I think most of the focus on this era among historians will be on how crazy it was that an entire political party was on board with a game show host’s coup attempt.

I read that 71% of Republicans believe that Trump did nothing wrong
Years ago, whenever I entered the USA, I had to sign a declaration that I was not intending to overthrow the
American government by force
I never realised that this applied only to foreigners

No surprise Trump doesn’t want you to see the J6 Committee evidence. Here’s the GPO website with transcripts, documents, exhibits & our meticulously sourced 800+ page final report. Also links to our hearings. Might be a good time to watch those again. govinfo.gov/collection/janua…

Imagine if ordinary Americans actually knew this.

I am beginning to think that DeSantis's opposition to military aid to Ukraine is not a product of being anti-war
Ron DeSantis is threatening drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico. He's vowing blockades of Mexican ports and escalated lethal force at the border.
I talked to Mexico's ambassador to the US during the Trump years about this. It got interesting. 1/

Weird how all the people who didn’t want to impeach Trump because “the courts were the right place to hold Trump accountable” are now ALSO against the courts prosecuting Trump. It’s almost as if maybe they never wanted to hold Trump accountable in the first place….

The history of the Trump era is the cautionary tale of what happens when you don’t prosecute white collar crime. White collar criminals, from Trump to Manafort, keep crime-ing.

The same white people who demanded that President Obama show his birth certificate and Colin Kaepernick salute the flag are the ones who think Donald Trump should be able to commit crimes with impunity. They never believed in America. They believe in white supremacy.

I think this is essentially correct. When one party is psychotic, we already have effectively lost democracy. It’s like being told your lunch options are grilled cheese or arsenic. There’s really only one choice, however much you hate grilled cheese.
The problem with "vote for us to save Democracy" is not just that it's disingenuous after spending millions to bolster far-right candidates in GOP primaries. It's that it's no-choice politics and voters react badly when you announce they're stuck with you. joshbarro.com/p/the-problem-…

BREAKING: We won! For the first time since 1869, a public official has been ordered removed from office under the 14th Amendment for participating in the January 6th insurrection. Much more to come very soon.

Someone awesome put together a parody site offering "Hate Offsets" so you can "rainbow wash your sins away."
Please RT this until it goes so viral that Cloudflare PR has to seriously answer questions about whether they actually offer "Hate Offsets."

Zero. It’s zero other presidents. Classification has really only existed since FDR; show me ONE other president who did anything like this? There isn’t one.

Editors at @ThePlaindealer refused to abide by the ridiculous rules imposed on journalists trying to cover a rally for J.D. Vance featuring Ron DeSantis. cleveland.com/news/2022/08/w… So they didn't write about or photograph it. But they did publish this graphic: white space with an X.
