@floridagirlkaty That is all over the west. I’ve lived in mountain towns for a long time now. I’ve seen trucks use those runaway roads twice. — PolitiTweet.org

I wrote this long thread to talk about US History, the 1619 project, the nature of the autocratic menace we face and the Culture War Trump’s party is waging.👇 — PolitiTweet.org

What about this as a national driver improvement campaign. All of America’s 16 year olds come to NJ and are required to make two runs. West to east and east to west on Route 22 at rush hour. — PolitiTweet.org

The jug handle is a sign of an advanced civilization. That’s how they programmed us in Drivers Ed. You forgot Boroughs. I grew up in a Borough, not a city, town, township or village. The borough though, was in a State not a Commonwealth and certainly not a Commonwealth Territory — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t change the past but we can learn from it. America’s kids don’t need legislation to protect them from the 1619 project. America’s kids need journalists, pro democracy elected officials and a lot of their parents to wake up, pull their heads out of their asses and realize — PolitiTweet.org

The light is the answer. The truth is the answer. We can face it as a nation because we are strong enough to do it. John Lewis was right when he observed that no matter how we have arrived at this moment together we are in fact all here together now. 15 — PolitiTweet.org

remarkable building scarred from the vicious fighting that raged until Nazism was finally crushed. There is a powerful monument that shows the moment German democracy died. Tucked in a corner is a wall fitted with small plaques naming the elected members of the Reichstag during — PolitiTweet.org

Berlin, covered by a magnificent glass dome is both an architectural marvel and historic treasure. The purpose of the glass is so that darkness can never again find its way to the floor of German lawmaking. The monuments to memory, evil,hate and catastrophe abound around this (12 — PolitiTweet.org

That isn’t history. It’s an obscenity. Healthy free countries don’t build walls to keep their people from leaving and they don’t attempt to erase reality by building an alternate one. Perhaps there is a lesson from Germany. The Modern German Reichstag in (11) — PolitiTweet.org

There was a big budget miniseries in the 1980’s called the North and South. If memory serves, there was one preposterous scene where after the days fighting is done, benign Confederates and their contented slaves meet up for a barn dance with local ladies and northern soldiers. — PolitiTweet.org

people are taking over. They hate you and are going to take your money and job and ruin your life. They hate America and your children. They are trying to indoctrinate them in socialism while bringing more brown and black people from the “third world” to take over. — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP has shrunk dramatically since the 1/6 attack. Right now, today, they are desperately trying to quiet the ceaseless insanity that is plain for all to see and make the murderous insurrection fade away. The entire campaign is fear based. The core of the message is that Black — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s dissect this. This is what Culture War looks like. We do not have a functioning two party system in America. The Republican Party is the vessel of an autocratic cult of personality, hostile to democracy, civil rights and equality that is teeming with menace, extremism and 1 — PolitiTweet.org
