It’s kind of scary how well hyperpartisanship serves to obscure what Republicans are actually doing with their never-ending attacks and conspiracy theories on Biden, Harris, Obama, and Democrats; which is attacking America and democracy itself (because they are fascist traitors).
See this thread on how Republicans collectively responded to Russia attacking Ukraine (by blaming Biden’s non-existent ‘weakness’ and the West in general). They are the #PartyofTreason
#GOPTraitorsToDemocracy
And if you look at what Republicans do, it’s clear they want nothing more than to destroy this nation. That’s why they still push COVID/vaccine lies, ban books and free school lunches; pass bills to defund education; try to rip healthcare from millions; refuse to expand Medicaid
It’s why they oppose common sense gun control and living wages/raising the minimum wage. It’s why they oppose expanding/protecting voting rights and have gutted the voting rights act. It’s why they incite political violence and openly conspired to overthrow the U.S. government.
It’s why they attack marginalized groups; strip fundamental rights from women; want to ban contraception & marriage equality & eliminate the separation of church and state; pass bills to target trans youth; embolden Nazis and domestic terrorists; and weaken our national security.
It’s why they prevented Biden from filling key administrative roles; eliminated COVID relief; allowed the Women’s Health Protection Act and assault weapons ban to expire; are coming after Social Security and Medicare; oppose programs to end poverty and homelessness, and on and on
It’s why they oppose providing assistance to Ukraine; side with Russia over our intelligence agencies; oppose health benefits for veterans and active service members; oppose lowering Rx drug costs; oppose clean energy or combating climate change; and offer nothing to help us ever
It’s why they’re trying to defund the IRS and FBI; interfere with active DOJ investigations; elevate terrorists like Ashli Babbitt or murderers like Kyle Rittenhouse as “heroes/martyrs;” got rid of metal detectors outside the House chamber; and want to terminate the Constitution.
Here’s the formula for figuring out what side Republicans will take on ANY issue/policy:

Does it help America/strengthen democracy? Republicans are against it.

Does it weaken or harm America/democracy? Republicans are unilaterally in favor of it.
It’s not left vs. right anymore. It’s democracy vs. fascism. There are no “both sides” or “middle ground” to these two extremes, despite the fact that the media continues to try to present everything that way. Democrats are the only pro-democracy party.

This insurrectionist trash pile presiding over the United States House of Representatives for a single second is an unspeakable insult and disgrace to this nation. She is presiding over the body she literally conspired with terrorists to violently overthrow. Image
Refresher on the critical roles @RepMTG played in organizing, planning, and inciting January 6th, as well as using every moment since to whitewash it, call it a “protest” or “tourist visit,” advocate for J6 prisoners, and blame it on everyone *other* than Trump and the @GOP:
Here’s a review of everything we learned from the January 6th committee hearings; which included evidence that at least a dozen @HouseGOP members were actively involved in coordinating, promoting, and/or inciting the attack as well as seeking pardons from Trump for their roles:

.@RepMTG: You called for Speaker Pelosi, Biden, and Harris to be “executed for treason.” You incite violence on a daily basis. And January 6th was not “people walking into the Capitol.” It was a deadly terrorist attack that you helped plan and incite.
Every time this treasonous abomination that bullies teenage survivors of school shootings and already virulently bigoted conspiracy theories minimizes the severity of the insurrection, she confesses both her complicity and involvement in it. And we will never forget, Marge.
And that guy who put his feet up on Pelosi’s desk left a note plainly stating he had every intention of killing her. You are sympathizing with domestic terrorists and white supremacists because you are BOTH of these things.

.@mattgaetz tried to introduce an amendment to begin each meeting of the House Judiciary Committee by having members recite the Pledge of Allegiance. @RepCicilline offered “an amendment” to the amendment prohibiting anyone who supported an insurrection from reciting the pledge.
Fun fact: In 1943, the Supreme Court ruled in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette that government officials cannot force anyone to participate in patriotic rituals, including the Pledge of Allegiance. No one can force you to stand for or recite the pledge.
“If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official—high or petty—can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein”
—SCOTUS, 1943

I don’t usually get too personal on here, but a recent experience with a friend of mine has me curious how many of you have ever had any sort of relationship with a narcissist, sociopath, or even just an avoidant/schizo personality disordered person. My ❤️ goes out to all of you.
If you feel like sharing about it in the replies, please feel free. Or you can DM me if you’d rather not share publicly.
I will share my story too. About 5 months ago, I started chatting with a neighbor of mine when we crossed paths in the hallway. She was super friendly and had an adorable Chihuahua mix that loved me. We became friendly pretty quickly and exchanged numbers and texted occasionally.

.@HawleyMO: You childishly calling your bill banning members of Congress from trading stocks ‘The Pelosi Act’ does not change the fact that Republican lawmakers and their spouses make more money from trading stock than Democrats. And it’s not even close.
Republican Representative Kevin Hern made about $2.7 million in nearly two dozen stock trades. Republican Senator Richard Burr sold off between $628,000 and $1.72 million in stock holdings in mid-February. He made the trades a week before the pandemic crashed the stock market.
Republican Representative
Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee reportedly made 700 stock trades worth as much as $10.9 million. Republican Representative Blake
Moore of Texas made as much as $1.1 million in dozens of stock trades from early to mid-2021.

The “Russia Russia Russia hoax” was never and still is very much not a hoax.
Refresher on what the Mueller Report actually found (endless collusion and at least 14 separate acts of obstruction of justice):
Refresher on how blatant Trump made the fact that he was (and still is) OWNED BY VLADIMIR PUTIN while he was in office:
