In 2020 I was one of 7 dems that won a district that Trump won, so I held a series of listening sessions with people who voted for Trump and voted for me to understand their actions. I reread the transcripts yesterday and much of it felt like it could have been said today. THREAD

Here’s the thing. It’s all out in the open. The Proud Boy colors. The vile language. The praise of those who stormed the Capitol. The racist “jokes.” The threat to use force against the “enemy within.” You can’t vote for this and say you didn’t know.

"We're withholding our endorsement because our owner is frightened of government retaliation if Donald Trump wins" is a more forceful and eloquent statement than any newspaper editorial ever written.
