Steven BeschlossI’m all for indictment, and recognize we’re going to suffer a non-stop, unavoidable tirade of crazy from the indicted one. But amid the noise & mania, let’s keep in mind we have democracy to save, rule of law to re-establish, and a climate crisis that requires collective focus and effort.
Rupert 🇪🇺🏴☠️😾🔭📷🍺🍪🌍🔥@StevenBeschloss similar here with #Johnson, throw him in a pit, or better just ignore, and let's get on with the #ClimateEmergency
Rick@StevenBeschloss @deeje If he doesn’t go to jail, I don’t think we can save democracy.
Beardguy@JetForMe @StevenBeschloss @deeje if he goes to jail, which I would LOVE to see, I'll eat my hat live on YouTube.
Rich and powerful people don't face justice in America. At worst, he'll be on house arrest, in a luxurious resort full of cronies who will jump to his beck and call 24/7.
Lawmakers make laws to keep "the poors" in line, not to punish the oligarchy. American justice only applies to people without power coupons.

Not one of his cultists will suddenly have an epiphany and become a democracy supporter if he is indicted or convicted.
It is up to us to continue to do the work required to #ProtectOurFreedoms.
Whether or not we succeed is entirely up to us.

@joeinwynnewood @StevenBeschloss @deeje It’s not about convincing his supporters. There need to be consequences to breaking the law and defrauding the People. If he faces none, that will embolden the next trump.
@JetForMe @StevenBeschloss @deeje It will only push the next Trump to be more competent at co-opting the machinery of elections.
Consequences are important for moral reasons among others, but consequences won't put a dent in the ambition of protofascist/authoritarian/MAGA Republican politicians.

deeje@joeinwynnewood @JetForMe @StevenBeschloss I also think we do have to put effort into outreach. They can’t all be hopeless.

Where there are openings, sure. All part and parcel of boxing MAGA Republicans out of power.
Mobilize our base, persuade the mushy middle & help high value voters understand just how important and valuable their vote is.

@joeinwynnewood @JetForMe @StevenBeschloss no argument from me on this, yes we must continue the good fight.
and if the first generation of supporters is held accountable, then next-gen supporters might not be so emboldened. Without the masses, he is nothing.

... and to finally establish the political will to indict erring criminal POTUSes and not only for having a blowjob in the oval office!

DanielTaylor@StevenBeschloss agree, except:
•there's no democracy to save when democracy is underwritten by capitalism
•there's no rule of law worth enforcing when policing is institutionally misogynistic, racist and homophobic
•the climate crisis can't be averted by collective focus while fossil fuel interests are so deeply infiltrated in the collective

Clotpoll@StevenBeschloss unfortunately, our guy biden talks a big climate game, then gives in to the money people. and i can't help but think that the purpose of that is to slowly demoralize us.
