I’ve said for years that we’re post electoral politics and it’s bizarre that we’re just allowing a clearly seditionist movement to flourish while we dither.

The author, @PerryBaconJr says “We have 4 huge problems. I don’t see solutions to any of them.”

Well, I do.

@perrybaconjr Our system of government is now completely broken and it has no constitutional tools with which to fix itself. The founders left gaping holes for evil people to seize our process, and we are living under a mass delusion that a process can fix it. It cannot. But we must.

@perrybaconjr As I just said privately…

@perrybaconjr Thank you, @perrybaconJr. Perhaps this will light a fire.

“I hope I am overly alarmed about all of this. But I don’t think I am. Perhaps democracy dies faster in darkness. But it could also die slowly in the light, as all of us watched but didn’t do enough to save it.”

@perrybaconjr Pandemic or no pandemic, if we don’t start to break up this ruthless, anti-democratic movement, we’re condemning our country to death. Anyone who doesn’t see that is either too invested, too stupid, or too lost in magical thinking to see the reality until it’s too late.

@perrybaconjr You can protest about police brutality until the cows come home. Once these Republicans retake national control, the local level ruthlessness will be so uncorked and untethered. what we think of now as injustice now will feel like a day at the beach on the fourth of July.

@perrybaconjr And the worst part of it all? We’re so dumbed down, that even the FoxNews viewers going along with all of this live in such a fantasy world, all the think that matters is beating the other team. The don’t understand the gravity or implications of what they are unleashing.

@perrybaconjr We have to stop being distracted by the clown shows like @MTgreenee and @mattgaetz. They are infected zits on the ass of this Republic, but that’s just an irritation. It’s McConnell, McCarthy and SCOTUS who are fatal, and they must be stopped right here, right now.

@perrybaconjr @mtgreenee @mattgaetz If @sen_joemanchin and @SenatorSinema are too stupid or too selfish to understand that “bipartisanship” is now mere complicity, they alone will be responsible for the desperate measures to come if we are to save ourselves at all. THEY decide whether we do it “peacefully.”
