Those who wish to resist the chaos that is about to be unleashed must read On Tyranny. Or at least read Snyder's cliff notes:

- Replying to @Marc_Kenyon and @joncoopertweetsI was a Republican who sometimes voted Democrat, depending on the person and the position. The days of reasonable people in the Republican Party are gone. The party as it once was is dead.
- Replying to @Angry_Staffer and @rc7547Yes, a thousand times yes for me, too. Used to vote R (mostly), then voted for Hillary, mainly to be anti-Trump. After 2020, I saw the whole GOP was rotten to the core, so in 2022, I voted straight ticket Dem for the first time ever (several decades of voting).
- Replying to @RobinFulfordTX and @RonFilipkowskiHow are these people getting away with "campaigning" at church. And why do these churches still have tax-exempt status if they are allowing such behavior. In my church, the leaders are VERY clear that they do not in any way support/endorse/promote politicians.
- Replying to @PeterHotezThank you for modeling respect and social responsibility for us. I am so sorry that you and all of us who share your values have been subjected to the vile, hateful conduct of people who are so desperately broken that they cannot understand love and respect.
- Replying to @blueeyedblue_47 @Acyn and @MayoIsSpicyyShe's my Rep! I voted for her twice and will vote for her again this year. Whenever she is in the district, she's out meeting people, visiting businesses and schools. Her office is responsive to requests, and she is a huge advocate for veterans.
- Replying to @DemocraticWinsNo big surprise. I tried warning my friends that Republicans would do this. Did any believe me? 🤷♀️
- Replying to @SenatorCarterYour grandparents have truly been an inspiration to me. Former President Carter’s steadfast commitment to Habitat for Humanity and other causes to make life better for people drove my utmost respect for him.
- Replying to @AdamForColoradoI am so sorry this race didn't tip in your favor. The American people, not just CO-03 residents, are poorer for the loss. I got behind you from MI, because I love CO (family connection) and saw how well you ran your campaign. I would love to see you try again.
- Replying to @ElieNYCEllie, there are so many white people like me, a woman, who joined this work for the first time ever this year. Thousands and thousands of us. Please don’t make us feel invisible and unwanted. We tried, we really did. We need to keep building community and bring others in.
- Replying to @GregAbbott_TXHow about using it to build infrastructure so the power grid doesn’t fail? Or investing in health care in rural areas so women don’t have to travel for hours to get to a hospital where they can have their baby? What about investing in public education? TX ranks 33rd in the U.S.
- Replying to @SergeantAqGo😢I will watch for the next chapter of your story to unfold. I pray for better days to come. I also pray for true accountability for the perpetrators.
- Replying to @RealCandaceOMy right as a woman to own property, have my own bank accounts & credit cards, and own my own business, all of which I am not willing to ever give up.
- Replying to @_TokyoMarie_ and @GregTSargentBiden says it every freakin’ day but what does the media say? “Biden is old!” Do they talk about the morbidly obese 78 yo man who eats McDonalds & allegedly abuses drugs? Do they call out the fact that the orange guy is literally taking down our country? No! Why? 2/2
