We are here because Democrats and the mainstream media took too long
None of this happened overnight
We saw corruption, in public, on TV before he even got to the White House and both the Dems and the MSM told us to wait....for the Mueller Report.

When Mueller turned out to be a coward, the MSM and Congress were like âYou cant indict a sitting president, so itâs up to....Congress.â
To fill the time before impeachment they had talking feds on TV telling us to trust *institutions.* Wittes was on there saying Barr was ok

Even during the Mueller report the MSM tried to sell us Rod Rosenstein. Dont fire him, Trump. He is a good fed

Even when Barr was up there saying âtotal exoneration,â Weissmann didnt even say what he said two days: that
Mueller didnt do enough aka the Report was a colossal failure https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/andrew-weissmann-book-mueller-trump/2020/09/21/6a7967e8-fc10-11ea-b555-4d71a9254f4b_story.html

*two days ago
So the MSM bit their tongue calling the GOP the âalt right, misinformation, Trumpism, a populist,â fighting about whether we should say fascism or concentration camps outloud, pearl clutching about norms..in an historical context.
Ah yes, history.
Ah yes, history.
Give us historical context for this bootleg reality TV fascist, Spiro Agnew ?

Meanwhile, it was the MSM who tried to normalize Bush, the sweet pea, candy passing painting war criminal, even as Trump was up there at the SOTU 2018 saying âenemy combatant.â
The road to Trump was paved with the Neo-Cons aka Dubya. Trump didnt happen in a vacuum.

Mistakes were made
To be fair, failures were made.
The failure of waiting too long to recognize fascism and call it that.
Putting trust in the wrong cowardly feds to reign in a tyrant
The career opportunism to not use such a strong word to describe what is happening

Speaking of career opportunism, Roger Ailes.
There would be no President Trump without Roger Ailes
There is guilt by association. There will forever be an asterisk next to the names of folx who took his help for their careers.
Also, there is no Trump w/out Laura Ingraham

Why is there an asterisk? Bc the same lack of moral clarity that took the help of Roger Ailes is the same lack of moral clarity that didnât speak up forcefully, with the raw truth in time
Every time fascism or white supremacy came up it was called âTrumpism, Trumpiness,â

or any variation of whatever softens the landing.
Everything took too long: whether it was for career opportunism or just a fail bc of bad decisions, putting trust in cowardly feds (also career opportunists) who made the same decisions for career reasons as the MSM who failed us

The American people, we go to work everyday. We peacefully go to the streets when itâs called for. We have been going @activistwonk
We have been doing our part
We relied on Congress, the MSM and some career opportunist feds to give us the info
Well, it was bad information.

But still we persisted. We could have had a revolution.
If the electors were going to pick Trump and not even count the ballots then Trump could have had a formidable opponent with Bernie, with the right ideas at the right time and a whole intersectional movement behind him

We would have fought for something instead of against fascism
But yâall made it about snake
emojis and super highlighted some trolls who were denounced by the campaign for bullying
Now we have to put in work in service of....neo-liberalism?
The Fracking New Deal?

The media judges us, âwhat would you do during a time like this bc that is what you should be doing.â
I get that.
But the people have been doing the doing this whole time
This happened under *this* mediaâs watch
This happened under the watch of these legislators

âEverythingâ is happening âat once,â bc itâs *been* happening but yâall took too long to stop itâthatâs why it seems that way.
Itâs been happening. All at once. From the beginning.
I was calling for a boycott for Kavanaugh. How could someone so divisive sit on the SCOTUS?

I hope senators learn this time not to negotiate or even participate with this farce.
I hope the media learns this time not to put faith in Republicans bc Trump is just a little more authoritarian version of what the GOP is, minus tariffs.
They dont believe in tariffs.

Romney will cry about it and give very nice speeches but at the end of the day, he is one of their *own.*
They have his vote for SCOTUS, the one who will give Trump the *continuation* of his presidency
Quid meet quo.

The lesson here is dont trust career opportunists: in msm, Congress, Feds, because they will take too long
Yes, they love their country, but they also love their careers, ego, paycheck
If they were to speak up in time, perhaps they wouldnât be able to be there to help, so...

Better to say the words nicely.
Better to punt it to Mueller to say the hard words...wait no Rosenstein...wait no...impeachment...wait my colleagues...my good friends at Fox News...wait
Wait.
Wait.
Waiting is why we are here.
Can the enabler of arsonists be firefighters?

This happened under *these* legislators who were *your* guests, msm.
âWell, weâre running out of time. I hope you come back.â
One hand washes the other.
We are indeed running out of time
40 days before the election *weâre* asked what are you going to do? https://twitter.com/thoughtfulwonk/status/1309067014263234561

What are *you* gonna do, msm?
What are you gonna do to atone for going along, for trusting the wrong feds, for running out of time to protect your career and the career of others?
Now, we have to *wait* for the election to hold the fascists accountable.

His question is something that should be applied to everything including the media, âCan the enabler of arsonists be firefighters?â

Obviously Bob Costa, Chris Hayes, reporters on the ground like Lemire, Yamiche are completely excluded from the judgment of this thread.
Im talking about folx who made the news entertainment. Thatâs different.
Thats how we got bootleg reality TV fascism.
Tick tock. Fix it.

You cant put it all on the people, âwe need you right now.â
Yeah, well, we need *you* right now to do the right thing outside of your career, and speak the truth as it is.
