This is perhaps a painful lesson that America needed to learn. Elections have consequences. Never again should we allow a reckless demagogue this much power. You are the key to that. Get engaged. Stay engaged. Vote.
Previous generations could say, “We fought against fascism,” or “We put a man on the moon” or “We liberated the slaves.” We’re stuck with, “We let a cruel, inept, criminal, fraud of a man kill hundreds of thousands of people, so the republicans could own the libs.” @gerardcantor

Why are people so smug about NOT being scared of a disease that killed 200,000 people in like 7 months??? My dudes, a disease does not care if you’re afraid or not, covid is not the clown from It

President Woodrow Wilson publicly tried to pretend that the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic (which killed 675,000 Americans) was not happening, even after he himself got sick (which he and his doctor tried to conceal):
Dear @TheJusticeDept: Per the President’s orders, can you please provide the @HouseJudiciary Committee the full unredacted Mueller Report immediately? Thank you.
"We heard from thousands of people who don’t owe one thin dime, but they’re intimidated. We’re doing our best to tell them to not be afraid, but the governor and the legislature have a huge bullhorn that they’ve used for voter suppression."
