Vance in 2016: “In nominating Trump, Republicans have come full circle: The party of Lincoln has become the party of the white man. And that man has become extremely cynical.”

Vance: “The reality is not that black Americans enjoy special privileges. In fact, the overwhelming weight of the evidence suggests that the opposite is true.”
“Getting whipped into a frenzy on conspiracy websites, or feeling that distant, faceless elites dislike you because of your white skin, doesn’t compare.”
“…the Republican party’s problem is bigger than Trump, and will outlast him: It is increasingly the party of a white population cut off from its fellow citizens.”

Ashli Babbitt went to Capitol Hill and crawled through broken glass because she wanted Mike Pence to die. @MariaBartiromo calls her a “wonderful woman.” ImageImage
Consider the message this sends to other elected Republicans: not only will Donald Trump glorify the 1/6 lynch mob; so will Fox News. “Ride or die.”
And if they can effectively target Mike Pence for death and suffer no consequences, anything is on the table. You can’t expect the rank-and-file to openly resist this violent agitation. They have families.

Did "GETTR" just straight up copy people's old Twitter feeds? Why do they have posts from 2012?
gettr.com/post/puq4
lmao way to keep these old posts alive
So here's the answer, you can upload your old Twitter content and have it mirrored at the new site.

Dunno if that's allowed under Twitter's TOS but there you go.

Federalist 22 defines "the fundamental maxim of republican government, which requires that the sense of the majority should prevail"
This section on the failures of the early American Confederation seems particularly relevant to current debates about how much power a minority faction in the US Senate ought to have.
"To give a minority a negative upon the majority (which is always the case where more than a majority is requisite to a decision), is, in its tendency, to subject the sense of the greater number to that of the lesser."

The 1/6 commission (or select committee) should investigate and make recommendations, but it should also be a forum for senior officials to explain why they held Trump responsible for the insurrection.

Betsy DeVos: “we are left to clean up the mess caused by violent protesters overrunning the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to undermine the people’s business. . . . There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me.”
Bill Barr: “Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable... The President’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters.”
