We overly despair. We think fascism is rising because millions of people have deeply thought through it. In fact, lots of people are ambling into it because they are victims of disinformation, don’t spend a lot of time thinking about this, and have convictions all over the place.
This is a thread about one voter in one divided state, and how the pro-democracy movement should not despair but rather buck up and get to work, because a lot of people’s seemingly dangerous convictions are more shallow than we think.
Top 5 donors to Trump: Timothy Mellon - $36.5M Issac Perlmutter - $31M Linda McMahon - $25M Robert Bigelow - $10M Patricia Duggan - $5M The maximum an individual can legally donate - $3300 This is how badly billionaires are exploiting our broken campaign finance laws.
Republicans are insane. Literally. There is something psychotically wrong with them.

The Supreme Court of the United States would cut the heart out of America’s Democracy and the Rule of Law and unsoul the Nation were it to rule that an American president is immune from prosecution under the Constitution
The first words of my testimony before The United States House Select Committee on the Attack on the United States Capitol were that, “A stake was driven through the heart of American democracy on January 6, 2021, and our democracy today is on a knife’s edge.”

The #1 domestic terror threat in America are white supremacists who have promoted antisemitic conspiracies that have radicalized terrorists to commit mass murder against Jews, Black people, Latinos and Muslims. The GOP and Trump echo these talking points. No coverage. No…
Such a good thread You can be someone who works your ass off to change minds and make progress, or you can treat politics as a way to make yourself feel good about how right you think you are.

Beyond the outrageous abuse of police power, this is going to cost taxpayers millions of dollars in civil rights settlements that will not be paid by the police or their departments. Because they never are. Always externalized to taxpayers out of general budget.

that Trump repeatedly floated executing people while he was in office is especially terrifying in the context of his current push for total presidential immunity.

One reason the right-wing justices are comfortable sending such a message while Joe Biden is president is that they know Joe Biden would never scheme to undermine democracy like Trump does. (Another is that they'd just change their mind if he did.)
The Supreme Court seems poised to establish the imperial presidency that Richard Nixon sought to create 50 years ago, just in time to save Donald Trump from the criminal justice system. The message seems to be: If the president schemes to undermine democracy, it's not illegal.
This gives the whole game away. Trump’s lawyers said senate conviction wasn’t necessary in 2021 because “everyone knows, and the Constitution makes clear, that Trump can be prosecuted after leaving office for crimes committed in office.” Now they’re arguing the exact opposite.
WATCH-- @chrislhayes on the Trump immunity argument: One of the most galling things is that during Trump's own impeachment trial for his coup attempt, his own lawyer then argued the literal opposite of what his lawyer is now arguing to a receptive Supreme Court.

@CongressmanKean True, but you didn’t say that the 44.6% rate would only come to fruition under a separate proposal from the Biden administration’s main capital gains rate increase, and only apply to those individuals with taxable income above $1 million and investment income above $400,000.
