I’m very concerned about the direction of this country. The far right turning a blind eye on Trump & his complicit cronies is dangerous. So is what’s happening on the far left. https://twitter.com/JohnCleese/status/1271535485467283457

My family fled a country decimated by Communism—their lives were literally at stake as educated citizens. My grandparents say what’s happening now is eerily similar to the beginning stages of the likes of the Khmer Rouge & other oppressive forces. https://twitter.com/bretweinstein/status/1276918793130790912?s=21 https://twitter.com/BretWeinstein/status/1276918793130790912
I def have strong opinions but I try to reach across the aisle as much as possible. Mostly, I believe we need to be morally consistent, & turning blind eyes when members of our own group do wrong makes us exactly the thing we fight.

These “woke” activists would rather argue to the death about the 1% in which we may disagree than to unite on the 99% in which we are aligned. It’s idiotic & exhausting. The purity tests are just excuses for us to eat our own. If we didn’t learn from 2016, then we’re doomed.

We have to be intellectually honest and morally consistent or else we become the very thing we claim to be fighting. https://twitter.com/kaj33/status/1283183309556609024
Long but a must if you want to really be “woke.”

“Radicalism of all kinds will spread, on the right as well as the left, because America will find itself deeply enmeshed in [a] death spiral... a form of negative politics ...political scientist Roger Eatwell has called ‘cumulative extremism.’” https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/10/left-and-right-are-radicalizing-each-other/616914/
I know the easy answer is to just accuse all Trump voters of being racist as to absolve our own blinders & shortcomings... but the Democratic Party needs to do some serious introspection of its own. There’s no reason it should’ve been this close _again_ given the past 4 years. https://twitter.com/zachandmattshow/status/1324518032719433728

Imo it should’ve never been this close given the past 4 years. But, bc it is, we should not dismiss it lest we want to repeat the same fights every election cycle.
Both parties need to move away from extremism, & both need major retooling moving forward. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/our-two-minority-parties/

We need to take a hard look in the mirror if we want to grow, improve, & bring more Americans into the Democratic fold.
