We’re past the point of being “alarmed,” “disheartened,” or “disappointed.” We are in a battle for democracy against a party that has made it clear for decades that they oppose it and will do everything they can to extinguish it because it’s the only way they can maintain power.

The @FBI and most of our other intelligence agencies are already investigating Jan 6th and are well aware of the complicity of @GOP Congress members. @HouseDemocrats should still conduct their own and force every Republican to testify under oath in front of the entire nation.

Drag every @GOP member who voted against the commission or abstained from the vote in front of the cameras and force them to either explain themselves to the people who elected them under oath, commit perjury (another federal offense) or resign and face charges for sedition.

Show footage of @tedcruz, @HawleyMO, @RepBoebert, @MoBrooks, @RepMTG, @RepAndyBiggsAZ actively inciting the deadly insurrection. Show their top officials in the house (@GOPLeader) and the senate (@LeaderMcConnell) condemning the attack and then voting against investigating it.

The impeachment trials of Trump were vital despite the outcome in the senate because they helped the nation see what the @GOP has become: a party of treasonous fascists and racists who used Trump to pack the courts and stack state legislatures to continue undermining democracy.

We need to stop playing defense and play offense. There is no need for nor value in bipartisanship with a party that embraces and emboldens white supremacy and endorses domestic terrorism and insurrection, even when it jeopardizes their own lives and their leader has left office.

The @GOP had no platform in 2020 other than mass murder, racism, treason, denial of science, & conspiracy theories and they still were able to cheat their way to having veto power over legislation with 50 senators and 2 Democrats who are obviously either bought or compromised.

They are counting on keeping everyone distracted so we don’t see what they’re doing at the state level all across the country to further disenfranchise and suppress votes under the guise of “electoral integrity” and “voter fraud prevention.” We see it and must combat it NOW.
