2) @GaSecofState, perhaps as a result of wanting to protect himself...as well as American Democracy...learned his lesson after taking a phone call from @LindseyGrahamSC, refused to take Trump's first 18 phone calls (attempts to commit voter fraud). 2/
3) Finally, relenting, and taking Trump's call...... Raffensperger recorded the call and publicized it only after Trump attacked him and the process.
Brad Raffensperger told his advisers he did not want the recording or a transcript of the call released unless Trump attacked him or misrepresented the call. Trump tweeted attacking Raffensperger Sunday morning. https://t.co/mxDSeHYeRZ

Predictably, Trump and the Right Wing Echo Chamber immediately went into gaslighting mode in an attempt to "manipulate the interaction timeline". Here is a breakdown of how it works: 4/
As for the \u201cinteraction timeline\u201d, it comes into play in two ways. First, the narcissist uses it to 1) excuse their own behavior, and 2) to demonize those whose reasonable reaction to the egregious behavior attempts to hold the narcissist accountable, 21/https://t.co/Psb0Dg36mm

JOURNALISTS: Let me help you debunk the lies in the @mattgaetz floor speech about a \u201cfacial recognition company\u201d discovering antifa agitators. It all comes from a fake news article from the notorious Washington Times. I will break it all down for you\u2026https://t.co/alc73605Nm
— Respectable Lawyer (@RespectableLaw) January 7, 2021
This morning, Buzzfeed interviewed XRVision, the facial recognition company mentioned in the Washington Times article who supposedly identified antifa at the capitol. They’re mad, because as I discussed yesterday, they actually identified neo-nazis.
And now there are attorneys issuing a demand for correction and apology, which is the first step in a defamation lawsuit.
But the Washington Times didn’t issue a correction or apology. Instead, this morning it first tried to change the headline from “antifa” to “extremists.”
So @WashTimes quietly changed the headline of its false & viral story (with no correction) after XRVision, the facial recognition firm, said it had actually identified neo-nazis \u2014 not antifa \u2014 storming the Capitol. https://t.co/5bCRshgoB1 pic.twitter.com/Z0a5ZQ3Chk

By noon, the Washington Times just deleted the article.
1/ Yesterday's indictment of Douglass Mackey was deeply satisfying in that a co conspirator that was identified in the indictment ; Microchip. This Alt Right troll targeted me, & many others in 2017

2/ Microchip specifically targeted my account & others for mass reporting efforts by his followers (he offered $5000 per acct suspended by Twitter) and encouraged harassment & threats towards those accounts. Threats of violence were directed at me (it didn't intimidate me)
3/ Additionally in the Mackey indictment, Baked Alaska aka Tim Gionet, was also named . Gionet was recently arrested for his role in the assault on the Capitol building. Now, this indictment of Mackey would seem to be just the beginning, because these guys connect to everyone
4/ For starters Baked Alaska & Microchip connect to this guy, Charles "Chuck" Johnson. He's the redheaded guy , standing on the steps of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London with Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R) , about to meet Julian Assange. We'll get back to JAss later.........,
5/ Baked Alaska & Chuck C Johnson have also been linked to Roger Stone . Hey, there's Roger Stone at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London too. Presumably Roge got lost in London to end up at Assange's bolt hole...........,

Fascism is ideological in ways Trump isn't - Trump is still a danger in terms of democratic backsliding
Let's say all agree Trumpism is fascism. What flows from that?

I advocate precision in categorizing terrorism because it informs strategy. Responding to not-terrorism with counterterrorism can fail or backfire.
What changes if people call Trump "fascist" instead of, say, "bad"? https://t.co/yv9byQWKnR
An important difference between 20th century fascism and 21st century right-wing authoritarian populism is that fascism was explicitly deadset on exposing democracy as bad - people like Orbàn or Erdogan or Trump are fine with the superficial trappings of democracy.
Mussolini shut down true accusations of voter intimidation through the intimidation of his critics, which led to the assassination of Giacomo Matteotti, who had exposed the fascist intimidation at the polls. Trump spread and encouraged conspiracy theories about voter fraud.
Why does this matter? Because right-wing populist supporters make arguments that THEY are the ones defending not just the abstract "will of the people" (that's common in fascism too) but the procedures of democracy itself. They accuse their rivals of authoritarianism.
People like Mussolini or Hitler made no secret that they thought of democracy as decadent and corrupt, not just morally, but politically, as a system. Trump or Erdogan or Orbàn (or to a lesser extent Putin) claim that it's LIBERALISM which is decadent and corrupt.
