Trumpism systematically appoints the worst people to positions of power, since it prizes *loyalty to a personality cult* above competence and principle:

You can’t say everyone’s vote matters while the electoral college still exists. One vote, one person. The electoral college should have been trashed a long time ago.

[Captain Obvious™️ @TheFungi669]

I don’t think the Founding Fathers ever envisioned only five states would decide our elections.

But here we are. A presidential candidate can lose the popular vote by over 10M votes and still win the election.

Fuck the Electoral College.

Harris and Walz have personalities.

Trump and Vance have personality disorders.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

This is as good a time as ever to restate: Trump doesn't show empathy because he CAN'T; doesn't feel contrition because he is UNABLE. He CANNOT and DOES NOT see beyond himself. He is NOT strategic - he is transactional. And he cannot pivot, stop, or shut up, even when it serves his interests to do so. Yesterday, in Atlanta, he could not even keep himself from attacking Georgia's popular Governor Kemp, even though doing so was clearly to his own detriment.
Trump is a malignant narcissist, in decline, who is miserable, losing, and entirely OWNED by his disorders.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

“Even putting aside Trump’s deadly history of policy failure, sexual abuse or his 34 felony convictions — which, to be clear, we shouldn’t — the former president, 78, has been borderline incomprehensible for years.”

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

same for the contrast between our two parties

Republicans follow a repulsive, dishonest, racist fraudster happy for people to die in his attempt to negate the will of American voters

Democrats follow someone willing to set his ambition aside for the good of the country

[Bette Dangerous @Heidi_Cuda]

What a betrayal by media to air the RNC pretending it’s politics and not an arena of criminals, cutthroats, and traitors aligned with fascists, sharpening their fangs to end democratic governance.

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion

A thread 🧵 On election night Fox News. From jubilation to despair: A thread in 8 tweets. This is an overview of the entire 9 hours worth of coverage. Things started out so hopeful... 1/8

The Electoral College is a scam to rig elections.

Oh fuck off. Fuck right off.

This is a perfect example and symbol of how little respect the left has for the rule of law and respectful political debate.
