We are witnessing an act of defiance in the name of the truth and it is awesome to see. # — PolitiTweet.org

Present who seeks a return to power in our immediate future. It’s past time to wake up to the dangers of this man and his movement. That is why the @Liz_Cheney story matters. In the end there was only one amongst them who would not bow to the lie and stood tall for the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Why does any of this matter? All of this is being done in the name of a political movement and that movements leader. The leader is Donald Trump and there are no statementsmore naive, stupid and delusional than those that seek to dismiss him as “ former...”. He is a figure of our — PolitiTweet.org

The question that rattled around my head the most during the last months is this, Can a country without a memory survive? The events of January 6th didn’t happen 40 years ago. They happened less than four months ago. Looking away from those events guarantees we will have more — PolitiTweet.org

The BIG LIE is now dogma within the Republican Party which means that tens of millions of Americans believe they live under an illegitimate occupation. The Big Lie will fuel extremism, bigotry and political violence in the years ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

All Republicans in good standing must submit to the BIG LIE and with it commit to permanent lying. Out of the BIG LIE have come hundreds of pieces of legislation aimed at restricting voting rights for Black and Brown Americans.7) — PolitiTweet.org

That is the story and it is an essential one. The BIG LIE requires nourishment and sustainment from a poisonous ecosystem of thousands of other lies. They build on each other like a metastasizing cancer that assaults the pillars and foundations of American democracy without mercy — PolitiTweet.org

Crowd size being larger. It is the inevitable result of a political party that has stripped any pretense of ideas from its platform and replaced them with requirements of obedience and loyalty to the leader. @Liz_Cheney has refused to submit to the lie. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The BIG LIE is a political lie and it is a lie of authority. It requires submission and surrender from all who wish to be in good standing within the autocratic movement. The lie about the stolen election exists in a straight line from Spicers day one lie about the smaller 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

This Lie poisoned faith and belief in the legitimacy of American Democracy between November 3rd and January 6th. It was the foundation of the murderous insurrection that was incited by Trump, Hawley, Cruz, McCarthy, Fox News, NewsMax, OAN, ect on January 6th. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

2. What is the BIG LIE ? It is the following. Donald Trump won the 2020 election. The election was stolen in the dead of night when millions of votes ( Black votes) appeared out of the ether from America’s inner cities and made Joe Biden the illegitimate winner. 2) — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The coverage around the purging of @Liz_Cheney from the House GOP Leadership has been generally awful in that it has largely missed the point about what is happening and why. Rep. Cheney will not debase herself and her Oath and submit to THE BIG LIE. Period. Full stop. 1) — PolitiTweet.org

I simply wanted to say thank you to more people than I can count before I offered some thoughts about Liz Cheney and what we are witnessing in Washington DC. That will be the next series of tweets. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Shared some of my story. Thank you. It was deeply humbling to read so many notes from people sharing their stories and struggles about depression. I’ll write about that in the weeks ahead and share more of my story with the hope that it might help someone navigate difficult days. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m going to write some more very soon about the time I took off from social media, the books I read and some observations that inevitably come with space and distance away from all consuming endeavors. I was overwhelmed by the kindness shown me by so many people when I — PolitiTweet.org

Promise of America. We must fight for it or we will lose it under the fusillade of lies, conspiracies and old poisons that boil in a seething stew of grievance, victimization, entitlement and self pity that fuel Trump’s anti democratic extremist movement that is alive and well — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is out of power but we are not out of danger. The movement that he leads is formidable and the dangers it presents us are considerable. The political battles ahead will be shaped by ideas. There is no idea more powerful and no goal more worthy of reaching than the — PolitiTweet.org

.@TuckerCarlson knows all of this and so do the White Nationalists, Neo Nazis and Neo Fascists that are now overtly part of the extremist, violent, Un-democratic, “America First Movement” that remains a grave threat to American democracy and is indisputably led by Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
