@RepKenBuck Buck says capitalism is the greatest force for freedom humanity has ever seen.
But it is unfettered capitalism that gave us slavery.
He doesn't understand how this works.
For 15 years, I’ve been studying 1960s civil rights protests with particular attention to how nonviolent and violent actions by activists & police influence media, elites, public opinion & voters. I'm thrilled some of that work was published last week. 1/

President Trump has been visibly angry the last two days and he's been lashing out more than usual. Why is he so mad?
Because this story from The NY Times laid out, point by point, what he did wrong.
It is clearly a must read so here it is again:

President Donald Trump’s hotels in D.C., New York and Chicago all seem to qualify for benefits from the coronavirus bailout. So does his winery lodge in Virginia. https://t.co/NQ3HmVe0rp
@tommywest23 @MollyJongFast I believe he raised the issue as a reason to "re-open the country."
That wouldn't make sense unless he thought there would be more deaths from a closed economy than by the virus.
@tommywest23 @MollyJongFast I have, thank you.
Do you believe we are going to see deaths by suicide outnumber those by the virus? This seems to be what the president is implying.
I’m getting a lot of angry MAGA people shouting that “the mass graves are not Trump’s fault!”
YES. THEY ARE. The coronavirus is not Trump’s fault. But our government’s HORRENDOUS response to it is 1000% Trump’s fault.
Let’s run through what is INDISPUTABLY Trump’s fault:
Since the start of the pandemic Mitch McConnell has blocked the inclusion of my bill to expand #VoteByMail through the November election in any #COVID19 relief package.
Lindsey Graham suddenly believes in debt forgiveness when it comes to US debt to China, yet refuses to consider cancelling or even AUDITING Puerto Rico’s *illegal* debt made by Wall St vulture funds.
Or even student loans!
Classic GOP: “bootstraps for thee, bailouts for me.”
@repgregwalden@HouseGOP GOP position has always been to drown the government if I remember correctly.
So stranding citizens, forcing them to "go it alone," has been Greg's endgame for a very long time.
