They are praying for the vast majority of people in this country to be worn down and dispirited by it all. That is how the extremists win. The very first thing they have to accomplish is make us forget who we really are as an American people in 2021. The night before his murder — PolitiTweet.org

to stay in office forever by picking their voters. The result is political leadership that looks like the blend of performative buffoonery and idiocy as well as the very real nihilism and malice of men and women like @GOPLeader, @tedcruz @RepMTG, @mattgaetz ect……. — PolitiTweet.org

In every American community there are acts of inspiration and examples of mercy, grace, forgiveness, redemption and service that exist apart from our toxic and rancid politics/media/social media culture. We mostly see images of snarled and angry faces on our screens. Where are — PolitiTweet.org

I think there is another cost to our society around the Rittenhouse trial and it is the warping affect of the constancy of media coverage around the worst of us at the cost of ignoring the best of us. All across America there are stories of good people doing heroic deeds. — PolitiTweet.org

An American jury found that Rittenhouse was not a murderer. That doesn’t change the fact that he is a killer. He destroyed families and lives. He is a disgusting figure perfectly matched for the @TuckerCarlson’s of the world who will exploit and use him to make money — PolitiTweet.org
