I’m a Democrat, and I’m with Biden.

Our party voted for him. He’s one of the great American presidents. He beat Trump in 2020 and will beat him again. He polls better against Trump than anyone else in the party.

F*cking with our votes and deposing our leader is a grave mistake.
There’s *zero* evidence—not a *shred* of evidence *anywhere*—that Harris, Pritzker, Newsom, Moore, Shapiro, Whitmer, or any other Democrat can defeat Trump. Their polling is worse and they’ve no path to victory. Think otherwise? *You’re* the one living in a fantasy world, not us.
I’m sick and f*cking tired of being told Biden supporters have blinders on—even as those contesting our position have *no* polls to point to, *no* history to point to, and *no* medical records to point to to support their position. Indeed, *all* the *facts* are on the other side.
No one polls better than Biden. Parties that switch horses this late *lose*—*every goddamn time*. America is racist and misogynistic and is *champing at the bit* to pull the same sh*t on Harris or Shapiro or Pritzer or Whitmer or Moore that they did to Clinton. Know your country.
The presidential race is close because America is a f*cked-up country that’s obsessed with Trump right now—largely because media made him, media needs him, and media sustains him. The people saying President Biden is the problem are the assholes who gave us Trump to begin with.
If you have some little princess fantasy in your head of the swooningly perfect candidate everyone will just *adore* and *no one* will *attack*, you are a f*cking child and I have no use for you. *You* are the delusional onanistic imbecile, not people who see the score as it is.
Here’s the score: Donald Trump thinks only a white guy can beat him and God help us it *sucks* but right now he’s right. That’s why we need a man who’s beaten him (handily) before, has the bully pulpit, has the gravitas of the presidency, and polls better against him than anyone.
This election will be close as hell. It was *always* going to be close as hell because America sucks right now—half of us were conned by a born loser with ten layers of orange bronzer on his disgusting face. Your *fantasy* that this would be easy with somebody else is *pathetic*.
Is it possible democracy will lose? You bet your *ass* it is. Because—see prior tweets—America sucks right now. But the fact that this’ll be neck and neck *doesn’t logically equate* to someone else have a better shot than Biden.

That math doesn’t math because it’s *wishcasting*.
You want to be like Trump and try to undo a national vote? You want to spit in the face of your own voters? You want to fall into an *obvious MAGA trap*? You want to show the sort of fecklessness MAGAs think all Democrats natively possess? You want to be led by the nose by media?
We can’t stop you in most of those things, as none of us can pull a lever to keep others from being f*cknuts.

But *don’t* f*cking lie to our faces and say the polls support your coup; they don’t.

*Don’t* say history says you’re right—as in fact it says you’re courting disaster.
And it’s already been established that President Biden has no cognitive issues—read the medical report from February yourself—and that his issues in June are behind him because they were caused by a foreign trip schedule *even the NYT says* would’ve devastated a man half his age.
You want to do a coup because some billionaire donor said so? Because some media titan said so? Because a handful of Democrats out of 260 in Congress are cowards? Go ahead—try it. Be a silly little wishcaster. But don’t BULLSHIT us that you’re the tough ones. You’re soft as hell.

I just woke up from a long nap, can someone tell me if Trump has already apologized to the nation for falsely blaming the Kirk assassination on the left when—as with both his assassination attempts and 85% of political violence this century per the data—it was a far-right nutjob?
He is a Groyper. The Groypers are a far-right, neo-Nazi cult made up of young far-right males who thought Kirk was insufficiently far-right. thedailybeast.com/charlie-kirk-s…

Bomb threats against the Maryland General Assembly. Bomb threats against the Michigan lieutenant governor and his family. Bomb threats against 5 HBCUs. Two arrests for violent assaults in Idaho.

In 24 hours.

All Democratic/left-leaning victims.

All suspected MAGA perpetrators.
And that wasn't a full list—not even close.

Bomb threat against the Rhode Island Senate President. Bomb threat against the Rhode Island Majority Leader. Bomb threat against the New Mexico Senate Majority Leader. Once again all Democratic victims, all suspected MAGA perpetrators.
There's no reason to have a conversation about political violence based in rhetoric rather than data.

I don't need to note that every bomb threat on Election Day in 2024 was a MAGA bomb threat.

I don't need to mention January 6, Paul Pelosi, or the two dead Minnesota Democrats. Image

There was significantly less political violence in America before the 2016 presidential campaign. We all know why.

That doesn’t change that what happened today—in both Utah and Colorado—were tragedies.

It just underscores that revisionist history won’t solve America's problems.
Donald Trump transformed politics into an ultraviolent Thunderdome.

He did it for his own advancement, and he didn’t care what the consequences would be.

It’s *also* true that since Trump poisoned our politics there’s been violence from both Left and Right, though mostly Right.
Both Trump assassination plots I condemned immediately and unreservedly. Both would-be assassins were Republicans. The assassin who killed Minnesota’s Speaker was also Republican. So was the man who plotted to kill Pelosi. But there have been leftist assassins too. I condemn all.

There's no lie Elon Musk and his racist friends won't tell to try to hurt nonwhites—or even, I fear, to try to get deranged others to *literally* hurt nonwhites.

And we know these racists want to cause pain because a two-second Grok search would destroy every one of their lies. Image

If you read the comments on Musk's racist post, it's person after person after person absolutely convinced that Muslims never migrate to other Muslim countries but only come to Europe or America and only do so as part of some sort of invasion. These folks are touched in the head.
The history of human migration, by whatever group—of whatever race or ethnicity or religion—is that sometimes migrants are looking for a very similar place, sometimes a slightly different place, sometimes a very different place.

That has been human nature for thousands of years.

(🧵) Major media should be ashamed.

The manifesto of the Minnesota shooter has been translated—and it's all about his hatred of Jews, Blacks, Mexicans, illegal immigrants, Somalis... none of this had to do with him being trans and major media *knows* it.

So why won't it say so?
1/ The manifesto uses the most vile slurs imaginable to describe Jews and Blacks, groups MAGA is hostile to.

The manifesto uses the most vile rhetoric imaginable to speak of illegal immigrants, another group Maga is hostile to.

And it uses 4chan-speak. 4chan is a MAGA hotbed.
2/ Everyone in America knows at this point that MAGA is a fascist movement and that the first group it wants to start treating like the Nazis did Jews are transgender persons. So the second the possibility the shooter was trans arose, all of us should have apprehended the danger.

(🚨) The seventh book in the NYT-bestselling Proof Series is PROOF OF DEVILRY: THE CRIMES OF DONALD TRUMP, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

It’s so large—a 600-page epic—that it’s being released in three parts (on 8/17, 8/24, and 8/31).

Book One: sethabramson.substack.com/p/part-1-proof…Image
1/ I recognize that I often say this when I am speaking of extremely deep-dive curatorial research into Trump and two discrete topics—Jeffrey Epstein and January 6—but it is true: what is in this book will shock you even if you believe you cannot be shocked on these topics.
2/ I want to issue a warning to those with sensitivities surrounding the subject of sex crimes and pedophilia. It is almost certain that this epic work will be triggering for you so, do read with caution or decide whether it even makes sense for you to read this at all.
