Part of the answer is because the media has led them to believe lies: https://t.co/Gdh3aEqk4I 2/3

Oh darn
At the GA-14 Republican primary debate today, Marge Greene and Jennifer Strahan had a heated exchange which resulted in the moderator cutting Greene’s mic because she wouldn’t stop talking. pic.twitter.com/TwBl3ekoHd

PA GOP Senate race
Btw it's three years since @droz co-authored a column advocating licensing for ALL guns, the assault weapon ban, and red flag confiscations.
So on top of everything else, he's a shameless hypocritical opportunist. https://t.co/SyhV2gwrja

Fighting back
Republicans recklessly spread the sort of eliminationist rhetoric that preceded Rwandan violence. They willfully play with matches w/no fear of reprisal, says James Carville, b/c “no one fears" Democrats.

This is the kind of writing the NYT believes is normal for political coverage – as normal as the fascist movement infecting U.S. politics and threatening democracy. Note the tone. Disengaged. Far off observer. Neutral. "Caused a stir" passive voice. pic.twitter.com/GmrB27Y2ss

Yeah, what’s the big deal?
Okay, so Clarence Thomas's wife was a chief organizer of a coup against the duly-elected government of the United States of America.
Is she not free to participate in a coup? Is that some kind of crime? https://t.co/UFZiVT8Xvc

Oh puhleeze
The entire nat sec policy conversation about this is a farce. Every GOP supported and continues to support a Prez who *at the most generous read* idolized Putin and consistently tried to pls him by pursuing policies most treat as clearly damaging to US interests. All a joke. https://t.co/HAJBrtYy3C

Crooks, Texas style
Holy shit. This is big.
The former chief of Texas’s power grid testified today that Greg Abbott *instructed* officials to charge the maximum amount for power during the winter storm. Texans still owe $3.4 billion. https://t.co/ehKwnnhnxi

2 Prosecutors Leading N.Y. Trump Inquiry Resign, Clouding Case’s Future https://t.co/Y3yoG1gmvE

Absolutely stunned by the utter incompetence of the new Manhattan DA to destroy his investigation into Trump & alienate two incredibly tenacious prosecutors who have simultaneously resigned. DA Bragg makes Trump appear above the law once again & possibly clouds Tish James’ case.

Someone check @ManhattanDA Alvin Bragg's bank account. Something tells me it just got a lot fatter. https://t.co/vf4coaP0nT
