In a new interview with @chaunceydevega in @Salon, I talk at length about many of the same topics President Obama addressed last night, and sound as an intense an alarm about where we are. https://www.salon.com/2020/08/18/democratic-insider-simon-rosenberg-trump-is-being-coached-by-putin-to-seize-power/
I don't think we yet have our arms around extent of the cheating we're seeing in this election. It's massive in scale, happening on many fronts, much more than USPS.
We didn't understand it in 2016 and it cost us the election. Can't let it happen again. https://www.ndn.org/blog/2020/08/taking-trump%E2%80%99s-ongoing-assault-our-democracy-seriously

This thread goes through all the ways Trump is cheating - it's just jawdropping in its disregard for the rules, laws, norms which make our democracy work. In of itself it's a betrayal without peer in US history. https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1291717857852760065
But what worries me most is the argument he makes here in the infamous "I love Q" remarks yesterday from the White House. Listen to the whole clip.
From the White House, as President, he says he's on a mission to save the world from the Radical Left. https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1296215253630550017

On July 4th, from the White House, the President said: "American heroes defeated the Nazis, dethroned the fascists, toppled the communists....and chased down the terrorists.....We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators...
The speech the President gave on July 4th was a declaration of war by the US govt against his domestic opponents. This is a direct call for government violence against US citizens, political violence, a "crackdown." And he repeated it yesterday. https://www.ndn.org/blog/2020/07/facing-dark-turn-trumps-presidency-head
My point is that Trump is already America's Putin. It's happened already - it's not something to happen in November. He has an ideology - "am saving the world from the Radical Left" - which justifies any action (killing USPS, confiscating votes, etc). https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1296168094625341440
We have to do 2 things now - win a free and fair election, and fight the cheating, the illiberalism.
Biden, DNC, Govs, State AGs, Congress have to come together now, fight his illicit efforts to stay in power.
State AG's stepped up. More is needed. https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1296197231855509505
