I knew as a 13 yo Bush v Gore was going to ruin everything. It certainly taught Ted Cruz that you can steal an election. My latest for @johnastoehr

Cruz said he was convinced Al Gore "was trying to steal the presidency.”

If you’ve been paying any attention to the news the last few years, you might be just a tad concerned about maintaining our democracy and what seems to be a conservative fascist threat.

For many, the threat became clear on January 6, 2021. Others have been concerned since Donald Trump took office. Others still since Mitch McConnell essentially stole a Supreme Court seat.

But let’s be honest. This slide into fascism began in 2000.

With Bush v. Gore.

Sure, we were all outraged at the time (I was 13 and very angry) and it seemed pretty clear George W. Bush hadn’t really won the election.

But I don’t think we could have realized how many things were going to be altered by that decision or how many Republican figures shaping the current threats were also deeply involved in Bush v. Gore.

1. K & R

Ted Cruz is absolutely evil. Even the Repukes hate him.

2. Makes me think

the whole Trump-Cruz 'ugly wife' kerfuffle was staged to throw everyone off the trail of stolen elections?

3. Three of Bush's lawyers in Bush v. Gore

Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Comey have been rewarded with appointments to the Supreme Court.
