Yep, and the parallels to Nazi Germany, where the same kinds of people supported the Nazi party, are hard to miss. Equating people who didn't finish college with the "working class" is missing the picture. By that defintion, Sean Hannity is working class. https://t.co/abu6RXTqb4

The most vitriolic pushback I get is when I speak out about preserving the estate tax, even though 99.8% of estates owe no tax at all. That is because the people swearing at me online are thinking that I am trying to take away the imaginary money they aspire to make.
I am pissing on the dream of them being my Uncle Walt going from rags to riches in the American Dream. Because the dream is so real to the people who hold it, but so unreal in practical life, the disconnect between how great it sounds and the likelihood of it ever happening ct'd
Several armed groups arrived at state capitols on Sunday, where military vehicles and police barricades lined the streets and officials braced for pro-Trump protests that they feared could lead to violence. https://t.co/utQdtIUv6p

2) When, after all that, Biden is being inaugurated, many will go nuts: the cognitive discord is just too great and they will be convinced that Biden must be stopped. Yes, the fault lies with crazy conspiracy peddlers; but they were given support and legitimacy by the officials.
3) who enabled Trump and supported his lies about the election being stolen FOR MONTHS. What they should have done is spent the last two months defending the elections, telling people the only challenges should be in the courts, preparing people to ACCEPT that Trump fairly lost.
4) By keeping alive popular hopes that Trump could somehow win; by talking up empty court challenges, saying the courts didn't really hear the evidence; by refraining from criticizing Trump's broadcasting of even crazy conspiracy theories; GOP officials THEMSELVES gave reason and
5) motivation for people to riot against certifying Biden's becoming President, and even more to fight the inauguration of a "false" President. It will be very hard to undo months of lies to this effect coming from the top levels of the GOP and US Government. ALL GOP who did

Two years ago, the great people of Wisconsin asked me to endorse a man named Brian Hagedorn for State Supreme Court Justice, when he was getting destroyed in the Polls against a tough Democrat Candidate who had no chance of losing. After my endorsement, Hagedorn easily won!...

Axios has some spectacular reporting on Trump's plan to steal the election. Read it all, but this bit was especially incriminating: https://t.co/EfLKPZn0eJ pic.twitter.com/CqMjEPIaVs

2/ Ohio and Texas counted vote by mail early so those states would misleadingly seem stronger for Biden than they would prove to be when all votes were counted. The reverse would be true in Michigan and Pennsylvania. We’d been reporting this for weeks to prepare viewers.
3/ Trump knew this too and it was clear he intended to mislead the country by declaring the election decided before all the votes had been counted.
What I think many of us didn’t realize is the extent to which some Republicans and MAGA media would help him perpetuate this lie.
4/ This was one of the reasons that lawsuit from the Texas Attorney General was such utter garbage. There were a lot of just plain lies in that lawsuit, which the US Supreme Court rightly kicked to the curb, but this was one of the starkest.
5/ The suit claimed the “probability” of Biden “winning the popular vote in... Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — independently given President Trump’s early lead in those States as of 3 a.m. on November 4, 2020, is less than one in a quadrillion.”
Pay attention to this timestamp. there is a second Tweet in this thread....

Here's the URL to that story. Notice something about the end of it? https://t.co/KTpdsjl0Mz sections/congress-electoral-college-tally-live-updates/ 2021/01/06/953616207/ diehard-trump-supporters-gather-in-the-nations-capital-to-protest-election-resul
The end of the URL often encodes a page's original headline. And in this case that looks like "diehard-trump-supporters-gather-in-the-nations-capital-to-protest-election-resul" not the violence piece.
Via the Wayback Machine we can get a snapshot of it from about when it was published, and yep, a different headline. https://t.co/38O7tynorf
Why is that? Well news organizations often run a story in the morning and update it throughout the day as events unfold. When events change substantially, they often change the headline as well.
Donald Trump will not be president in precisely 48 hours.

If people were to pay more attention to @benFranklin2018 & take their words seriously, we'd be in a far better place. They argue that posts that one that this tweet is responding to are cringe & instill a false sense of complacency & security. Those voices are promoted on MSM.
This is b/c they don't want to promote any panic among the American people. They also realize that the same corporations serve Trump as them, hence we have a fascist threat.
Something that I notice too is that those who are the most likely to deny that Trump's coup is still going on & that it has a dangerous level of succeeding are white & older. P.o.C & younger people are not as likely to deny the problem.
The part to keep in mind is that older people & white people are more likely to benefit from a Trump dictatorship &/or be indoctrinated w/American exceptionalism. In terms of our gov't, there is no comparison b/t the 1960's & today. Today, our gov't is authoritarian.
Remember, that for pandemics as well as for climate change, "Speed trumps perfection". Stop obsessing about "optimality". There is nothing optimal about responding to a pandemic or to climate change, just move as fast as you can.
Wow

Hey look, the GOP (not Trump) hamstrung the Obama Administration's effort to build up strategic reserves to fight pandemics going as far back as 2011:
Hey look, there was a pandemic response plan developed by national security officials in 2016, which Trump and the GOP ignored:
EXCLUSIVE: White House national security officials prepared a \u201cpandemic playbook\u201d \u2014 a step-by-step guide to ensure testing, check on workers\u2019 equipment, even consider the Defense Production Act.

Hey look, Trump and the GOP disbanded the pandemic response unit in 2018:

How can in the world someone forget about their experiments on human

And more
