It’s not “hypocrisy” for McConnell to rush through Trump’s nominee for SCOTUS with an election in 40 days. It’s proof of his power to dominate us all. Fascists prove their power by showing how the rules they enforce *don’t apply to them.* THIS IS HOW FASCISM WORKS. @resign_today
Arguments like "that's hypocrisy" are no longer relevant with the GOP. We're now dealing with a full blown fascist movement. Fascists love the show dominance by flip flopping, denying what they previously said, and laughing in our faces for assuming they could be held accountable
Dominance based expressions of power are valued for their own sake. Policy is no longer relevant. The performance of fascist dominance is all that the base wants. The base no longer cares about their own well being, the future of the country, the own families. Dominance is all.
If we are to effectively counter Trump and the GOP’s takeover of our Republic we must name Trump’s white nationalist fascism and act accordingly should we be fortunate enough to also take control of the Senate. The GOP is gone. We must unilaterally act to protect the vote...
...Add seats to SCOTUS and fill them, purge fascists from the Justice Department, prosecute every single criminal act, end Citizens United, tax the 1%, end the electoral college and more. This must be done unilaterally because the fascist GOP will never stop coming at us.
And statehood for Puerto Rico and D. C. If the Democratic Party shows even the slightest nostalgia for bipartisanship, the white nationalist GOP will sharpen their knives and come at us. We must make sure that our diverse American majority is never silenced again. We mustn't fail
This all assumes we'll even get the chance to try. Please, in the name of god, don't sit this one out. Vote for Biden and then let's hold their feet to the fire for substantive change. I think the Democratic Party knows their very survival depends on making real change.
