What will Canada do if America essentially collapses because Republicans succeed in wrecking our democracy and the 2024 elections leave this increasingly right wing extremist party in control? A very real and sobering discussion that’s happening now. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
The radicalization is real and has been gradually increasing, long before Trump came along.
And the potential scenarios aren’t good… here’s just one of them. Note that all of them presage an increase in right wing and/or state violence…
I suggest reading the whole thing (scaring is caring). And I sure hope some U.S. thought leaders are thinking through what we will do HERE if these things should come to pass.

Let me tell you how GANGSTER Republicans are. They're like ... you can vote, nonwhite people and white, urban liberals. But we're gonna make it so hard for you to register, you might just give up. And if you STILL manage to register? We'll make you stand in mile-long lines... 1/
And make no mistake, standing in mile-long lines is the ONLY way we're going to let you vote, while we engineer short lines and allow absentee ballots for OUR voters. And when you're in line? We're gonna make it ILLEGAL for anyone to even give you WATER. That's gangsterism. 2/
And if you manage to get through that? And your candidate beats our candidate? We're just gonna reverse the outcome of the election, so we win anyway. It's so thuggish, it should have been invented by the mafia! 3/

So you’re saying cancel our annual screenings for breast cancer, colon cancer, and regular preventive care checkups in general? And folks should just “what me worry” on diabetes, HIV, heart disease and the rest and just “live their lives” like yayyy… I’m only sick when I’m ER’d?
As my friend @MichaelRajner recently pointed out, Florida’s health department literally operates a program called “test and treat” to reduce the incidence of HIV, including in those who may not even feel sick. This is sound public policy. broward.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-s…
When I work out of 30 Rock in NYC I and everyone else in the crew and talent test 3 times a week to ensure we’re not contagious with COVID, so we can protect our coworkers and their families. Presumably @RonDeSantisFL and his weird Surgeon General Adapo think that’s dumb.

No matter how hard @RonDeSantisFL and his friends in right wing media try to spin it, missing is missing. And no one has explained where he was for some two weeks in December while COVID ravaged Florida and testing was near impossible to access.
And Ron on Monday finally held a press conference in which he discussed the fact that accompanied his wife to chemotherapy on December 29th. Kudos to him for that. 🙏🏿 But what about December 19-28? And where is the testing?? Oh right… Ladapo thinks testing’s nutty.🤪
Here’s our @thereidout segment with @DWUhlfelderLaw and Miami doc @BAshbyMD about Ron’s lost weeks... msnbc.com/the-reidout/wa…

All Margie Three Names jokes aside, the power of the big mainstream social media platforms, especially Twitter, is they let you broadcast outside your own base and do broad communication, positive or negative. It’s a lot less powerful to be yapping at each other on Parler & such.
If like her big daddy, Trump, Marge winds up getting kicked off Youtube and/or Facebook as well, it would be really hard for her to maintain her Vaudeville act, which requires an audience of not just fans, but also targets and hecklers to be effective (and lucrative) for her.
And since the woman has no duties in Congress, since her behavior got her de-committeed, she’s kinda nothing without an audience to perform for; though I assume Fox, OANN and such will give her lots of airtime at least in the short term. Tuckums probably already has her booked.

Like his father, Donald Trump relied on the laxity of New York and federal law enforcement, who looked the other way at his alleged tax dodging and magical real estate asset re-valuations. America should be relieved that Cy Vance is headed to the exits.
Vance was also easy on Donald’s friend Jeffrey… vox.com/2019/7/11/2069…
And also Trump’s sleazy kids… newyorker.com/news/news-desk…

That is to say 60 percent of the unvaccinated in the U.S. are Republicans or lean Republican. kff.org/coronavirus-co…
