MINI-THREAD:

1) This week the MAGA feller that proclaimed he was “glad” he caught COVID died a miserable death at the hands of the deadly virus.

This is a tragic indictment of downward trajectory Trump put half our nation on.

2) How did we get to a point where a livin’, breathin’ human bein’ can be ecstatic about contractin’ a deadly disease that ends in such a miserable demise? The answer may be simpler than you think.

3) Used to be folks in this country agreed on lotsa stuff, like family, supportin’ our troops, modern medicine, education and respectin’ the rule of law, but now we got one political party cheerin’ low vaccination rates and makin’ policy guaranteein’ COVID is free to spread.

4) This all springs from each party’s basic philosophy of governin’. Democrats believe power is achieved through diversity, basically everyone unitin’ as one. Republicans, on the other have, have chosen to achieve power by dividin’ white folks against everyone else.

5) Right-wing division requires one simple criteria: “whatever the Democrats believe, we believe the exact opposite.”

As a result, Republicans are forced to reject all those things that used to unite us, much to their own peril.

6) This division created a morality death-spiral that drug the Right down to the point where Republicans cheerfully supported an violent insurrection against their own country.

7) All we can do to protect our Democracy is to hold fast to policies that help all Americans and fight hard to protect our vote while Republicans further divide their party til it splits into a million tiny pieces and, like MAGA man, dies it’s own miserable, gaspin’ death. <eot>
