🧵 1/ When I say that I'm starting to believe the insurrectionist is above the law and that too many Americans don't seem to care, it's not designed to discourage people to give up, but to deal with a harsh reality. 2/ America witnessed 1/6 with the evidence of our own eyes and ears, yet the insurrectionist leads in the polls. That's insane. Yes. I know polls don't matter, but the rapist shouldn't even be close to winning.

This🧵may upset a few, but from my perspective, the "I won't vote for the lesser of two evils" crowd is almost as bad as the MAGAt cult. They are NOT principled. They are liars. Only one candidate is evil. The insurrectionist who campaigns on becoming America's first dictator. /1 Only one candidate is dangerous. The traitor who promises to dismantle Constitutional norms.
Only one is unfit. The traitor who promises to allow Putin to invade our European allies.
I may not agree with President Biden on everything, but he is NOT evil. /2

1/ @SykesCharlie is correct to note that while he is still their party leader, the crazy in the GQP has metastasized beyond Trump.

With the orange shit stain's defeat, and the aftermath of 1/6, the Republican party had a choice... Repudiate Trumpism, or double down on it. 2/ What did they do? They consciously chose to triple down.

They are fully aware how far they traveled into the mud pit with Trump, it would take decades to properly fix. They know it would take an enormous amount of work for sane/intelligent Americans to trust them again.

1/ At 20, I idealized Rush Limbaugh.

At 25ish, I learned he was an entertainer first and foremost.

At 30ish, believing he was completely out of touch with blue collar America, I rarely listened to him. 2/ At 44, among other things, I deemed him loose with the truth, I vowed never to listen to him again, and never did.

Today, at almost 53, for the last few years, I've noted how Trumpism morphed Rush into Alex Jones.

1/ THREAD. Like it or Trump it, outside of being anti-Obama, the Tea Party Movement had no real ideological identity and allowed populism, nationalism, and fringe conspiracy kookdom to fester. Looking back, this movement was the precursor to Trumpism. 2/ FTR, I went to a TP rally in Orlando in 2009, and I was as critical of what I witnessed then as I am today.

There were some decent speakers (who are now mostly hypocritical "what was bad for Obama is good for Trump" MAGAts), but I was primarily concerned with the populist...

1/ FULL THREAD. Remember. Although many Trump cultists claim to be Conservatives and/or Christians, and scream "LIB-BRUH!" at anyone who dares to criticize him, what makes them a cult is how they do not hold Trump to any standards... 2/ ...shamelessly defend his transgressions against everything they claim to espouse, and go as far as equating their "conservatism, faith, and patriotism" with fealty to the corrupt orange menace.
