Exactly a decade after Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Rankin/Bass created a cult classic Christmas special, The Year Without a Santa Claus.This 1974 ABC Christmas special is famous for the Miser Bros but there's a bit more to the story than their sibling rivalry. Here we go...
An accused sex trafficker as AG. A confirmed goat-/dog-murderer at DHS. A backup Fox & Friends host running the USAF. A Science of Identity Foundation cultist who flipped from Democratic to MAGA and is a “Russian spy” according to former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) as DNI.
*JFC*.
Walz: So if you are feeling deflated, discouraged today, I get it. Take some time. Take care of yourselves. And get back in this fight when you are ready. And know that whenever you are ready to get back in that fight, I will be standing right here, ready to fight with you.
THREAD: The Lincoln Project accepts that America has voted to re-elect Donald Trump on his victory. We believe in this democracy and in the peaceful transfer of power when the voters have spoken.
So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.
And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.
When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?
You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.
You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.
You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.
You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.
You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.
You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.
You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.
You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.
You just made women less safe and less free.
You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.
You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!
You just ushered in Fascism.
Because your cereal costs more.
Congratulations.
The people who voted for Trump or who helped him win are going to get exactly what they deserve.

Stand in line to vote no matter how long it takes! Republicans intentionally made it harder for you to vote so they can discourage you from voting. They know when turnout is high, Democrats always win.
STAY IN LINE AND VOTE!
