A THREAD OF THANKS. On the last midnight of this kakistocracy, my heartfelt thanks to Never Trumpers. It takes integrity to go against your own side. Many of you lost friends and family to Trumpism, but that didn't stop you. You spoke out. You showed up. 1/5

This Aussie lefty has lost sleep over raising my boys in the U.S. It means a lot to me to know principled conservatives. Sane conservatives. I'm sure you all know how much you mean to each other. I want you to hear this from across the aisle, too. I'm not the only one. 2/5

Thanking you often felt ridiculous because the praise was so faint. "Good for you opposing the least fit president in history!" But I meant it every time. With an ungodly percentage of the GOP supporting him no matter what, you proved there were still good people everywhere. 3/5

It's no accident you appreciate good faith arguments. We need these and should bring them back. I want to shake your hands and raise a glass and soon discover some disagreement. I will listen, not just because that's how it should be, but because you've proved yourselves. 4/5

A lot of good people ended this presidency. But when we all watch that moment tomorrow at noon, I want Never Trumpers to know your brothers and sisters on the left will always respect what you did with these years. I'm proud to know you. Thank you. 5/5

Adding a 6/5 tweet to thank you all for sharing. Wonderful and disorienting to see reactions by people I admire! I won't be able to reply to everyone until at least tonight (how y'all tweet so much?) but damn, won't midday be a helluva moment? The best of mornings to us all.
