@PattieWalker4 @politicsusa46 @villagefool13 The US is undergoing a stress test called Capitalistic Christo White Supremacy Facism (aka MAGA).

One of the biggest challenges Democrats face is that polarisation is intensifying and for the very first time, Republicans are on a big push to sell the narrative that America is not a democracy, it’s a representative Republic.
It’s called preparing the ground. It’s an open secret that Trump now believes he CAN rule as a dictator. Right wing talking heads will tell you it’s a joke not to be taken seriously to which I say.
TAKE IT F*CKING SERIOUSLY.
This will NOT be a normal election, it may well though be the LAST ELECTION, if Trump is elected. Project 2025 is already well underway.
Listen to Jasmine Crockett spell it out.

Democracy is pretty dang popular as it turns out. Sorry Republicans.

BREAKING AP: Democrats have won full control of Virginia’s legislature — a major victory for the party in a key bellwether contest. Democrats maintained control of the state Senate and flipped the state House, according to the Associated Press.

The new Speaker's suggestion is we simply pray away the gun violence. That's it.
“This is a dark time in America, we have a lot of problems …Prayer is appropriate in a time like this, that the evil can end... So that's the statement this morning."

@DanielMillerEsq Biggest threat to US democracy: money in politics (corporate lobbying, Koch brothers, Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow, foreign countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia).

I’ve spent the last 7 years doing everything I can to fight back against the madness in America. It’s been empowering to know I have skills as an organizer, lawyer, and writer that can help.
But this is the first time I’ve felt like I don’t know what to do… 1/

@reshetz Zelensky produces things far more valuable than cars and rockets: freedom, a defeated dictator/invader and pride.

@Atlanticoncrete @JoJoFromJerz You can’t abort society. If you decide to stay on the sideline, together with many others, at few will shape the game. In a way you probably don’t like. Such a society will benefit those few and will hurt the people at the sideline. This is what’s happing when MAGA gets its way.

@JoJoFromJerz What if you don’t care about any of it & just want the govt to leave you alone?

If you believe that Covid is fake, that Trump won the 2020 election, that JFK Jr is alive, that a book about earthworms makes kids gay, that Jan 6th was a “deep state-antifa-Soros-backed-inside-job-peaceful-protest-tourist-visit”, and that a baseless impeachment inquiry is proof of crimes but 91 criminal indictments are not, then clearly congratulations are in order as you are both an idiot and an asshole.

Trump announces he will not choose anyone currently running for President as his running mate.

Because I come from MAGA, people ask me all the time what made Trump possible. That’s easy.
1. A broken, corrupt two party political system.
2. Out of touch GOP establishment politicians like Mitt Romney.
3. Inflammatory right-wing talkers like me.
It was a perfect storm.

For fuck sake. I seriously don't know how so many ppl are saying ageism, being offended and are taking it this way. I said I'm 40. I said I'm talking to the younger generation. I said your parents (which would include my generation) and your grandparents. You really think I would refer to everyone? Including myself? If I thought everyone who was older was maga then obviously Republicans wouldn't be scared of the youth vote.
Just stop. Use common sense.
Fact: heavy majority gop base is an older crowd.
This is like women saying how men can be abusive and misogynistic. And then you get some insecure guy going "not every guy." Obviously it's not every guy. But women are scared for a reason.
There's a reason why we address the GOP base as being older. If you're not a maga person then you're just getting offended for no reason. I'm clearly talking to the younger crowd that may have a conservative family or right leaning.
I'm trying to talk about a real problem that's going on and I have a number of you trying to make it about yourself by being offended at something that isn't there.
Stop. Just stop.

I'm almost 40. Ive been studying political history and authoritarian movements for years now. To you younger ppl that may follow me or anyone who comes across this. This is the reality of our situation.
Your parents and grandparents have been completely radicalized by a multi billion dollar echo chamber specifically designed to exploit ppl's fears and prep them to undertake anti-democratic actions against their own country. Ready to commit and accept violence as a means to an end. A death cult. You know what I'm talking about. You've seen it with your own eyes.
One of the biggest pieces of shit to hold office was Ronald Reagan. Tho, he was correct when he said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction."
Unfortunately, because of the path he put us on, you are that generation. Forget the culture war. This is what oligarchs use to hide true power. Republicans tell you government doesn't work so therefore it needs to be dismantled but it is them who are actively trying to render our institutions futile. They actively work against your interest and try to blame their opposition for the failure of the government that they are actively destroying. All in an attempt to convince you to give them power to fix it. Only to not relinquish it ever again because they are a dying out party that only represents a minority ruling class that's gasping for air. When anything looks at extinction it will do anything to grasp for life and to protect itself (in this case, power & wealth). You will no longer have a say and your future will be stolen. A reinvented hierarchy predicated on cruelty solely to prop up a ruling class with the law behind them to step on anyone persuing unlimited profits. Only violence will bring back what we once had. That our ancestors fought and bled for.
The American dream all but a nightmare.
You have to understand the gravity of our situation and what such an important crossroad we are at in our history. Literally the future of our country is in your hands.
One of our most revered American icons once said, "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
If this were to stand true you have to come together. You have to organize and get involved. There's a reason why Republicans are trying to make it hard as possible to vote. There's a reason why they want to raise the voting age.
They fear you.
The vote is more powerful then the bullet. Use it while you still can.

@BeschlossDC The Batavians had a saying, "don't give weapons to warriors who can't dance."
In other words: people without a rich emotional "inner live" won't do the right thing with weapons.

@CREWcrew If you want to defeat Trump, there is no point in analyzing his seemingly illogical actions.
His actions are ways to stay in power and accumulate wealth.
To defeat him, you have to prosecute him for criminal behavior (which he sees as outsmarting others).

If Donald Trump truly wants to clear his name and thinks the evidence is on his side, he should be pushing for a speedy trial before the election. politico.com/news/2023/07/1…

Hi! My name is Chris Mowrey. I’m a 21 year old Gen-Z liberal in Georgia. I was born in the heart of midtown Atlanta.
I became passionate about politics when Trump ran for office, and was instantly captivated by his constant lies and the clear threat he posed to our democracy.
TikTok became my outlet, starting during the 2022 midterm elections and trying to add energy to the Gen-Z voting block. I continue to try and find my place in politics by motivating people to vote and bringing passion to the Democratic Party.
In the fall, I’m going back to Kennesaw State University to major in political science. It would mean a lot if you could retweet this and tell me why you’re passionate about politics. 💙
