“Progressive social movements do not simply produce statistics...rather the best ones do what great poetry always does...enable us to imagine a new society.” Robin D.G. Kelley
The Republican Party has spent decades perpetuating a racist conspiracy theory about widespread "voter fraud" and what you're seeing now is the inevitable result of those pre-Trump choices.
@tomforemancnn And let's not forget that Republicans have only won vox populi/popular vote once since 1992: G.W. Bush over Kerry in 2004 ... #GOP#ElectoralCollege advantage

The same people who said "It can't happen here" and then "No one could have seen it coming" will now say "It wasn't really that bad." It was. Do not let anyone rewrite the history of the Trump admin years. History must be remembered to ensure it does not repeat.

“Trump taps X for legal effort” is a bullshit headline. There is no legal effort. There is no tapping for a real job. There is only Not Recognizing The Results Of An Election — and every single Republican is guilty of that and getting away with not being called out for it
Biden won’t be banning Christians, arbitrarily revoking the status of white immigrants here because of natural disasters, trying to sell off white populated parts of the country or encouraging police brutality against white people. Your disappointment is not oppression.
I spent the weekend in Pennsylvania where some Trump supporters aren’t prepared to accept the election result — and they’re relying on viral misinformation on social media to argue the election was “rigged.”

Top Trump allies have embraced the idea that a deep-state supercomputer stole the election for Biden.
The man behind the conspiracy theory is an hoaxster whose most infamous scheme almost convinced the US government to shoot down an airliner.

On @CNN, Georgia’s GOP Lt Gov Geoff Duncan on fraud allegations:
“We've not had any sort of credible incidents raised to our level yet and so we'll continue...to make sure every legal ballot is counted is there, but at this point, we've not seen any sort of credible examples.”
The election was not close. Biden has won the electoral college with ease, the popular vote by millions. Trump won't concede because it is politically, commercially, and psychologically useful for him, and for the Republican party, to pretend otherwise.

Media: @JeffreyGoldberg to @brianstelter: "It might be on Jan 22 that @Twitter suspends @realDonaldTrump account, but he'll still find a way to make his views known ... It warrants serious conversations in newsrooms, how much attention we pay to the lame-duck pronouncements."
