An exerpt:
“But it’s massively important for the country to understand that it didn’t happen accidentally. The system didn’t work magically. Democracy is not self-executing.”
That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.
A translation : the system must work how the well funded powerful people (in business and politics) want it all work, so they secretly conspire to change laws and limit what information the public can access to ensure the result they want, and this is called Fortifying The Election. Because democracy is too fragile, it must be manipulated or it may not give the rich and powerful their desired outcome.
Since I’m trending, I’d like to remind everyone that I live in Washington D.C— just a few blocks from the Capitol building.
Long story short, Ted Cruz tried to murder me too.

Democrat congress woman tweets that all Republicans should be called terrorists.
This is the unity we've been waiting for.

Earlier I tweeted that BLM is the most racist and violent organization in America. I want to apologize. I was wrong. It was an irresponsible thing to say. Planned Parenthood is the most racist and violent organization in America. BLM is second. Again, I apologize for the error. https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1356438257207300099 #America

@SecondJon Really reaching across the aisle that lady huh?
'Enemy is within the House': Pelosi warns of GOP
In my ongoing effort to avoid being cancelled, I hereby agree that an absence of court-approved proof of election fraud is proof it did not happen, courts are the ideal place for those challenges, software systems are unhackable, and full election transparency already exists. https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1354514801385328641 #Election

@mathlover @freemo Yeah, I saw that governors began calling them home... Maybe after being made to sleep outdoors in sub freezing parking garages?
I think the shift from That Fascism is Trump's Fault to I'm Fine With It makes sense as we move further into the new administration.
I wonder how long we'll have troops there.
D.C. National Guard deployment extended through end of March
How can we keep up the Everything Bad Is Trump narrative? I'm sure we can do it.

@bonifartius @freemo to be fair, "gaslighting" isn't obvious to native English speakers either. It has a legitimate meaning but is, I think, based on an old movie few have seen.
To manipulate someone psychologically such that they question their own sanity.
That's one dictionary definition. I think it's a real thing we often see in politics and the media lately. But used as a common insult? Odd.
Media Narrative On Coronavirus Changes So Fast You Might Get Whiplash
Excerpt : Of course, this is exactly what's happening. In the second story, the writer even acknowledges that cases have been slowly falling for the last few weeks. But for some reason, it wasn't worth reporting on until Donald Trump was out of office.

Let's see how the New York Times excoriates #Biden for framing himself as a wartime leader :
On Thursday, Biden released a sweeping plan that he described as a “full-scale wartime effort” to beat the pandemic by invoking the Defense Production Act to surge vaccine production and establishing federally funded vaccination sites across the country.

(The Biden Harris goal falls short of hope many vaccines were already being distributed under Trump.)
Here's what they said and #Trump :
The option, which he has brazenly pushed in recent days, is to cast himself as a “wartime president” who looks in charge of a nation under siege while his likely Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., is largely out of sight hunkered down in Delaware. This gambit, however, requires a rewriting of history — Mr. Trump’s muted approach to the virus early on — and it’s far from clear if many voters will accept the idea of him as a wartime leader.

Ute Tribe : #Biden executive order is a direct attack on our economy, sovereignty, and our right to self-determination. Indian lands are not federal public lands. Any action on our lands and interests can only be taken after effective tribal consultation.
I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.
