Here it is in open view. If you believe that you & your allies can not & will not lose an election--at all--under any circumstances--you do not believe in democracy. You do not believe in free & fair elections. You do not care about what voters -- US citizens -- want. You care only about power.

Unbowed by Jan. 6 Charges, Republicans Pursue Plans to Contest a Trump Defeatwww.nytimes.com Mr. Trump’s allies are preparing to try to short-circuit the election system, if he does not win.

The Republican line now is that the shooting was caused by Dems saying Trump is a threat to democracy, and they’re doing that because it’s a big and true thing they want Dems to stop saying.

And this is how fascism wins. It convinces moderates to stop using the correct language to name what our enemy is and make no mistake. Trump and the Republicans are a fascist anti-democratic enemy to every real American who believes in the Constitution and rule of law. Do not stay silent.

First 24 hours are ideal conditions for bad media: * Interest in the facts is off the charts, but there is only a handful of them * Bad actors fill the unmet demand * Civiltarians try to silence political discussion * Both sides bromides roar to life * Memory itself is now said to be in bad taste

Sure wish all those vermin poisoning the blood of America would done down the violence-encouraging rhetoric.

I really, really wish the tone was: this guy whipped up violence with his rhetoric for years and now he’s reaping the whirlwind.

The GOP is going all in on "if you call Trump a fascist you're endorsing and causing political violence" and these feckless fucks in the media are just furrowing their brows with performative concern and going along with it. Jfc

My sense from the old canon was that Star Wars technology had been in a frozen state for thousands of years. The only exceptions were big guns like the Death Star and Starkiller base.

They just need to make a call one way or the other, get the party to fall in line, and move on. I'd even be fine with Biden saying "I'm 81 with a stutter. I'm done with debates. I'm going to spend the next 4 months outlining the literal fascist playbook that he's going to enact vs what we've done."

the fact that some polls are showing upticks for Biden shows how little any of us understand what’s going on. the debate may have had little or no effect, but also the subsequent media handwringing may have had little or no effect. it’s possible everyone is at least partially wrong about this

I can’t get a straight answer to the “When do you conclude it didn’t work, has all been wasted effort, and finally stop damaging your own candidate?” question. Mostly seems to be: “not gonna stop” as if a Trump victory would only prove they were right to wreck Biden’s chances seeking an alternative

Not big on labels but when a person does not have a neurodegenerative disease according to detailed medical studies, it seems pretty wrong to keep implying he does

as a politics knower I think the democrats should simply do the thing that makes it easiest to win, but also aligns with both all my prior posts and all my most panicked recent posts. this is very simple and obvious.

Biden should go on Hot Ones, tbh. idk if it'd help him. I just think he should do it.

It makes me feel very much unmoored from reality to see all this *buying into* the Biden Too Old ratfuck narrative, days after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump gets to be dictator for life, just weeks after Trump became a convicted felon (oh, and there’s the Epstein stuff that just came out).

It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

You're either voting for Joe Biden, or you're never voting again.

I know it is useless to argue with these people, which is why I block them immediately instead.

Kaitlin Has Had Enough

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them
