The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

What I can't understand is why the Dems don't frame all of this as the Republican ClassWar on the non-millionaires

For the millionaires and billionaires.

The GOP Christian fascist terrorism and corruption and bribery aside

It's a #GOPClassWarOnNonMillionaires for the millionaires & Billionaires

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
