Most Americans woke this morning knowing that a powder keg had been carefully placed by Trump, Cruz, Hawley and dozens of other GOP senators & representatives.
#ONEV1 🧵1/14
It was only when their inner sanctum was breached & a woman was killed that GOP traitor senators & congresspersons began to wake the hell up to the consequences of their campaign to sow distrust in our electoral system & stoke the divisiveness that is their bread and butter. 2/14
It was only when their “house” was damaged and they had to hide under desks & evacuate like kids in an active shooter drill that they were able to come together to make a bipartisan decision to do the right thing. 3/14
When the people’s capitol building was breached this afternoon by hundreds of domestic terrorists who have been singsonged by Trump into believing they are patriots - a light bulb suddenly went on in GOP brains. 4/14
They realized the lives in danger weren’t the people they refused to help during a 10 month pandemic-it was their own privileged butts on the line. They finally realized their showboating will do them no good in a future presidential run if they aren’t alive to get elected. 5/14
The nation was nevertheless shocked to see capitol police appear to back away from barriers that allowed the onslaught to begin. There were no areas set up at a safe distance from the capitol building for protesters & the operational plans across the board appeared lacking. 6/14
This is despite the extraordinarily well planned police support for beating back BLM and other more peaceful protests. 7/14
In fact, national guard support was only called in when Pence, McConnell, Schumer, Hoyer & Pelosi stepped in - because the person who SHOULD have been stepping up & stepping in was too busy inciting the violence at a white house rally or tweeting from his golden toilet. 8/14
Is it any wonder that a mass defection of communications staff ensued this evening, as well as a few other rats that are looking at that last lifeboat being lowered from Trump’s sinking yacht? 9/14
As we proceed to the final process of counting electoral votes & confirming - in spite of the disinformation, conspiracy theories and obstruction - Joseph Biden as our next president & Kamala Harris as our next Vice President, we must marshal our energy toward tomorrow. 10/14
How do we ensure that this doesn’t happen again?

What do we do to battle a far right media machine that has become an arm for domestic terrorism?

How do we restore faith in our electoral processes? 11/14
Most importantly, how do we hold the individuals, groups and countries responsible for our brush with the death of democracy accountable? 12/14
How do we de-risk ourselves from a POTUS - the holder of our nuclear codes who is obviously a danger to every single person in our nation? 13/14
One thing is clear.

The stink of Trump will adhere to all of those who enabled him.

It’s now our job to track each of them, highlight their corruption & ensure they are never given the trust of the American people through elected office ever again.
