@petergleick could you provide a list with 6-7 names, which ones would be most likely to turn around?
I don't know much about US-Senators and House Representives. But I'd like to write letters to appeal to reason and humanity to those, who might just need a nudge from abroad and within. We all could try to talk reason. It might work, who knows?!

@energisch_ @petergleick

you can't seriously imagine that the party of white supremacy is open to reason

i've lived here all my life, they do not respond to reason or even self interest, their hate is everything to them

I'm repeating this. The whole fascist, corrupt, MAGA enterprise would grind to a halt if literally half a dozen Republicans in the House and Senate would find a backbone.

@peachfront I can't imagine that every single one is like those MAGA thugs! @petergleick

@energisch_ @petergleick

some of them are more polite about it but they all hold the same beliefs

if it makes you feel better, by all means try to use sweet reason, but those who have been using sweet reason for the last century can tell from experience that it simply doesn't work on these people (for that matter, arguing from reason & logic works only on a minority of people even among decent people, most people act based on emotion -- emotion is the driver of human psychology)

@petergleick

GOP billionaires own & operate the entire Republican political apparatus.

The billionaires have achieved their kleptocracy & are no longer in the business of democracy & governance.

They are in the business of manipulating the subjects of a #MadKing

They are not in the business of serving voters, citizens, or American interests.

Billionaires deluding themselves of permanent rule.

Fund a Fascist & Find Out.

In the critical Kentucky Senate race, billionaires are funding more fascist wannabes.

Boycott them all.
