This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.

Major GOP donors are getting rich off Trump's deportation campaign.

It's the purest distillation of MAGA: fusing bigotry with uncontrollable greed.

If the 2020 Georgia election was rigged, why didn’t they rig the 2016 and 2024 elections?

Trump lost in 2020 because the economy sucked and Covid made it worse. He was president during the shit show.

By 2024, people forgot Trump was president during Covid because MSM kept blaming 2020 on Biden.
Schiff on Gabbard's involvement in Georgia: "All of this is intended to send a message and the message is, 'We will not tolerate or accept an election that we lose.' That's why in these budget discussions we need to make sure, among other things, that we don't have ICE agents at polling places."

Republicans created their own boogeymen and trying to get everyone else to believe the boogeyman exists.

Dems need to stop saying, “Well, maybe…”

Just say, “Stop making shit up. You’re doing this solely to disenfranchise people vote for Dems. You ain’t 3 and there ain’t no monster under your bed.”
Schiff on the SAVE Act: "Jonathan, what you've just asked is essentially, Republicans have created distrust in the elections by making claims of nonexistent fraud, and shouldn't we use the distrust they've created in order to enact a voter suppression law?"

The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.
Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

It would help if every centrist who says they’d love to abolish ICE or end a genocide or protect trans people or get to universal healthcare but “you have to think about elections” would admit they just don’t want to do any of those things and are quietly fine with fascism if it doesn’t touch them.
