4. VOTE

Because the MAGAbomber would if he could.

Shudder! at the thought that dangerous — yet pathetic — Oxygen-consumer had voting rights (and might have even voted early)
SHUDDER!!, while others here have had their enfranchisement right denied.

Karma, do your thing!

3. Steve Schmidt didn't hold back.

Calls Trump a “Dime store Mussolini” and lays it right at his feet.

5. Except if he'd

.....been Black, they wouldn't be talking about his "mental illness", his "child-like nature" or his loser feelings.

They'd be only using phrases like violent domestic terrorist, with a history of violence. They say this kind of thing about him a little bit but there's more emphasis on his mental state.

That's the rule: White criminals are sick. Black criminals are violent thugs.

6. Thread Reader version for easier reading and those who don't do Twitter:

1. Whether Cesar Sayoc is sick or evil or maybe a bit of both will become clearer in the days ahead. Certainly he was a loser. A loser who latched onto Trump’s cult of personality and virtuous victimhood. His failures could be explained by the conspiracies and minorities who

2. were stealing his entitlement. He fell in line behind his avenger, a dime store Mussolini who assaults the institutions of our country, divides the American people, demagogues every issue, emboldens white supremacists and lies thousands of times a year.

3. They were not lies though. Objective reality crumbled in his mind. What was true was what his leader believed or said. That was enough. It was he , that the billion dollar anger and propaganda industry was targeting. When Gingrich smirked into the camera that it was all about

4. Kavanaugh and the Caravan it was the Sayocs of the world he was talking to. Trump ignited a passion in him to serve. He decided to be a soldier and a terrorist and strike back against the enemies, criminals and saboteurs who were stealing America. They were Trumps enemies

5. And so they were his. He would strike at the traitors, the enemies of the people. Trump winked at the violence. He knew Trump was right. There were good people on both sides in Charlottesville. The country was soon to be invaded by the Caravan . He decided to become

6. An assasin. He would do what had to be done to enemies of the people. He would kill them by mailing bombs to them. All of them. All of Trumps enemies. He launched a massive assassination plot and tried to kill 2 former Presidents and many more. It was not enough

7. For him to drive around in his van festooned with images of Trump anymore. He heard the message . Trump incites and inflames. He is a tribal chief at war. He is as illiberal as he is vile, corrupt and inept. He created the dystopian alternate reality where this loser lived.

This is reality.
