GOP memo outlines their 2022 battle plan and itโ€™s...exactly the same as theyโ€™ve done all along: stoke fear, peddle lies and scapegoat some โ€œother.โ€ They know theyโ€™ve got absolutely nothing to offer, so they must distract and divide. Weโ€™ve beaten them and this before. /1

I know everything feels hopeless. But that too is by design. Authoritarians must erode our will to resist to retain power. Antidote to despair is action. SPREAD THE WORD

We are confronting white nationalist aligned fascists. They have an ongoing criminal conspiracy to install themselves as our overlords, controlling how we look, live and love, what our kids learn and do, taking the wealth we create, and poisoning our air and water.

2022 going to make 2020 post election seem quaint. We must be prepared for them to fight, lie & attempt to overthrow any close race. We must make voters aware - anticipating - this is coming, is utter BS and we WILL prevail. We must once again hold firm to count every vote.

The Emperor, lacking any clothes, insisted on being squired before his most loyal subjects so they could genuflect before him, inhaling of his diseased and putrid breathe.

When we shift from "Trump is" to "Trump will do" we see palpable difference. Former invites near instant "yeah but Biden is..." Better still? Shift away from election as match between 2 individuals, toward election as decision about 2 futures.

Break the seal and let the great things the vast majority of us wildly favor pass and the better health, jobs, air, water and lives for us all flow.

Yes this. And thereโ€™s a second equally nefarious aim: Discourse about election being stolen decreases votersโ€™ desire to participate. Itโ€™s a suppression strategy. And if we fall prey to repeating it, it can work. We the people decide who governs us. We got this. #countonus

Trump always says something to see how much he can get away with -- if there's enormous pushback, he & WH freak. On his refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power, we have to sound every alarm, media has to slam every Republican, fight back hard. #TrumpCoupPlot

10 lawsuits, all lost. Has to overturn three states. The margins are far too big. It is on us to make the Biden presidency seem an absolute irrevocable reality because that is how we make it so. And it will indeed be so.

The people thumping their chests will never see actual combat or send their loved ones to face it. They unleash violence for personal gain and leave it to the working people whose healthcare they destroy and futures they steal to deal with the consequences.

Billionaires profited off this pandemic by taking the wealth working people create while rigging the rules and paying politicians to deny our families relief. Billionaires didn't "see" their wealth "grow" like bystanders to a great sourdough starter.

BREAKING: America's 664 billionaires have now seen their wealth grow by $1.3 trillion during the pandemic alone. These gains alone could pay for over 2/3 of Biden's #AmericanRescuePlan . Don't tell us we "can't afford" COVID relief. Full report:
