The victor in the Civil War wasn’t the ‘North’. It was the United States. We beat a violent, traitorous faction.

But that faction lived on through Jim Crow, the ‘Southern Strategy’, now MAGA…

The GOP, Fox & more are infected by the faction. The insurrection is ongoing.
The key tool being used by the faction now is the Big Lie.

They seek to limit access to the ballot box and institutionalize the ability of the faction’s current party - the GOP - to overturn election results.

They seek to defeat the US from the inside, but it’s the same war.
The goal is to rule from the minority. Their coalition is strong & disciplined and includes:

Fox, OAN, Sinclair, Daily Wire, Breitbart, White Evangelical churches, paramilitary groups, Federalist Society, Judicial Watch, Council for National Policy & the Republican Party & more.
The faction is expert at uniting a fervent base by enflaming White resentment.

It’s the same strategy they’ve always had, though the political and social groups that they’ve infected have shifted over time.

White supremacy is always at the core of their ideology.
It’s important to know who the real enemy is so that you can stop fighting battles and realize there’s a full-scale war being waged by a determined, seditious enemy.

The entire faction must be defeated, not just the GOP.

Happy #4thofJuly. May the United States prevail.

Republicans LOVE to pretend they care about "the deficit".

But what do they actually DO about it?

1) The 1st bill passed by the GOP House would increase the debt $114 billion (by allowing wealthy people & corporations to continue to cheat on their taxes). #StopGOPLies

🧵/1
2) Congressional Republicans proposed repealing reforms President Biden signed to lower prescription drug costs.

Repealing these policies would increase the amount of money Medicare pays Big Pharma, raise costs for seniors, and add $159 billion to the debt. #StopGOPLies

🧵/2
3) House Republicans have advocated and proposed repealing tax increases on large corporations that President Biden has signed into law.

This would add $296 billion to the debt. #StopGOPLies

Americans really need to understand this.

McCarthy has agreed to bring a bill to the floor that would eliminate almost all Federal taxes and impose a 23% sales tax across the country.

The impact would be devastating for working families.

Non-partisan experts agree that this would be extremely regressive, raising taxes on middle class Americans and slashing them for the wealthy.

Bush’s Treasury Department analyzed a similar proposal: govinfo.library.unt.edu/taxreformpanel…

They found it would raise taxes by thousands for typical middle-class families.

The burden would likely be especially great for seniors and families with children.

Some people think it's time to leave Twitter.

My thoughts on that...

I founded an organization focused on digital persuasion.

At @DemCastUSA, we empower people to use their social reach strategically.

If you're on social to influence, I urge you to stay. /1
I've checked out Mastodon, Tribel, Counter Social and other alt platforms.

There's promise. But it's not clear that one is destined to "take over" the role of Twitter.

I'd say it's likely that none of them do, in fact. /2
I founded DemCast because I thought it was important to use our personal networks to influence the people within our reach - no matter their political proclivities. /3

How bad were Tuesday's primary elections for the fate of democracy?

Really bad.

1. Maine Gov: Paul LePage won the GOP nomination for Governor after saying that 2020 was "clearly a stolen election."

THREAD /1
2. ME-02: Bruce Poliquin is the GOP nominee after urging Trump not to concede in 2020 & refusing to say unequivocally that Biden won.

3. Nevada Gov: Trump-endorsed Joe Lombardo won the GOP nod after questioning whether Biden won "fair and square."

/2
4. Nevada Secretary of State: GOP nominee Jim Marchant is an EXTREME election denier who says he would not have certified the 2020 results if he'd been SoS.

5. Nevada - US Senate: Adam Laxalt has been dubbed the "Nevada version of Rudy Giuliani". Enough said.
