I think there’s a sense the next 100 days could shut the door on Trump’s political future. That’s where some of this energy is coming from IMO.

We’ve worked & struggled for 8 yrs to protect America from him. And on the national level, the worst MAY be behind us if we win. 1/🧵

To be sure, if Harris wins, Trump could run again, but would that really be a serious challenge? Nah, not given his age IMO. In other words, the next 100 days could be the last time we have to REALLY worry about Trump being president.

This is exciting. But it’s also scary... 2/

Just take a look at the different futures before us. One is democratic, hopeful, and prosperous. The other is authoritarian, backward, and cruel.

One reflects the better angels of our nature. The other reflects our worst…3/

In one future, America is a beacon of freedom to the world. In the other, America aligns itself with the world’s autocracies.

There is so much at stake. We are at a pivot point in history. So it really is 100 days for the next ten years. It’s 100 days for the next generation. 4/

A couple things: I don’t think Trump’s going away if he loses. And even after Trump goes away, his movement will remain. 2016 opened up a Pandora’s box of extremism that may last a generation. This is particularly the case on the state level. 5/

I also think there will be some national figure to assume the MAGA mantle after Trump goes away.

But I do think that if we beat Trump for a SECOND time, that will take a lot of the power from this movement. And it’s POSSIBLE the fever could break. 6/

This is a long way of saying, this is an exciting time. But it is also a consequential time. So much is at stake.

It’s OK to be happy and joyful. In fact, that’s important to being able to win. But never forget what happens if we lose. Run through the finish line. 7/7 END
