MINI-THREAD: 1) Tea Pain has never been more ashamed of our government than he is now. Over 100 Republican members of the House and a dirty dozen GOP Senators are throwin' in with Trump's seditious attempt to overthrow a certified election.
2) True enough, Republicans don't believe America is a Democracy, rather a Republic, but by definition a republic is where "sovereignty rest with the people through their elected representatives." Republicans also believe in "States Rights" rather than centralized power.
3) Sadly the GOP are lookin' at these two foundation principles in their rear view mirror. Trump has transformed (more like deformed) the Republican Party into a cabal of sycophants ulceratin' to crown an authoritarian as their "Unitary Executive". In other words, a king.
4) Remember all those years GOP have stood on their little soap boxes and wept big crocodile tears for the weakenin' of "States Rights?" This Wednesday they are gladly, gleefully ready to overthrow 50 state-certified election results and circumvent the will of the people.
5) So, what is the Republican Party now? It's simple, because it can be defined by a new, single overridin' principle. "Power at all cost."
The rule of law has been forsaken in lieu of the "ends justify the means. "
The rule of law has been forsaken in lieu of the "ends justify the means. "
6) Seditious little weasel, @LouieGohmertTX1 is a perfect example of this. Seein' his fools-errand law suits go down in flames, one even before a Trump appointed judge, he is now callin' for his party to "go to the streets and be as violent as Antifa and BLM.”
7) Republicans are not about the Rule of Law. Republicans are not about the Constitution. Republicans are about acquirin' and maintainin' power. Nothin' more, nothin' less.
8) Adversity reveals character and these tryin' times have revealed the true character of the Republican Party. They are immoral, power hungry zealots bent on mainaintin' power for old white men.
9) A quick look at history teaches us that White Nationalism never goes without a fight, usually endin' in a underground bunker. Bootin' Trump is the beginnin' of the battle, not the end. Trump has spawned a new generation of White Nationalist authoritarians.
10) This battle will rage for years to come until we trod it beneath our feet. We can't compromise with these enemies of Democracy. Every one must be called out, held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is no unity separate from the Rule of Law.
