There was a failed coup d'etat yesterday and our leaders are deciding that it doesn't deserve any consequences.

We have two weeks to make sure they've changed their minds by their first day back. 🧵

1⃣Trump must be held accountable.

Congress should immediately begin impeachment proceedings upon return. The constitution allows for impeachment of former officers. The only real consequence for his actions will be if he is disqualified from holding future office.

2⃣The other participants in the failed coup must be expelled.

Our representatives must support the introduction of @CoriBush's resolution to expel members of congress that backed the failed coup.

3⃣We must abolish the electoral college.

Our representatives at every levels must support any and all efforts to abolish the electoral college. Minority rule, an open door to fascists, and months of violent instability is only possible in such an anti-democratic system.

We must know the history.

Time after time, fascists, authoritarians, and Nazis come to power through practice. Hitler attempted a coup 10 years before he successfully seized power.

We have to act now.
