It's amazing that for all of the "don't call right-wingers racist, it makes them ally with racists who show them respect" hang-wringing, no one seems worried that calling moderate Democrats satanists will actually cause us to ally with satan. https://t.co/LhTgzz9U1A

It's funny how the "respect the dead" crowd never says that to the powerful who ordered the digging of mass graves.

Because, you see, it’s about the frustration with the international economy and their legitimate concerns about the border and stuff like that. https://t.co/tMlTgbswzF

They DID stake out a clear, unified position.

But it was "make teenagers birth their rapists' babies" and "let women die on the operating table" and "jail time for miscarriages"

Do try to keep up 🙄 https://t.co/rLCrFgNISj

I know white Republicans and conservative Democrats who initially cheered Obama's election. They thought it meant they'd no longer have to talk about racism in the U.S. When that didn't happen, they got angry and went the other way. We can't tiptoe our way out of this reality. https://t.co/VzWUlOzsWu

Yes, at some point, Republicans need to clean up their own mess. They don't get to offload this task onto liberals and Democrats (who already are working to defuse authoritarianism more diligently by far than Republicans are). https://t.co/2bGy873RpZ

Voters to the right of center are being asked to support Constitutional democracy. Honor election results, peaceful transfer of power, rule of law. Contest policy within the system.
The only "concession" to make in exchange for that is to do the same. Anything else is extortion. https://t.co/9eM5Mp6pLT

He did it. He defrauded thousands of Americans. It's his whole business model. They used a guy that got blown up in Iraq as the "heroic" face and when he went to jail, Donald Trump pardoned his buddy Steve and let Kolfage rot in jail. Fuck him. Fuck Trump. Go to hell. https://t.co/bhSu2hMV3z

I am continually in awe of the fact that it was these two--these graceful and thoughtful, patriotic, inclusive, well-educated public servants--which ignited a firestorm of grievance from the Right which now threatens democracy itself.

Like, really? This is what you hate? THIS? https://t.co/yZPKsQEovx

How about this: you can choose whether or not to provide health insurance to your employees. But once you offer it, you get to say f’k-all about which procedures, therapies, and medications they receive bc, it’s none of your gd business.

I don't think Barr wants to run for POTUS. He has below-Mike-Pence odds, which is to say none

Barr is taking a gamble that Trump is eventually going to be jailed, and he wants to be known as one of the "good guys" when Rs inevitably pretend none of them ever liked Trump anyway https://t.co/ZId000V4lb
