Why don't more people see how bad this is? Even if I liked the guy no one attracted to that kind of power is going to ... do good things in the long run. He will run out of "libs" to torture and persecute and move on... and ...
let's just reflect on the fact that Liz is a Republican. She's just been critical of him. He wants to erase her on live TV for it.
That's madness. If he is this mad at Liz no one is safe. Why is he still even a serious option?
@futurebird@shaknais Yep. He will eventually turn on everyone, and they're happily giving him the power to do so in ways they don't seem to have imagined yet.
@futurebird@shaknais The fact that Cheney of all people was drummed out of office by her constituency because they thought standing up for principles despite it being political suicide was "cowardice" and she should have shown loyalty to Trump specifically is fucking terrifying.
@futurebird@shaknais She gave them everything they wanted...except she held to the principles they pretended to have instead of bowing to the angry guy who insults the same people they don't like
And that he singles her out without going after everyone involved in the Jan. 6 hearings... shows it's about punishing the "disloyal" as if there should be "military tribunals on TV" for not being loyal to him.
That's not some claim that "they abused power and I want a trial about it" it's just "people who are not loyal in my party must be punished by a legal body publicly"
It's so far from anything like "freedom" or "liberty" it's wild.
