I hope the primer below is helpful in decoding the latest in poisonous nonsense from @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy who now says he accepts that Joe Biden is the President of the United States. Since most of the assembled media reacted to this rhetorical slight of hand like defanged — PolitiTweet.org

What does fighting the American nation-state mean? Odd formulation? What are the values and virtues @JDVance1 is talking about? How will the movement destroy? Will it kill? Will it seize assets and impoverish its enemies? Prosecute and imprison them? Vance should be challenged — PolitiTweet.org

Trumps autocratic faction. There have been only three occasions in the last 120 years where the incumbent Presidents party has gained seats in the first midterm. Dems may lose a dozen seats from redistricting. This fight will last a generation and the outcome is unwritten. 6 — PolitiTweet.org

Hostile to democracy, pluralism and the rule of law while being supported by tens of millions of Americans. Each election is now existential.The 22 Mid-Terms will be the first test of the vigilance and fortitude of the Pro-Democracy coalition vs. the resilience and endurance of 5 — PolitiTweet.org

Experiment. The moment demands confrontation between the Truth and Lie. It demands a square reckoning with the nature of the threat that confronts American democracy and puts down the delusional fantasies that Trump isn’t fully in control of a political movement that is deeply 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

There can be no moving on because the absence of accountability means this event remains a clear and PRESENT threat. It is with us. The Republican Party has become the vessel for extremism and autocracy in our decayed and decrepit democracy. It has lost faith with the American 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

What is it that we are supposed to be moving on from regarding January 6th? The ending of the peaceful transition of power that began in 1797? The poisoning of faith and belief in American democracy by Trump and GOP leaders who chose the path of conspiracy, lying and incitement 1 — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP House Conference will seek retribution for this statement tomorrow. They stand opposed to these assertions of conviction and are at war with the assertions of fact. — PolitiTweet.org

Judging by the magnitude of @fordnation incompetence, idiocy and mismanagement in Ontario, I’m thinking that but for the country of his birth, he would have had a real chance of being the GQP nominee in America someday. — PolitiTweet.org

Of the fuel that drives it; grievance, resentment, entitlement, selfishness and dishonesty is poisonous to American democracy. We are in the early years of a most dangerous era. — PolitiTweet.org

The Big Lie will be protected by the permanent lie. It will be guarded by thousands of more lies. The lies will metastasize and become more dangerous. There will be purges aplenty and much scapegoating ahead. Sustainment of the Lie requires monumental effort and the byproduct — PolitiTweet.org

Amazingly tonight’s Special Order was reserved to discuss Cancel Culture. During the peak of House of Cards people would ask me if that’s what DC a was like. I would always respond by saying it was like Veep. It was and it is. — PolitiTweet.org

A long and fascinating read by Dorothy Thompson, she was a pioneering Journalist and a chronicler of Hitlers rise. Her psychological analysis from another time is helpful in understanding the abandonment of American democracy by the elected GOP. https://t.co/tT9WUo4HDJ — PolitiTweet.org

.⁦@elainaplott⁩ has written a masterpiece about the reality of this moment. It shatters the delusions behind so many blind quotes from Mitch McConnell aides in today’s papers insisting that Trump is less relevant every day. https://t.co/otMPs7VTFR — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s unpack it a little more to fully appreciate the ignorance of the Newsmax propaganda shill asking @PressSec the question about @VP greeting the Japanese Prime Minister. The PM is the head of government; not the head of state. The Emperor is the Head of State. The President — PolitiTweet.org

Elise Stefanik is advancing because she is willing to say Trump won the election he lost. She is advancing because she is willing to say the election was stolen by the appearance of millions of fraudulent black votes that appeared in the middle of the night from inner cities. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Elise Stefanik is ascending because of her talent for cynicism and her ease with lying. She is like Mikey from the old cereal commercials except she will say anything. She has submitted to the big lie to advance in the autocratic party that has embraced it. — PolitiTweet.org

Away. His movement is seeking power via elections. We will have a choice. Pretending this isn’t real or it’s all behind us is naive and delusional. In the end, it is what it is. The danger is present still. It will be with us for a long time. — PolitiTweet.org

I call this inclination, the Voldemort strategy. Trump is real, he is present, he is the unquestioned leader of an authoritarian movement supported by tens of millions of Americans. Trump’s authoritarian cult of personality is a grave threat to democracy. He cannot be wished — PolitiTweet.org
