George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
It’s hard to believe that there are still people out there arguing that Biden was not legitimately elected, despite all the evidence that he was and no supporting evidence anywhere of any widespread electoral fraud. But let’s not pretend this ended in 2020. In 2024, Trump will claim fraud once more because he simply can’t stand the idea that he might have lost because more than half the voters don’t ever want him back in the White House. We need to prepare for his lies and how his MAGA base might rally to yet another false cause.

@georgetakei Trump is a sook
In Australia we would call him a Sooky Sooky LaLa
I don't know if it translates well to America, but it accurately defines his character and probably why Australians are able to see through him

@georgetakei Friendly reminder: in 2016 more than half the voters did not want him to be a first time president. Electoral College ≠ popular vote.

@AlaskaWx That's a very good point. The majority of voters in this country have never wanted Trump to be president. He's only ever been something the minority has forced on the rest of us.

You'd better believe there are! When I was a teen in Mississippi, boys spent hours discussing that very subject and going over "what really happened instead of what the Yankee history books say". One of our favorite comments was "Save your Confederate money, boys! The South will rise again!!"

Yes. Unfortunately not many of those kids get away from their bigoted environment and are able to break out of the programming. They grow old & teach their kids & grandkids their "conservative family values". Generations live in denial, with a false sense of superiority & abhorrence of "Yankee liberalism".

@jik @georgetakei You might be right…they stopped shooting cannons, gave up the grey uniforms but hung onto the flag and the war went incognito etc…tough to kill an idea, no matter how unfair it is to humanity.

They aren't arguing, any more than repeating the Creed is an argument. They're just asserting, with some extra ritual mouth noises thrown in to make it look like it isn't a matter of faith for them.

@georgetakei how do you inoculate the electorate against the almost certain lies and push back that will result from Trump running and not winning the presidency?

12 months to bomb proof US democracy. It’s a tall order…but the need has never been more urgent.

What is required is the opposite of voter suppression. The US needs to positively enable its electorate to vote, but also find a way to expose the lobbyists and partisan news reporting.

@georgetakei Just remember that Trump plays the crowd (or room). Some like his soft sell of hate and other supporters like hearing hard grievance and hate speech. The dangerous thing he has done is to control a mob to action. Little do his supporters know or understand he would step over their dead bodies and not pay for legal fees if arrested and charged. Not out of his money. He recorded the Jan. 6th convicted singing just to sell it for his benefit. Not their legal needs.
