He not only failed to respond, he actively spread disinfo to make it worse.
And his son-in-law, while running 2020 campaign, ran a shadow Covid task force, where he took actions against “blue states” with calculation that ⬆️ infection & death among “Dems” would help the campaign.
And “read a book” man-splaining trolls have jumped.
The question remains: WHY do GOPs reject democracy - both the word, as part of defining our republic; AND democracy itself (ex: their embrace of the Big Lie)?
Why are they so intent on separating “republic” from “democracy”?
Gonna post some of my old tweets/ threads on the propaganda/radicalization machine that the GOP is banking on, for keeping their power grip and regaining majority.
White Supremacy and Domestic Terror is now the party.
There is a reason companies are shutting shit down. To report & pontificate, WITHOUT GOING ON PLATFORMS TO WITNESS WHAT IS BEING SPREAD & GROWING IS JOURNALISTIC MALPRACTICE.
Stop it!
Stop theorizing 1A, if you’re not willing to bear witness to what is happening.
GD it.
STOP.
If you have never been in these “forums”, you have no f*cking clue how violent they are. NONE.
The language, threats, & imagery shared is horrific. HORRIFIC.
It’s a radicalization machine. A MACHINE.
It churns minds into mush & pushes them to act out on violent fantasies.
ENOUGH.
2/ Click thru this to the screen grab. Read it. Let the YEARS of donald calling press the “enemy of the people” ring through your mind. Add the sight of the insurrectionists - their determination, as they crushed officers, rubbed feces on capital walls, & chanted for @vp’s head.
3/ Remember the last act of planned domestic terror against Michigan’s governor. And then reflect on that noose erected on capital grounds on Wednesday and the zip ties in the hands of military veterans who made their way into the Senate chamber.
Coordinated insurrection.
Pre-planned.
Key “information” terrorists, who became real terrorists that day, in contact with White House, new civilian plants at Pentagon, & Don Jr.
Possible former Blackwater/Prince operative embedded.
2/...until lawmakers in session bent to the will of donald: granting him the 10-day stay on certifying the election.
Part of this plan was at state-level, with goal of dismissing votes or “finding ballots”. Pennsylvania f*ckery actually played out. cbsnews.com/news/pennsylva…
3/ The messiness of Rudy and others shows us that not all coordination needed was secured. Still...
I would gamble that both Hawley and Cruz (if not MANY others in House - especially McCarthy) knew what the goal was & role of “protestors”. news.yahoo.com/giuliani-calle…
