MINI-THREAD:

1) When Tea Pain was a little boy, Tea's neighbor's to the West were the Whittens. Their 9 kids were usually poorly dressed, barefoot and always in trouble in school. Their daddy was Jimmy Whitten, a part-time mechanic and full-time alcoholic.
2) Tea recalls this one time he was playin' at the Whittens with their boys near their daddy's shed where he was workin' on a old car he could never seem to get runnin'. Tea was standin' near the taillights and could smell the Johnny Walker comin' from under the hood.
3) Jimmy Whitten had a habit of talkin' to anyone that would listen and he button-holed little Tea and started spewin' whatever came into his pure grain brain. "You know what?", Jimmy wheezed, his eyes lookin' like pickled eggs. "Adolf Hitler was a great man."
4) "And we'd be a lot better off if he'd won. We wouldn't have all these coloreds (you know he didn't say 'coloreds') here takin' our jobs. A white man can't get ahead when they're just givin' everything to them blacks!"
5) Needless to say, Jimmy had never worked a full day in his life and was dependent on his monthly welfare check to keep himself afloat in whiskey and misery.
6) "Let me tell ya somethin' else, Little Tea", Jimmy snarled. "The white man's superior in every way. The *n-words* ain't no different than monkeys. Mark my words, the South's gonna rise up again one day and it'll be glorious!"
7) Jimmy Whitten, standin' there in a torn undershirt, covered in grease and inebriated in self pity made this a tough sell to even ten year old Tea Pain. Truth be told, Tea felt a might sorry for old Jimmy because even Tea could sense Jimmy have found a salve...
8) for a lifetime of poor decisions by embracin' the hatred of White Supremacy. If Jimmy hadn't died of liver failure years ago he might still be alive to declare his undyin' allegiance to MAGA and his new Dear Leader, Donald Trump.
9) You see, MAGA ain't nothin' new. They're merely the ideological ancestors of the Confederacy and the Third Reich. Many of 'em are just like ol' Jimmy Whitten, distractin' themselves from personal failure with anger and false hope.
10) With people like this makin' up their base, it was inevitable the Republican Party would eventually devolve to its current depraved state. Sure, like all hate movements, they may have some minor victories in the short term, but rest assured, they will fail in the end. <eot>

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.

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...

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.
