There is no normalcy and a Pre Covid past to return to. There is only tomorrow and the day after that. Our future is obscured by a thick fog of lies, extremism, cruelty and betrayal of American values. The past is easiest to move beyond when a clear view of the future is at hand. — PolitiTweet.org

“The bad things are disproportionately destabilizing and the good things are insufficiently fortifying” is as profound an observation about this Covid era that I have heard since it started. So many people talk about a “return” to “normalcy”. Nothing ever goes back, only forward. — PolitiTweet.org

with your trip. You did it purposelessly and with premeditation. You are trying to signal the American extreme right that in fact, you are one of them. Fascists always run against the “radical left”. That plus grievance, resentment, racial animus and lies are the forever fuel. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll pass on responding to your dishonest demagoguery in order to ask what you were doing in Budapest? Did you speak out against the anti-semitism of Orban’s Hungary? Did you stand up for American values or did you applaud his media restrictions? You embraced. Hungarian fascism — PolitiTweet.org

CPAC is going to Budapest. Mike Pence was just in Budapest talking about his hopes for the Supreme Court outlawing abortion. Tucker Carlson embraced Orban and his anti Semitic fascist state on Fox prime time. Why are they all going to Hungary? What magnetic force is drawing — PolitiTweet.org

why, when Roosevelt, wearing the heavy, painful braces, that straightened his legs and locked him upright spoke in a great hour of danger, his first words were about fear. He knew his enemy and he knew that hope was his sword in fighting it. — PolitiTweet.org

FDR and his first use of these words “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Why is it that the greatest leader of the 20th Century chose to begin his Presidency with that message at the exact moment Democracies were failing, fascism was ascendant, Hitler was Chancellor — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes famous quotes become jumbled through repetition and time. The words retain their familiarity but the power and deep meaning of them is washed smooth like a rock by the sea. Think about the Pledge of Allegiance being recited by children on a single exhale or think about — PolitiTweet.org
