This requires action across multiple fronts.
The Republican Party is an authoritarian power structure.
For decades, it embraced greedy nihilists in order to win elections.
In the last 10+ years, a well-funded insurgency has infiltrated and captured it.
They are now threatening & purging any remaining opposition.
This requires action across multiple fronts.
-Bills to eliminate the GOP’s counter-majorian control (voting security, eliminating vote suppression)
-Exposing dark money networks who are funding them (forcing transparency for anonymous shell companies)
This is moving us in the right direction, and shows that they get what needs to be done here. This is good.
There are three areas that still concern me, that I have been trying to call attention to...
Many changes that we need to enact may be thwarted by a judicial branch that is controlled by private interests and authoritarian elements.
Example - what happens if they use the courts to enshrine *rights* for anonymous shell companies? https://t.co/qWVm061TQ6

Two days after the insurrection, SCOTUS quietly took up a case by Charles Koch\u2019s AFPF.
Suing former CA AG Xavier Becerra, AFPF claims that requiring anonymous shell companies to routinely disclose their donors is a violation of their rights.https://t.co/IYv7Qr59xZ
This may be the solution, and it may be enough.
But it still concerns me, as I am not sure if it is aggressive enough.
IMO, we also need to review impeachable activities.
These need to be investigated, along with Ginni Thomas’ involvement in efforts against the US government.
Impeachable?
The GOP insurgents are emboldened by the power they have now.
If we can expel Senators who had roles in the insurrection (via 14th amendment), this may allow decent GOP to act & vote.
This is about finding the truth, determining whether specific people acted in support of an insurrection against the United States, and enforcing the law and the constitution without fear or favor. Period.
Unsure how likely this is.
Even so:
A) We should still hold officials accountable, and
B) We should be working on multiple fronts (plan Bs), and not placing all our eggs in one basket (our opponents don’t).
This is a harder issue to tackle, without trampling 1A protections, but we have seen that lawsuits work very well (e.g. Dominion).
We need more of that.
There is also no easy way for public officials to sue media outlets.
Can we do that? I don’t know. https://t.co/zTh8iPaI9B
The fact that public officials can\u2019t sue for slander/defamation seems like a pretty big loophole that is easy for bad actors to exploit.
— ClearingTheFog (@clearing_fog) February 15, 2021
Do any of the rest of us have any standing to sue on public officials\u2019 behalf, just to correct the record and discourage this? https://t.co/7iKJbyJcIJ
Authoritarian support depends on having enemies.

Thirty three years ago, Republican Party leadership began teaching conservatives to hate and fear liberals.

His moderate & unifying approach to politics, while still enacting progressive policies that help working class Americans, completely short circuits right wing fear mongering about ‘evil socialist plots.’

But we have to be helpers here also.
We have to show our friends and neighbors who we are.
Some may be too far gone to ever turn back, but you may be surprised.
We need to connect with the elephant before addressing the rider. https://t.co/asioXZFKYT

The emotional part of us - the \u201clizard brain\u201d if you will - is like an elephant. And our logical brain/cortex is just a rider on that elephant.
We like to think that the rider is making all the decisions, but it\u2019s rarely true. https://t.co/A2vZrklyvq

Imagine, for a moment, the reaction of the UK Government, Brexiters, and the RW UK press if Juncker, Tusk, Macron or Merkel went on TV to say that Brexit was worth it to stop Freedom of Movement for UK citizens, and to stop Brits being able to come to the EU and jump the queue.
