"You should take Trump's attempted coup very seriously, not only for what may happen but for what has already happened. The US will never again be able to say that it is a country that always practices the peaceful transfer of power." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/donald-trump-is-44834912

"The US will never again be able to say that its presidential candidates always concede when they are defeated, and that they do not resort to violence and intimidation in an attempt to harness an illegitimate takeover." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/donald-trump-is-44834912

"Americans will never be able to look at attempted coups in other countries and say 'That can't happen here.'

"Americans should have never said 'That can't happen here' in the first place." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/donald-trump-is-44834912

"Trump is losing, but that loss is coming with threats to officials' lives. This should never be minimized. The threat will grow more intense as his court losses mount; Trump and his die-hard base may use violence as an alternative." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/donald-trump-is-44834912

"Adding to the crisis is a culture of timidity among the Democrats, who won't discuss what's happened in plain terms. When public officials are routinely threatened with violence, elected officials need to do more than look the other way." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/donald-trump-is-44834912
