"It's been two months since there was a violent attack on the Capitol resulting in deaths. The people at the top in this mafia cohort surrounding Trump -- Stone, Bannon, Flynn, etc -- are still not being prosecuted for their role in it." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…
"The aftermath of the Capitol attack is a total disaster from a democracy point of view. It's been played very well by the instigators, who are inside our institutions. The attack was an inside job. It was planned early." -- @ruthbenghiat on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…
"When Trump had the rally, he wasn't just inciting violence. He told the crowd 'I love you, you're special, our journey is beginning.' January 6 was a rescue operation of the leader. It reminded me of early fascism." -- @ruthbenghiat on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…
"The GOP has tightly defended this attack, rewriting history, whitewashing violence. Every time a GOP official goes on TV they are telling you that violence is an acceptable way to solve the problem of staying in power." -- @ruthbenghiat on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…
"There is an emergency in the GOP. They can't win legally but they have to stay in power. As usual, they turn to voter suppression. But what was added was violence -- and the GOP has thrown its weight behind violence as a recruiting tool." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…
"In dictatorships, elections become just another piece of information that can be denied or replaced with the reality that one needs to stay in office. This is what the GOP is trying to do now on a state level." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/electora…
"Democracy was an honor system and they have total scorn for that. In the future, the GOP won't care if they didn't really win the election. They'll try to stay in power anyway, like 20th century authoritarians in other countries." -- @ruthbenghiat patreon.com/posts/electora…
