We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
