8/ Maybe, it was a long overdue exclamation and declaration that black and American culture are synonymous and unseverable. The people who hate that idea, saw it that way and that is why they are screaming today. Have no doubt about that. — PolitiTweet.org

7/ A lot of good folks don’t like seeing a shiny white piano on the 50 yard line. Last night might have just been 15 minutes of fun and a chance for me to taunt my kids about the greatness of Gen X as the best and coolest or it might have been something else. — PolitiTweet.org

6/ It seems, at casual glance, the political extremists who are lying about Trump winning the election, life saving vaccines, and a thousand other things are the very same people fulminating about 15 minutes of Hip Hop at the Super Bowl. I get it. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ I dream of living in a land where a murderous insurrection to overthrow the 245 year old American Republic and install a dictator arouses the citizenry like people dancing at the Super Bowl. Amazingly, I think I may have stumbled upon something interesting. — PolitiTweet.org

4/ They saw a beautiful, vibrant and joyful culture that wouldn’t stop dancing and singing no matter the bleakness of the oppression. The scolds knew exactly what Presley was appropriating and they went nutso, just like all of their descendants frothing about Mary J Blige. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ Degenerate Art is the term the Nazi’s used 100 years ago to wage culture war. When Elvis Presley shook his hips on TV millions of Americans who stood with the cause of spitting on black kids going to school thought they recognized something in the movement. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ minutes of joy, nostalgia and culture that exploded across America at the mid point of a great Super Bowl could not just be left alone. “Sexual Anarchy!!!” Proclaimed the disordered young fascist, Charlie Kirk, Reichjungendfuhrer, of Trump’s extremist movement. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The Super Bowl half time show will probably be the high water mark for Gen X. The 15 minutes we got to rule! Since we live in a hyper politicized era that is teeming with vitriol, contempt, racial malice, extremism, anger violence and a spreading toxic bloom of autocracy the 15 — PolitiTweet.org

The halftime show was great. The ads, on the other hand were, with a couple exceptions AWFUL. Worst I can remember. The Crypto ads reminded me of all of the DOT Com ads from SUPER BOWL 30 something two decades ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I always suspected it, but apparently inside every young fascist is an INCEL struggling to break free. The 1920’s and 1930’s Nazis called it “Degenerate Art”. Life is a circle — PolitiTweet.org

escalation of the war Putin began with his illegal seizure of Crimea. The Chinese are watching carefully, with Taiwan 🇹🇼 in their sights. Naked aggression for territorial expansion, political control and cultural subjugation cannot be appeased. It must be turned into a disaster — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Putin’s invasion will begin a catastrophe that will unfold in many different and unpredictable ways. It will be blood soaked. The Ukrainians must be given the lethal aid and cash to fight the Russian Bear. Successful aggression will beget more aggression as is evidenced by this — PolitiTweet.org

must be protected at all costs. This is the monstrous prelude to the world imagined in the recent joint Russian-Chinese communique. The combined economic might of the Democracies precisely targeted can destabilize Putin domestically. In short, make him bad for business. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

This is an excellent thread about what the Russians will do in response to the massive economic retaliation that must come. It will not be free for the West. In fact, it may be painful. However, it is the unraveling of the global order that emerged from the Second World War that — PolitiTweet.org

@LesPaul60 @mehdirhasan What do you think we would see that we don’t know already? Stressed and overworked First responders? Exhausted MD’s and RN’s? Unnecessary death? The hum of ventilators? Crying? Praying? I get it. The people in the beds are unvaccinated. That is what put them there. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@2old2fool @RadioFreeTom @mehdirhasan It is a tragedy. Is it an emergency? No, It is a choice. There is a vaccine. It is a free country. The job of government from my perspective is to protect us from each other, not ourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@51_sdwms @PatrickW @RadioFreeTom @mehdirhasan I am sorry for your loss and his family. He would be alive if he had taken the vaccine. He did not. I don’t understand the causality between his death and mandates on vaccinated individuals. — PolitiTweet.org

@xpflyr The American people on the home front didn’t suffer much during the Second World War. It was a full employment economy and by the time the war ended the American economy was the most dominant economic power in human history — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@mehdirhasan I guess I’m trying to understand what you would like to see maintained or imposed or mandated and by what level of authority. It’s unclear to me. I’m with you on all of the insanity that has brought us to this point. In the end everything requires cooperation and we’ve peaked. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@JulieGrey13 no. Americans should be leaving Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@ExistentialYowl Who do you think is responsible for that and what do you think the remedy is. Part one for me is the unvaccinated population and most acutely the instigators of the misinformation. — PolitiTweet.org

and events only move forward. Our Covid Present needs to yield to something new and better. The malice and incompetence of the conspiracy theorists and politicians who killed hundreds of thousands unnecessarily should never be forgiven or forgotten — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

rally the whole to a common effort, request sacrifice and maintain basic trust. I share @mehdirhasan’s anger and disbelief about all of this but I think asking what comes next with all of this isn’t unreasonable. Nothing will go back to normal if for no other reason that time — PolitiTweet.org

our politics by giving succor to the dishonest autocratic cause that feels more emboldened to lie and gaslight with each passing day. We live in an era where our politicians generally lack the stature to unite the nation, communicate the requirements of citizenship and duty, — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

We are going to need to get back to some live and let live in this country. We are going to need to figure out how to give each other some space and benefit of the doubt. The restrictions on daily life must come to an end if for no other reason that they are further destabilizing — PolitiTweet.org
