Donald Trump is a brain-wormed old crank with stage 5 social media and cable news addictions, completely bereft of the talents needed to be president and serve the American people. His default (and only) setting is corruption, lying, self-dealing and shit-stirring. 1/
It does not speak well of the people who voted for him, or enabled him, that these glaring and undeniable deficiencies were not sufficient to steer him far away from the presidency, or to remove him from it once he committed the crimes he promised a thousand times to commit. 2/
My man's incompetence and sneering disdain for the job he was entrusted with is directly -- DIRECTLY --responsible for, let's be charitable here, 150,000 needless American deaths from COVID-19, as well as the idiotic vaccine rollout that will cost tens of thousands more lives. 3/
This sniveling, sniffing, hateful con artist has unleashed a wave of fear, paranoia, mistrust and mutual loathing across this country that will take years to unwind, if we are lucky. No shock here - it's what he said he would do during his campaign, and he did it. 4/
Because of the hallucinatory, racist, conspiracy-laced mania he cultivated and spread to his followers, I am -genuinely afraid- to travel more than a few miles outside of major cities with my family. I no longer feel comfortable telling strangers what I do for a living. 5/
I hope there is some chance that the Senate convicts him and bars him from running again, but even if they don't, Democrats did the right thing, and they did it twice, even though there was little political gain in it for them. 6/
In 100 years, there will be villains and heroes in the desultory story of the last four years. Say what you will about them, but national Democrats ensured that they will be in the latter camp and not the former. 7/
There was never any peace to be made with this awful man, nor with the millions of people he radicalized and used as pawns. If the post-election period has taught us anything, it is that we are in for a long and potentially existential struggle with the evil of Trumpism. 8/
In 7 days we will wave a merciful goodbye to Donald Trump, now and forever a lifelong loser, a violent grifter with absolutely nothing to contribute to society. The role that elected Republicans played in the nightmare of his rise should never, ever be forgotten or forgiven. 9/
From this day forward, we either treat the GOP, top to bottom, as an extremist menace to the very existence of democracy and of the United States of America, or we might as well hand them the keys to the place now and let them trash it. 10/
Please stop voting for Republican governors. Please stop voting for Republican state legislators. Every election for the foreseeable future is a crisis. It will not end. You will never be able to stop thinking about who the president is or who is running the country. 11/
Happy Wednesday. 12/
