1. We must contend with the fact that there is a portion of the American population that WANTS a mob-boss in the White House, a president who openly flouts the law and exerts unchecked power. These are the sort of people who willingly and actively give rise to dictators...

3. In America they will claim patriotism and vault the Constitution, but they do not believe in an inclusive national unity, and only use aspects of the Consitution that they can warp into supporting their maintenance of power, disregarding portions that do no serve them...

4. There has been a steady progression from the 2016 election until now of Trump and
@GOP leadership preparing their base for the argument that the president is above the law, an argument applicable only to Trump. If Clinton were president it would have been the opposite...Visa denna tråd -
5. In the weeks and months to come, we will see a dire threat to our republic’s future unfold as Trump and the
@GOP reinforce the propaganda that a president is incapable of breaking the law, no matter how egregious his actions...Visa denna tråd -
6. They are making this assertion because they realize their position is indefensible. They must rely on the tactic of attempting to invalidate the investigation and any of its findings as irrelevant because the president is immune from justice...

7. They know there is a rabid base that is not only primed for this argument, but hungry for it. Who want to see Trump unbound from all laws. Who want a dictator. Who would happily eschew fair elections or even elections altogether if it meant keeping him (and then) in power...

9. Every limitation of our Constitution & representative democracy has been tested by this administration. It’s not sudden. It’s the culmination of decades - the
@GOP, funded by mega-donors, laying the groundwork for a moment when they can override democracy & entrench power...Visa denna tråd -
10. But there are still enough check and balances, enough gaps in their suppression and gerrymandering attempts, for the majority of Americans to stand up and save our republic from those who would replace it with dictatorship. It’s our obligation to do so...

11. We must vote with overwhelming numbers in every election large and small. We must continue to put corporate pressure on those who stand to profit from Trump by showing them dictatorship doesn’t pay. We must continue to raise the voices of those who empower the marginalized...

Obama is the one that spied on a political opponent. Tried to use the IRS to silence critics and had reporters harassed by the DOJ. My how we can put on blinders. You really need to stop listing to the muses. They can really cause blindness.

Their agenda is to maintain systemic advantages in the face of overwhelming population decline and loss of control. It is giving rise to a form of apartheid.
