is legitimate.
This isn't a failed coup. This is a *continuous* coup that stretches back years. It includes Gingrich's scorched earth methods, Bush v Gore, the politicizing of the Bush DoJ, the judicial obstructionism and nullification of the McConnell Senate, and the entire Trump presidency.
It includes decades of tortured racist gerrymandering and disenfranchisement, Citizens United, the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act, PACs, and deliberately colluding with foreign powers.

This isn't a failed coup. This is a *continuous* coup that stretches back years.
