@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh The difference between you & me, between those who see the con & the believers in the con is that instead of increasingly shrill declarations that run contrary to every fact, as if ranting against actual facts had substance, the diff is we point to a mountain of facts, data, and

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 2/ utterances by Trump & the trump team. We do not have to rely on hidden meanings, or occult parsing of "2016" to occlude & distract from Every Single thing that demonstrates proves the opposite of your holding.

The list is now volumes long. And you remain unmoved, & unmovable.

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 3/ The list of what you cannot consider lest your bubble be permanently popped. And who are you then? Having bought into the con so fully?
It is a hard thing. I get it.

Now we have the greatest con, the greatest lie, & the most essential as to its destructive possibilities

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 4/ being propounded by Trump & his power hungry acolytes: "I won the election. And that by a landslide".

By now it should be obvious that this is simply delusional.
Trump's own AG Barr knew this. And resigned. After everything else he did for Tr. He & all subsequent Trump AG's

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 5/ rejected Tr's tremendous pressure to declare the election corrupted & invalid. None would do it.
And now it is coming out just how lawless & abusive Tr was while trying to force the Justice Dept to do his bidding.

You must say "it is all part of the cabal against Trump".

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 6/ That "everyone" is against Trump.

But you are incapable of asking why? At least no deeper than "Tr threatens them" or some such nonsense. It is the stuff of cults.

The problem is this cult is designed to erode the cornerstone of the American experiement.

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 7/ The difference between you and me is not simply our news sources. Or some appeal to a discredited conspiracy of Obama in 2016.
Regardless of your interpretation, we have Trump on record, and on tape saying and doing things that are violations of principles, lying endlessly,

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 8/ and perpetuating the con that "he alone can fix it".

The difference between us is not news sources, but the unwillingness of the Trump believers to accept the most obvious of facts and statements at face value. Everything that contradicts the great leader must be ignored,

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 9/ and dismissed w a facile, lame, denial of everything...Not with argument. Just outraged, angry denial and attacks.

It is a worthy performance. In a different venue, less consequential, maybe a fake "reality" show, it might even be entertaining.

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 10/ As it is the historical patterns and examples are chilling. In the end, or after the end, people who were caught up in this con, at every level, from leader to believer, will deny they ever were part of it & will try & distance themselves.
Barr is an example.
There are many.

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 11/ This little argument of mine needs to be refined. It is not as well argued as it could and should be. The nature of twitter posts, and threads.
So it is.
The essential point is to counter your absurd assertion that the only diff between you and me, your tribe and mine is

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 12/ our "news sources".
It is quite a bit more than that.
It is quite a bit more obvious than that.

Whatever else is going on, this con is going on. Trump cannot stand opposition.
There is a reason his connections were w the likes of Putin & Kim. The only way for these regimes

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 13/ to thrive, or even exist, is by controlling the opposition and deny all facts & reality that threatens to expose the image & position of the dear leader, and the con.

I hope that you will soon release yourself from the enthrall of this mindset. Democracy depends on it.

@tommy_pane @tfamerica3000 @adamsteinbaugh 14/ And again, apologies, This should be a more sharp & focused response.
But then, would it really matter if it were? It hasn’t thus far.

Best of luck on your extraction.
