These sound like political rhetoric to many but to those capable of this violence- just like we saw with Q anon they don’t need an explicit endorsement they just need to look for “signs” of why trump is “really” saying which they read as a call to arms. — PolitiTweet.org

By saying things like “they’re rapists, they’re murderers” “grab them by the pussy” “it’s time to take ‘our’ country back” “there’s bad guys on both sides” (when literally one side is nazis) “proud boys stand back and stand by” — PolitiTweet.org

Every rational American on the left and right knows these are lies the problem isn’t so much us- it’s extremist leaders in the Republican Party like Trump and others who don’t counter these lies and may not be saying them as directly but reinforce them with their rhetoric. — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t believe me? I’ve read these mass shooters manifestos they many say some version of the same thing- immigrants are destroying our country, the white race is being obliterated, typically there’s some section on how much they hate women, and more hateful bs — PolitiTweet.org

@Valentine721 It was we passed the first gun law in 30 years and got billions for mental health funding — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

but it only takes a few and they have been told for years that “immigrants are coming to destroy and take ‘our’ country” are most stupid enough to believe that? No of course not but it only takes a few disgruntled at risk (mostly young white men with guns) who believe him — PolitiTweet.org

The gun industry and NRA has told people for years that guns are for fighting a tyrannical government and now we have more people armed than ever and a former president who literally says the election was stolen from him. Do the vast majority of GOP or Americans believe him? No — PolitiTweet.org

Luckily there’s a lot of stuff that gets prevented sometimes literally right before it happens that the public never knows about. But the possibility of this happening is still deeply concerning. As we know from the mistakes made with Parkland, law enforcement is far from perfect — PolitiTweet.org

Luckily there’s a lot of stuff that gets prevented sometimes literally right next fire it happens that the public never knows about. But the possibility of this happening is still deeply concerning. — PolitiTweet.org

So far these shooters have typically acted on their own but I’m afraid if they aren’t already they will soon start collaborating. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

My greatest fear is these radicalized young men stop acting on their own and start collaborating through groups like the National socialist movement and/or proud boys for a mass terror attack. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

So far they have acted on their own but there are many of them and they are heavily armed and want the same thing- a male dominated, white ethnostate. They have been radicalized online and by cable news into believing there is a literal “white genocide” in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I do not think near enough Republicans, Democrats or law enforcement realize how close we could be to a coordinated mass terrorist attack in the United States by these young, heavily armed white nationalists. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I’ve been extremely hesitant to say this because I don’t want to see it happen but I feel like I have to- let me be clear I’m not an expert but I’m deeply worried we could be on the edge of something far worse happening than we’ve already seen. I’m worried it will if we don’t act — PolitiTweet.org

The next shooter is plotting his attack right now and a couple Democratic senators are sitting on their hands like there’s nothing they can do about it when they have the power to abolish the filibuster. Fucking shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

You know if we really want to go with “history and tradition” no one should have a gun more powerful than a musket. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

None of this ends until we elect enough senators to abolish the filibuster, pass comprehensive gun reform and then unpack the court trump packed when they strike it down. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

The American people left and right want the same thing- safety. No Republican, gun owner or Democrat wants gun violence to continue. The divided people in our country on addressing gun violence are 100 senators. We must demand they act because this is the cost of their inaction. — PolitiTweet.org

The democratic establishment will will never take us as seriously as we need them to until we start changing it by voting in primaries and winning them by running smart, competent, pro-climate, pro-union, pro-safety, anti-corruption candidates. We can’t do that if we don’t vote. — PolitiTweet.org

8.) Power is grown over decades of voting for the best candidates in primaries and then blue no matter who. It should be obvious but the solution to growing our power isn’t to diminish it by not voting. It’s to vote for the best candidate and hold them accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

7.) The solution is NOT to stop voting which would literally be the worst possible thing we could do. It will ensure the only people who stay in power are Dems who refuse to abolish the filibuster and republicans. We need to grow our lead in the senate and keep the house. — PolitiTweet.org

6.) When hardcore conservatives didn’t like the Republican Party in the 1960-70s their solution wasn’t to stop voting it was the opposite. It was voting WAY more in primaries and growing the power of their vote. They turned out every election for decades and that brought us here. — PolitiTweet.org

4.) Don’t like the candidates? vote in the primary and if you don’t like those candidates either get someone better to run in 2024 tell them to go here https://t.co/PBmUxkpE5q 5.) There are young people running like @NabeelaforIL @RayReedMO @MaxwellFrostFL they need your votes — PolitiTweet.org

1.) It’s one day every 2 years 2.) It’s a tool we have in our tool box to create change- we can’t afford to not use every tool we have 3.) If it didn’t change anything they wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop us — PolitiTweet.org

Thread I understand how tone deaf it sounds to say we need to keep voting but it’s important to remember a couple things- — PolitiTweet.org

We need to vote like hell in primaries to elect Dems who have an actual plan beyond doing that isn’t just doing yoga, singing poems and then asking for $15. Then we vote blue no matter who in the general and get better Dems running in every race we can in 2024 — PolitiTweet.org
