Can we ever forgive Trump supporters for the needless deaths of 340,000+ deaths, the needless suffering of the #COVID19 pandemic, assaulting our democracy, damaging our national security, and putting us through such hell for four years all for the sake of Trump’s ego? We should forgive anyone who can fulfill the four-parts of an effective apology.

About all that’s left of Trump is his revenge on the country for his election loss. His revenge will be terrible, too, filled with pain, suffering, misery, and death. It starts with the #COVID19 relief and stimulus bill being gummed up by delay, bad faith negotiations, and the end of the 116th Congress.

Having an extreme narcissist in office is a double edged sword: he’s easily predicted, so you can predict how he’ll hurt you. It is Mitch McConnell and the Congressional Republican’s turn in the barrel. Enjoy some schadenfruede as Trump puts them over the barrel.

I hope everyone is ready for the flimsy excuses that Senate Repubes will be throwing at us as they seek to undermine America by obstructing #Bidenharris at every turn. The #COVID19 Relief Bill is just the first salvo. Help get it passed by continuing to contact your members of Congress and #TweetMitch

I know it’s long, but it’s also personal. So, if you’ve wondered why the 3,000 real live dead Americans that die every day now from #COVID19 don’t seem as important or significant as the 3,000 real live dead Americans who died on 9/11, well you’re going to have to read 2,000 words to find out.

Don’t waste another minute worrying about an armed insurrection, military coup, or civil war being fought to keep Trump in office. Trump is a narcissist. He is not a visionary, leader, or organizer. He just isn’t capable of doing it.

The WH and Mitch McConnell are fixing to try and delay and confuse until either the Dems cave and protect corporations from liability or no bill gets passed. Either way, they blame Biden and the Dems for whatever happens. We have to stop them. Contact your MoC and Tweet at Mitch!

I KNOW, TL;DR, right? I guess I didn’t have to include four scenarios to demonstrate diffusion of responsibility, but I did, so sue me, okay? It’s a cute and clever application of the principle to explain the ongoing coup attempt and the lack of violence among MAGAs.

The process we use to elect a president seems simple when everything goes “right” and goes unchallenged. However, when you take the deep dive into the process it because quite Byzantine and has plenty of places where it can be challenged, corrupted, and complex. But, Safe Harbor Day is the day we drive the stake through the heart of Trump’s attempt to steal the Election 2020 from #BidenHarris!

The similarities between Trump and Hitler don’t end with their use of lying and the Big Lie. It extends to targeting a mutual enemy, keeping people angry and riled up, and sowing chaos whenever possible. The comparison is amazing in how closely it matches. If Trump were capable of planning and executing plans, you’d think he had.

If we are doomed to repeat the history we don’t know about, then we should know about some history, right? We find ourselves in the biggest Big Lie blizzard of the past four years and it comes straight out of Hitler’s Playbook.
