@tommy_pane @Delavegalaw Is is my deep hope, for your sake, you are simply being churlish, or maybe your attempt at being funny, or maybe just sore because what you are devoted to is crumbling.
But I suspect you are none of these.
Which is exceedingly sad.

So now you will be part of those who nurse

@tommy_pane @Delavegalaw 2/ their resentments, muttering, like your iconic leader, "I won... They stole it from me... I won... there is no way I lost..."
In an endless loop.
And while you probably won't be violent you will be in support of those who are, & think it just.

That is your prerogative.
Enjoy

@tommy_pane @Delavegalaw 3/ You and those that call themselves Trump devotees, the ones who finally metastasized into yesterday's attack, & those not there, but who would have been, perhaps wanted to be, but see no problem with what happened..In fact, as you imply, think it exactly what is needed in the

@tommy_pane @Delavegalaw 4/ public square...
I'll no longer debate you.
I have attempted to engage you, sometimes cajole you, sometimes try and reason with you... All to no good effect.

So I'll leave this convo, and this debate with a low hope that you will pay attention, at least think about

@tommy_pane @Delavegalaw 6/ what is being told here in this short, but profound, post by @TimothyDSnyder.

Trump has been foisting a lie on the country.
It has little to do w your primary libertarian issues, though they have been used as keywords to gain access.

@tommy_pane @Delavegalaw 7/ You should read his books,or at least find some of his lectures and presentations on You Tube.

This is a fellow who understands the historical context of our contemporary moment. It is beyond simple libertarian v mainline ideas... Talking about what are the conditions that

@tommy_pane @Delavegalaw 8/ destroy democracies and enable dictatorships & tyranny.

Perhaps this does not concern you. It should.

I take the time to offer this coda bec we have had a long 'joust'.
I hope you receive it as it is offered.

It really is time to abandon the lie that is Trump(ism)
