1/ Let’s put aside political correctness and have the guts to discuss the obvious.
If MAGA militias, led by the Trump GOP, are intent on waging war against the US then let’s have at it NOW while Biden is still commander-in-chief NOT AFTER the #GOPFascists steal the WH in 2024.
2/The GOP STILL supports the traitor who attacked us on J6.
They STILL refuse to condemn the insurrectionists sitting in Congress and they STILL block all bills meant to protect the ballot.
And, even worse, they packed the SCOTUS w/zealots who support their FASCIST agenda.
3/ At the state level, GOP candidates are campaigning on Trump’s Big Lie.
If elected, these GOP candidates have vowed to disregard the popular vote and use their power to install a GOP president in the WH in 2024.
4/That’s not democracy.
That’s not oligarchy.
That’s not even kleptocracy.
That’s fascism.
The GOP is now a party LED by #GOPFascists who have one overarching goal -
Consolidating their power over all 3 branches of government.
5/For all these reasons and many, many more, Garland must hold Trump and his GOP J6 co-conspirators accountable.
He must.
Otherwise we will lose what’s left of our struggling democracy.

Slippery slope: the rationale - that life begins at fertilization - what about pregnant women who drink, smoke, take drugs, or engage in other behaviors that might endanger that fetus?
Are they guilty of assault?
Should they be locked up in order to stop that assault?
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY!
FETAL PROTECTION CENTERS
A new market/revenue stream now opening for #GOPFascists and their dark money donors -
Lucrative government contracts available from the new Czar of Life at DHS who is now accepting resumes for ‘Aunt Lydias’ nation wide.
FETAL PROTECTION CENTERS where pregnant women are detained and/or monitored for behaviors that might endanger the fetus are a whole new revenue stream for beleaguered #GOPFascists. A sanitized version of the chain gangs sheriffs rent out to local farmers.
Invest now!
1/ Euphemisms help normalize these men!
Trump isn’t just ‘uniquely bad’; Trump is a fascist’.
A president who uses his pulpit to mislead the electorate isn’t just ‘dishonest’; he’s propagandist!
The press better show some guts before these GOP fascists steal the next election
2/GOP FASCISTS hide in plain sight behind sham elections that provide them with a ‘fig leaf’ of democratic legitimacy.
They exploit our ‘civility’ and ‘sense of fair play’;
Bend the law until it breaks; and
Hide behind euphemisms that normalize their treachery.
3/Today’s fascists know that outright censorship is unnecessary, that their flood of fake news so pollutes the media that facts/truth become virtually irrelevant.Scapegoats,wealth inequality, race, and religion are weaponized to rally/divide an increasingly desperate electorate.
”Below is a potential Lawfare piece from New Year’s Day 2021, following a not-quite-worst-case scenario of election interference using real vulnerabilities in U.S. electoral systems, as well as social media, traditional media and the political sphere.” lawfareblog.com/op-ed-future-e…
1/This is a chilling prediction of what could happen in 2021 if we don’t secure our ballot ahead of the 2020 elections, written by one of the researchers who contributed to the 2019 Stanford University study/Report on “Securing American Elctions”
2/In this fictionalized piece, Mr. Stamos delineates in excruciating detail what could go wrong in the lead up to, and on, Election Day 2020.
You really have to read that for yourself.
The question he leaves us with is this -
What will happen after?
Here are his thoughts👇
Alabama Sharpiegate! “If Trump went (this) far over a weather forecast, how far do you think he will go to remain President of the United States, and by extension, avoid the criminal prosecution that awaits him as soon as he is not?” thekingsnecktie.com/2019/09/19/kni…
1/“My fear is that while we sit here . . . treating this like a normal election. . . within the bounds of what we have always thought of as an orthodox American presidential contest-Trump and the GOP are . . .approaching it like a gang of armed robbers walking into a bank.”
2/The GOP will contest vote counts-sow chaos-rig the actual vote-falsify the numbers so it appears Trump won in places where he didn’t, and dispute the results in places where he lost. (For a sneak preview, see how Putin behaved in the Russian elections earlier this month.)
1/The GOP is setting the stage to help Trump steal or derail the 2020 elections.
So there are really only two questions left:
1/How far will Trump go in order to stay in office and avoid indictment; and
2/How far will the GOP go to help him?
Here are my answers 👇
2/It is only common sense that when you tell a man who meets secretly w/dictators and owes his fortune to money laundering oligarchs, that the only way he can avoid prison is by staying in office, he will do anything to stay there. Absolutely anything.
3/Trump has ALREADY ABUSED his EMERGENCY POWERS TWICE to CIRCUMVENT CONGRESS:1/to fund his border wall (a scam blessed by his SCOTUS) and 2/to sell arms to the Saudis. So let’s take a moment to think about how TRUMP could use his emergency powers to sabotage the 2020 elections.
1/Heres the question: why didn’t the Dem leadership challenge the constitutionality of that DOJ policy Trump is hiding behind to avoid indictment? And, worse, why did they mislead us by acting as if that policy is settled law- a policy that endangers all life on this planet?👇
2/The DOJ policy against indicting a sitting president creates a moral hazard of catastrophic proportions -it INCENTIVIZES a criminal president to abuse his power in order to remain in office and it allows a criminal president to hide behind his office and run for re-election!
3/And although @ewarren made this part of her policy platform stating “If Donald Trump were anyone other than the President . . . he would be in handcuffs and indicted.”she and her colleagues did nothing to challenge this dangerous policy right now👇
