Thank you! Authoritarians love it when people lose all sense of morality and cheer on violence. It's another way of obeying in advance.
People celebrating Luigi Mangione, the health care CEO assassin, need to understand that vigilante killings are not celebrated or in any way condoned in the United States. We are a civilized country that values the lives of its citizens.

Authoritarian rule breaks down community and trust, as well as extinguishes joy in the population.

I talk about engaging rural folks because I know there is opportunity in rural spaces. If Democrats will just spend time and resources there…if we build the infrastructure in the off years, we can win. We don’t have to flip rural districts— just get 5% more rural folks to vote for Dems. Then we win.

A graphic depiction helps make clear that Trump has no “mandate.” One of the narrowest popular vote wins in history.
