Republicans.

I need you to understand that Trump gave them a peace deal without afghan input for NOTHING in return as a reelection ploy.

There's a lot of blame for all of the last 4 presidents but THIS was orchestrated by YOUR guy. And it was supposed to be done even quicker. So no. When I criticize minor details here and there as I'm supposed to as a patriotic american who doesn't worship a politician or party like you do, that doesn't invite you to say trump would have done it better.

He wouldn't. He TRIED to do it WORSE.

Fucking what?

Ok I told you all that this was going to happen.

Let COVID get out of control.

Use it to cancel the election.

They're shutting down polling places while opposing mail in ballots.

I don't care if you say "he can't cancel the election" he's doing it right now.

He couldn't legally do the other shit either and who fucking stopped him?

Do you think if he just cancels the shit outright the Senate is automatically going to say "ah we need to stop him" or "well it's only until covid is over so it's okay..."

My dad just reiterated that we are going to be fine because we "got ahead of the curve" by Trump shutting travel down "before it gets here."

I told him it's here.

He said it's all a media hoax and this is all what living under socialism would be like. Oh. The call was to ask me if I need anything because the grocery stores are empty or going to be empty soon. I said I told ya so. That's how this began.

I'm warning you all with the most extreme severity that I ever have as someone who studies dictatorships.

We are literally slipping into a dictatorship much faster than our system of government was meant to counteract.

This is very bad and we are hovering around "it's too late"

When those senators voted to acquit him, they did so after his legal team argued that he was above the law.

That was a huge fucking red flag because his team didn't *need* to argue that, or anything.

They chose to for a reason. To establish precedence that he is above the law.

THREAD

I'm gonna let y'all in on a secret. I can't stand politics or political games. I went into it because I have a knack for solving problems and I love my country.

I didn't think "when I grow up I'm gonna be a Democratic politician."

I just wanted to make things better. Well, where do my views align most? The Democratic party. So by nature of the system we have in place, that's what I am, and how I run.

I want equality, prosperity, freedom, and security for all, any order you choose.

But there is this stigma around politics and politicians.

At the bar with my republican friend.

"Do you realize how hard this is, being a conservative and i have to wake up to his shit every morning? You have no idea"

Me: I wanna tweet that.

"Oh go ahead, go ahead I have no shame in it. As a republican they need to end this." "Mark between you and I, between you and I, I rather have 4 years of a democratic president and just bitch about it than have 4 more years of this fucking bullshit."

Can I tweet that too?

"Yes go ahead."

Its funny because you said between us.

"Fuck it, they need to know."

Climate change is an emergency.

Healthcare is an emergency.

Flints water system is an emergency.

Regression of civil liberties is an emergency.

Kids being shot in class, is an emergency.

Yet this admin is focused on a manufactured & inflated border crisis that they caused. Their supporters buy it because its packaged perfectly into the "immigrants are boogymen" narrative that they have been using to feel superior without having to stand on accomplishments of their own.

Hating others absolves them from feeling the need to actually better themselves

I need an election lawyer to message me. I have people who are being denied who are registered. Clerk's office is claiming they didn't register in time. However I mailed the forms myself. I know they're wrong. They aren't being given a provisional ballot. Calling the hotline.

Currently listening to my dad talk about George Soros and Hillary Clinton funding antifa and how he regrets voting for Obama twice and how other nations are mad that Trump is bringing jobs back to America... Apparently Obama kissed NAFTA's ass. I think he meant NATO but we went into a discussion about nafta simply being renamed with worse conditions for the average supplier.

He says government stats we're fudged to make it seem like Obama was good & something about trans bathrooms.

THREAD. Share at will.

Trade wars with long standing allies such as Canada and Germany.

Suspending drills with South Korea after talks with NK where we got a "I'll try harder" in return. Gutting the safety net for the most vulnerable among us and cutting off their health insurance.
