The October Surprise element in the General Kelly story would be the media treating it with the gravity and longevity it deserves. While also putting it in the context of the rest of the former Trump officials who have spoken out about how dangerous and unfit Trump is.
Just so we’re clear here, if handed the reins of power in November, Republicans will immediately implement a federal ban on abortion, they’ll also ban contraception & IVF, they’ll round up anyone they *think is here illegally and put them in camps, they’ll ban even more books, completely destroy public education, enforce a “national religion”, continue to starve hungry school children, incarcerate women for miscarriages if they don’t just let them outright die, and they’ll make it a helluva lot harder to vote and helluva lot easier to get guns, all while using our military to police our streets to put down any public protests against them with whatever kinds of extrajudicial violence they see fit to use at the time.
They will implement policies so that married heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity, where all pregnancies would be carried to term no matter the circumstances, and transgender and gender-nonconforming people would simply cease to exist.
Don’t believe me?
Well, you don’t have to take my word for any of it.
LISTEN to them.
They’re telling us what they’re going to do. They tell us every single day.
We have to listen to them.
To the things they are promising.
Because it’s all really bad for us.
And they really fucking mean it.

🚨🚨Wow Arizona just upheld a total ban on women’s freedom in the state. Donald trump made this happen and republicans want this future in every state in America. Remember it.
Justice Clarence Thomas is sitting on the bench today to hear a case involving Donald Trump and the 1/6 Insurrection.
It is an ethical travesty of the highest order.
We have not forgotten Ginni Thomas’ complicity in January 6th.
And of course the senile old wannabe gangster comes out with the unhinged threats and innuendos. If the majority of Americans believe this scumbag should be back in charge, we deserve to lose our Republic.
It's hard to explain how dysfunctional the @HouseGOP is, and the degree to which their own internal divisions are superseding every normal function of government. But I'm going to try with a short story about this week in the house. Thread:

Jim Jordan is unfit to serve in public office, let alone as Speaker.
He aided & abetted insurrections.
Mainstreamed the vile & deadly rhetoric of the former Occupant.
Covered up systemic sexual abuse at OSU.
His presence in Congress is a threat to our democracy.
