#TyrannyoftheMinority
The number of people who prevented the fake elector scheme on Jan 6 can be counted on one hand. Two of them were the parliamentarian and Pence.
16% of US adults still think Q works inside the government, despite all the debunking. That's 50 million.
17M nominated Trump in 2024.

Steven Levitsky & @dziblatt.bsky.social did it again. After #HowDemocraciesdie (2018), #TyrannyoftheMinority How to reverse an authoritarian turn & forge a democracy for all, #mustread especially now Trump’s Republicans are set on cementing minority rule in the #US 🇺🇸 @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

Republicans made it part of their platform to run the dumbest people they could find for everything from school boards to the presidency, because the lowest common denominator would seem “authentic” to most of their base. And they were right. #TyrannyOfTheMinority

Well, a shift of the poles of the planetary axis would be Mother Nature effecting change.

I don’t think even that cataclysm would budge the Roberts Court from its perch in the #TyrannyoftheMinority.

And thanks to domestic and foreign #cartoonists for their attentiveness to #America under #Trump. #SatireDemands a microscope to his #FifthColumn #TyrannyoftheMinority. Sadly, our own muses’ #cartoonrattling risks being silenced by his #cultofpersonality with a capitulating & collaborating #media.

250th anniversary of an act of civil defiance, & the roots of Reason & Enlightenment in governments? Heck yeah!

Meanwhile, we have martyrs to mourn & honor 😔, & some actual US terrorists have trials w/ Due Process.

Man do I miss the old days, like last year.

#TyrannyOfTheMinority
Now that we've all seen our numbers today, what's stopping us from pulling it all together and descending on the White House all at once!? I'm thinking 4th of July! FUCK TRUMP!

Grant, C.S. Lewis wrote THE GREAT DIVORCE. Let’s call this Musk falling out with Trump & others over the “Big Beautiful Bill” THE GRIFT DIVORCE.

Washington, D.C. is the Grey Town while there is #TyrannyoftheMinority by the #GOP.

Umm do Bessent & @cnn.com not know that this happens every 5 minutes and only became a political poker chip in 2011 when Congressional Republicans made it one as part of their anti-Obama TyrannyOfTheMinority playbook? The language implies that this is new to them.

Excellent graphic.

This is a great illustration of why we often wind up with a #TyrannyOfTheMinority after elections.

Proud to have GOOD neighbours to our south. Remember, friends, most of #America is full of good, honest, thoughtful people.
Unfortunately, with about 2/3 voting in Nov. '24, and 1/2 of those voting for That, they got the #TyrannyOfTheMinority.

Remember that, #Canada.

#April28th

#canpoli #cdnpoli
Hard to say this without sounding condescending, but this Canadian 🇨🇦 is very proud of his American 🇺🇸friends today.

You did good!!
You did something!!

Well, that gal can't count.

1/3 of eligible voters in America never cast a vote, not for over 100 yrs now (1915).

SO the best the get even when they win is about 30% or LESS.

That is not by any definition "the majority" of anything.

#TyrannyOfTheMinority is what it is.
March 29, 2025 at 2:31 AM
Yes, and it's due to gerrymandering and zero regulation of social media 'news'. #TyrannyofTheMinority
if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all
February 21, 2025 at 11:34 AM
Actually 36% of eligible voters sat on their asses and couldn't be bothered. So Shitler only got a little over 1/3 of eligible voters.Electoral college screwed us too. #tyrannyoftheminority

Not the best foot forward for Congress, but it DOES offer the Minority Party the ability to forestall the "consent" of the Senate for as long as they are willing to stand there and speak.

The thinnest #TyrannyofTheMinority but still useful in the era of #FeloniousDon.
February 12, 2025 at 9:52 PM
It’s less than half the country. trump won (if the voting machines weren’t hacked) with only 31% of eligible voters. #tyrannyoftheminority

#ontyranny by Timothy Snyder is a must read.

#howdemocraciesdie and #tyrannyoftheminority by Steve Levitsky/Daniel Ziblatt
#strongmen by Ruth Ben Ghiat

Decent Americans need to start educating themselves about fascist movements and how other countries and movements have resisted fascism.

WHERE ARE THE CLOTURE VOTES on Trump's nominees?

The time for #Comity has passed. We are in the #MadMax era now and #Rule22 is the only tool they have - but it's a powerful one.

Big enough to stop the GOP from moving anything forward.

#TyrannyOfTheMinority USE IT!

#tyrannyoftheminority is an excellent book. I highly suggest reading!

In short, the citizenry will be hoisted by its own petard. How sad for us all. #TyrannyOfTheMinority
A citizenry that was once fairly well cared for will realize that they’ve been abandoned to the wolves, alone in the world against all manner of natural disasters, high-tech criminals, and a consumer world no longer protected by any kind of watchdog. newrepublic.com/article/1897...
Enshittification Comes to Washington
Our tech overlords have ruined the online platforms that Americans depend on. Now, as Donald Trump returns to the White House with Elon Musk in tow, expect the same to happen to our government.

Just finished my last book of 2024; #TyrannyOfTheMinority by @dziblatt.bsky.social & Steven Levitsky. Bought at the great #Kramers bookstore in DC during election week. The book zooms out to democracies all over the world and zooms in to the needed changes in the US. #Goodreads 📚

Senator, you and the rest of @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social
Caucus in the US Senate had better be prepared to go full-on
#TyrannyOfTheMinority a la Mitch McConnell.

EVERY #GOP bill gets a #Rule22 60 vote barrier!

THAT is your mission, should you choose to accept it.
