MINI-THREAD on Trumpism:

1) After 4 years of embarassin' failures and gettin' wiped out in 2020, why does Trumpism still appeal to Republicans? Tea believes we'll understand it better if we break things down into their essence.
2) Trumpism ain't a doctrine. It's an act, and it's actions can be distilled down into three basic categories.

a. Ignorance
b. Racism
c. Cruelty
3) Remember when Trump said "We love the poorly educated?" Nate Lunder is one of the most ignorant men here in Gizzard Ridge. Needless to say, Nate is massive Trump supporter. Nate brags regularly that he's 47 years old and has never left Fartlett county. Tea would wager...
4) good money ol' Nate's never even met a black man, but he hates Black Lives Matter with a white-hot passion. Why? Because hate is fueled by fear and fear requires ignorance to thrive and Nate's got all three by the bushel basket. People are just naturally afraid of the unknown.
5) Nate's also been married three times and has trouble keepin' a job because he ain't done a honest day's work a day in his life. Plainly stated, Nate is lazy, but that don't keep him from blamin' minorities for his long string of poor personal life decisions.
6) Notice how Trump never accepts responsibility? A good person will examine his status in life, figure out what he did to get there, then work on a plan to dig his way out. Not Nate. Nate blames his plight on "Mexicans stealin' my job!", even through he'd have to drive...
7) ...all the way to the chicken plant in Berryville just to find one and you'd never catch Nate applyin' for a job that involved actual labor. You don't have to be a genius to extrapolate that ol' Nate is meaner than a snake and treated his three ex-wives like dirt.
8) Nate just don't blame minorities for his low station in life, but women too. It seems everybody's to blame for Nate's problems except Nate hisself. Sure sounds familiar don't it?
9) All that bein' said, why do Republicans continue headlong down this dark and hateful path? Because Nate Lunder is the Republican Party. <Tea out>

MINI-THREAD: If Tea Pain was Cyrus Vance, this is what he'd do. See if you agree.

1) Drop a few indictments over the next couple of months on some of the lesser imps and demons not named Trump at TrumpOrg. This should slowly raise the temperature in Weisselberg's crock pot.
2) Once Weisselberg starts simmerin' good, dump a load of paper on the Trump kids. The kids will have a choice of droppin' a dime on dear ol' dad or go after CFO Weisselberg. 99% chance they will blame Weisselberg for the mess they're in.
3) The Trump kids turnin' on Weisselberg will quickly turn the CFO from "Chief Financial Officer" to "Crunchy Fried Object". Allen knows if they'll go after the kids, then Trump is next. If the kids turn on Allen, then he's already got his answer if the family will squash him.

MINI-THREAD on White Christian Nationalism.

1) Religion is a funny thing, ain't it? It can guide you, comfort you, then turn around and try to kill you. Tea would bet you a set of banjo strings that almost every one of them traitors that attacked our Capitol identify...
2) ...as Christian. How does a religion founded by the "Prince of Peace" transform into a blood-thirsty mob bent on killin' their own brothers and sisters?
3) Truth be told, religion has been responsible for more deaths than global pandemics, world wars and meteors. For millennia, greedy politicians in every age observed that folks consumed religion and politics in much the same manner.

MINI-THREAD on Patriotism:

1) Republicans have been wavin' the American flag for years, callin' themselves "patriots" and paintin' Democrats as "unpatriotic." On Jan 6th, we found out what a bunch of bull-squirt they've been peddlin' all the years.
2) The GOP wants you to believe they are the party of 1776, but when their white supremacist messiah lost badly to Joe Biden, they stomped on the cornerstone of our Democracy, attemptin' to overthrow a free election and wage war against a peaceful transfer of power.
3) The "1776 Party" became more like the British army of 1814 that attacked and burned our nation's capitol. If you watched this abomination play out live on national television, you probably saw the scene where a group of MAGA rioters commandeered a window-washer platform.

MINI-THREAD on @VP Pence.

1) Mike Pence is not a "principled leader." As a matter of fact, he's no better than Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley. He should get no credit for follerin' the Constitution on Jan 6th, considerin' the alternative was prosecution and political ruin.
2) Chew on this. On Wednesday, Trump's mob was stormin' the Capitol while he was inside presidin' over the electoral count. While shoutin', "Hang Mike Pence!", mob leaders were carryin' multiple Zip-cuffs to "arrest" Pence and other Congressional leaders to escort them...
3) ...outside to the portable gallows they brought with them. If not for the quick response of Capitol staff, Pence would have been swingin' in the cold winter wind next to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

MINI-THREAD: 1) Tea Pain has never been more ashamed of our government than he is now. Over 100 Republican members of the House and a dirty dozen GOP Senators are throwin' in with Trump's seditious attempt to overthrow a certified election.
2) True enough, Republicans don't believe America is a Democracy, rather a Republic, but by definition a republic is where "sovereignty rest with the people through their elected representatives." Republicans also believe in "States Rights" rather than centralized power.
3) Sadly the GOP are lookin' at these two foundation principles in their rear view mirror. Trump has transformed (more like deformed) the Republican Party into a cabal of sycophants ulceratin' to crown an authoritarian as their "Unitary Executive". In other words, a king.

MINI THREAD on sedition.

1) We are watchin' a coup-attempt to overthrow a free and fair election develop before our very eyes. Hundreds of elected officials are knowingly, willingly, joyfully breakin' their vow to defend the Constitution.
2) The fact their fool-hearty efforts are doomed to fail should not diminish the severity of their crimes in the least and the next administration must hold them accountable for every last one.
3) There should be a concerted effort by the DOJ and state Attorney Generals to prosecute these crimes at the state level to circumvent Trump's pardon power.
