If Trump becomes president again, after all we know ,and you supported his campaign you will have participated in the end of American democracy.
You will not be rewarded by your leader beyond a rush you might seek for upending civility.
You aren't part of his plan.
He is the entirety of his plan and the future will belong to him.
Not you.
You won't get a thank you or a knowing nod.
He will allow you to buy trinkets with his image and name emblazoned.
Trump is a despicable example of human kind.
Devoid of compassion.
Devoid of any respect for knowledge and education.
Trump is the fully realized Id.
He will have no guardians , no guard rails and no shame.
He cannot tell the difference between what he is and what he wants.
There is none when you analyze the situation.
He flunks Descarte's building block syllogism automatically.
He can't think so no therefore.
Ego driven rage and revenge.
If you're inclined to assist him please rethink your reasons.

We will continue to amplify our groups and partners. We’re not deleting our account or ceding this space. But we hope to see you on our other channels, where we will be investing most of our time and energy moving forward: https://t.co/Rf7ibsE0Oc
We’re not worried about our ability to reach voters and have meaningful conversations without Twitter/"X." It might be a bit more difficult, but it will be worth it.
Please join us in building community on alternative spaces: https://t.co/Rf7ibsE0Oc
When trusted voices begin to leave this platform en-masse, "X" will lose its appeal, pull as a source of real-time information, and remaining legitimacy with policymakers and regular users. We’ll phase down original content to a minimum to prevent "X" from seizing our account.
However much effort we put into creating content that informs voters ahead of elections, it’s all being downranked in favor of misinformation from purchased checkmarks and Elon Musk replying “accurate” to a tweet claiming George Soros is a Lizard God-King turning everything gay.
Musk’s outburst scapegoating Jews for the decline of "X" in September was an inflection point, accelerating internal discussions about our continued participation in a platform that not only allows such hate speech, but rewards, amplifies, and issues it from its C-suite.
Musk's platform has become a megaphone for a bigoted and conspiratorial billionaire, propped up by a subscription scheme that amplifies the voices of transphobes and white nationalists who agree with him and muzzle his critics.
Since purchasing Twitter/"X," Elon Musk has uplifted accounts that target LGBTQ+ people for harassment, spread transphobia and antisemitism, re-verified violent white supremacists, and dabbled with dangerous ‘Great Replacement’ rhetoric.
Our movement was born online. It grew thanks to the reach that Twitter afforded us.
But the Twitter we knew is largely gone. This dangerous cesspool of hate and disinformation is bad for progressive organizing.
So we've decided to step back from "X." ✌️ https://t.co/Rf7ibsE0Oc
The advertising rates must have gotten so dirt cheap after advertisers abandoned this cesspit that instead of leading brands, it’s just ‘infomercials’ for the saddest of sad $2 shop style gadgets.

You're watching in action the Tocqueville warning: if a non-democracy attacks a democracy, the non-democracy had better win its war fast. As the battle progresses, the democracy gets stronger; the non-democracy gets weaker.
This analysis by @Mike_Podhorzer refers to some of my work, but that's not why you should read it. You should read it for its argument that, as he puts it, "horse race polling is punditry in disguise." https://t.co/RrGs2EYayC
