      This grave crisis is overlooked. After being lied to for months, many millions of people *do believe* the election was stolen from Trump. Yesterday, a majority of GOP representatives voted to overturn it. Try to sanction the liars, and we'll be told "what about their supporters?"pic.twitter.com/aUx6YG3Vr8

      I don't think people have come to terms with what is happening. I can't believe the Senate and the House just went home. Even after all the mayhem yesterday, majority of GOP representatives *still* tried to throw out the election without even pretending to have a basis for it.

      What wake-up call do folks need? Are we going to argue that our institutions are resilient until they do succeed in throwing out elections? They walked into a building riddled with bullet holes where people had died trying to storm it and voted to overthrow the election anyway.

      This isn't a partisan problem. The crisis the United States faces is far beyond ideal tax rates & different budget priorities. There is a bloc with growing power at every level that has decided elections can be optional if they lose—and they aren't going to go away by themselves.

          what is the bar for removal from office? surely it was breached yesterday. Why is he still the president?

          Because 50 GOP senators and more than half the GOP cabinet want it that way.

          We should all yell "do something" and scold others for not yelling "do something" till the ship rights itself.

          Trumpism unleashed, organized & empowered a violent tribal id that's always been part of US politics & culture, but recently stayed mostly out of sight, just below the surface or hidden in shadowy corners. Putting that genie back in its bottle could take a generation or more.

          "Recently" = the past 50 years or so.

          Absent war, any historical instances you can cite where this kind of--what is it, tribalism?--was overcome?

          If this bloc resides in one political party, it pretty much is a partisan problem.

          I think the point is that partisanship is what happens in functioning democracies and this is not it.

          We have a political party in the process of becoming an anti-democratic one. I don't see what will stop that process and once complete I don't see how democracy survives.

          Öyleyse Gezi'nin de dönemin seçilmiş iktidarına karşı @zeynep'in bahsettigi "blok" --yani işlerine gelmediğinde seçimin opsiyonel olabileceğini düşünen insanlar-- gibi hareket eden insanlar tarafından yapıldığı yorumunu yapmak çok yanlış olmasa gerek. Ve bu cidden büyük sorun...pic.twitter.com/tQP7No9gG3

          Sosyal medya takipçilerim iyi bilir: İlk günden beri seçim sonuçlarını beğenmeyenlerin sokakta iktidar değiştirmeye kalkışma eylemi olarak Gezi'yi anti-demokratik bir eylem olarak gördüm. Şimdi, neredeyse 8 sene sonra birileri ABD Kongre binası basılınca sandığın önemini anladı.pic.twitter.com/HdJuwsEx1J
