The thing that's most galling about this attempted coup by the @GOP is how unjust it is. They KNOW they're unjustly accusing hardworking poll workers of fraud. They KNOW they're unjustly accusing PA, NV, GA, WI, and AZ of fraud just bc Trump lost there. They KNOW they're lying.
They'e lying, unjustly accusing private citizens of fraud, and undermining our sacred democracy all for a man who would gleefully destroy their careers on a whim. He's attacking @GOPChairwoman RIGHT NOW even though she rushed to satisfy his every request, no matter how bonkers.
How degraded, how diminished, how morally bankrupt do you need to be to refuse to take a stand here? To refuse to protect American citizens, the constitution, and democracy, all to please one man? They know they can't win in court. They're now 0-11. They know Biden will be POTUS.
But they're willing to unjustly accuse private citizens of fraud.

They're willing to lie about the integrity of our democratic processes.

They're willing to allow Trump to attempt a coup to, and I quote, "humor him."

The @GOP was once a worthy adversary.
The @GOP had ideas I disagreed with, but they were coherent ideas.

They had principles I disagreed with, but they were coherent principles.

They loved America & took an approach to protect & defend her that I disagreed with, but it was a coherent approach.
And now look at how far they've fallen.

They have no ideas & no principles. They have no desire to protect & defend American ppl, American ideals, American principles, American values, or our Constitution.

All they have is "Yay Trump." They have a cult of personality.
If you think that's overstated, read the 2020 GOP platform. Oh, that's right-- THEY DIDN'T MAKE ONE. Their entire platform was just "Trump."

No ideas, no principles, no stands on issues. Just "Trump." Just the man they ALL said was unfit for office in 2016.
Bc he has a massive cult of followers who believe his every word, no matter how contradictory, no matter how bonkers, no matter how dangerous, no matter how evidence-free, they bend the knee to him. It's nauseating.

Imagine Reagan being asked to bend the knee to this fool.
Lindsey Graham predicted what would happen on 5/3/16. What he didn't predict was how hard Republicans would work to destroy democracy, the rule of law, the Constitution, and American values along with destroying themselves. https://twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/727604522156228608
They could not have chosen a better strategy to lose the GA Senate runoffs than aiding and abetting Trump as he attempts a coup. You're publicly telling Georgians that their votes don't count "bc Trump said so." How do you think they'll react to that?
The @GOP aiding & abetting an attempted coup is the lowest point in American history. It's even lower than the Civil War, bc we fought that war over crucial principles. This time, you're destroying America all to protect a man you KNOW is lying.
I never thought the @GOP would ever fall this far.

Is this really worth ending American democracy to you? There are thousands of people who have DIED to protect it, and you're not even willing to risk your pathetic little careers. You cowards.
