This Trump tweet is a LIE — but it’s worth noting that the true part says Biden “won.” If we were Trumplike, we’d quote that part, leave out the BS, and treat it as Trump’s formal concession. But of course he’s never going to concede. It’s irrelevant legally but hurts democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

A GOP official asks: “What’s the downside of humoring him for this little bit of time? No one seriously thinks the results will change.” How stupid. History teaches that “a little undermining of democracy between friends” can turn into a death march. https://t.co/wTLuL5OEG1 — PolitiTweet.org

“Someone will emerge who is better adapted to the chaos [than Trump] and who will wield it in ways that [Trump’s current enablers] neither want nor expect. The myth of victimhood comes home and claims its victims. This is no time to mince words.” — @TimothyDSnyder — PolitiTweet.org

“If you convince your voters that the other side has cheated, you are promising them that you yourself will cheat next time. Having bent the rules, you then have to break them. History shows the danger in the familiar example of Hitler.” — @TimothyDSnyder — PolitiTweet.org

“Reading the 2020 election results as fraudulent will take Republicans, and the country, on a [dangerous] journey, through a cloud of magical thinking toward violence. If you have been stabbed in the back, then everything is permitted.” — @TimothyDSnyder — PolitiTweet.org

“The GOP aims not so much to win elections as to game them. This strategy has its temptations: The more you care about suppressing votes, the less you care about what voters want. And the less you care about what voters want, the closer you move to authoritarianism.” — Tim Snyder — PolitiTweet.org

“The lingering effect of a myth of victimhood can be profound. The German myth of a stab in the back did not doom German democracy immediately. But the conspiracy theory did help Nazis make their case that some Germans were not truly members of the nation.” — @TimothyDSnyder — PolitiTweet.org

“Trump’s ally Newt Gingrich reaches for the worst when he blames a wealthy Jew for something that did not happen in the first place. History shows where this can go.” — @TimothyDSnyder — PolitiTweet.org

“What Trump is saying is false, and Republican politicians know it. If the votes against the president were fraudulent, then Republican wins in the House and Senate were also fraudulent: The votes were on the same ballots.” — @TimothyDSnyder — PolitiTweet.org

“Conspiracy theories, such as the stab in the back, have a force that goes beyond logic. They push away from a world of evidence and toward a world of fears.” — @TimothyDSnyder, author of On Tyranny — PolitiTweet.org

This conclusive demonstration that all Trump's "legal" challenges to the election are totally groundless reaffirms what most of us already suspected. But that leaves the big question: How do we prevent the "big lie" strategy from propagating a massive national delusion? — PolitiTweet.org

Outgoing President Trump on 11/13/20: “This administration will not be going to a lockdown. Hopefully, the — the — whatever happens in the future — who knows which administration it will be? I guess time will tell.” Is our Fantasist in Chief gradually accepting reality? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Of course Trump is lying about Georgia, just as he lies about nearly everything. The tragedy is that tens of millions of his followers either believe every word or don't care what's true and what's false, having left the fact-based world far behind them. What do we do about that? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Pandering to the boogaloo bois isn't just a harmless way Trump uses to pump up his wounded ego; it's a repeat of his signal that they should "stand by" for a possible future call to take up arms against (kidnap? murder?) duly elected political leaders. Outrageous! — PolitiTweet.org

This is something we must look out for as the Trumps and their loyal enablers exit the White House. The mountain of incriminating information that'll fuel civil and criminal lawsuits for a generation must resemble Mt. Everest. Trump will try to burn or shred what he can't steal. — PolitiTweet.org
