"Let's talk about the label of socialism," says @RepRoKhanna, fed up with the attack line on Democrats, who haven't done a good job of articulating what they are and are not in the face of the Republican charge. "It looks like we're just mealy-mouthed."

.@RepRoKhanna is tired of the blame game between Democrats over whether “defund the police” cost them in the election: “Different political leaders can frame it in the way they see, but don’t blame the activists. Don’t blame Black Lives Matter, which just got you record turnout.”

“We can't look at Europe for what an American fascist movement would look like,” says fascism scholar @jasonintrator, because “an American fascist would be someone who’d be the most American as possible... They’re not gonna be wearing lederhosen over here.”

Republicans who indulge Trump’s election denial “are living in a fantasy world, which is very dangerous,” authoritarianism scholar @ruthbenghiat says. “And they’re waging psychological warfare on the American people.”

“So is this a coup plot? Or sore-losing and resume-padding? We simply don't know. That’s the problem with a kakistocracy!” @mehdirhasan takes on the Trump administration’s post-election purges, and installations of conspiracy-loving loyalists, at the Pentagon and beyond.

"History sides with Republicans" in Georgia’s Senate runoff, says reporter @bluestein, noting that the GOP has won every runoff in the state since 1992. "But at the same time,” he adds, “we've never had a runoff like this before.”

“This is an administration that cares more about imaginary dead people voting in Michigan than 243,000 actual dead Americans from Covid across the length and breadth of this country.” -- @mehdirhasan

Mehdi asks historian @BeschlossDC: Will Trump rank as one America's worst presidents? "We will know for sure in about 30 to 40 years," he says, but adds: "What other president has brought us the number of deaths in this pandemic that were avoidable?...It doesn't look great."

"Democrats have to remember the early saying of the founders, which is 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,'" says @BeschlossDC. "We are in a crisis for democracy at this point," he says, and it's time for Americans to "sleep with our eyes open."

The latest moves out of Trump and the Republicans would raise alarm bells for citizens in much of the world, but are "just dismissed as politics" here in the U.S., @AymanM tells Mehdi, adding: "This country is not yet prepared for what we’re seeing."

Did you know international election monitors are on the ground in the U.S.? Urszula Gacek of the OSCE leads an "absolutely apolitical" team but tells Mehdi that Trump is making "unfounded allegations that there was systematic widespread fraud. We did not find evidence of that."

In 2016, Trump claimed "the 3 million votes Hillary Clinton beat him by in the popular vote were 'illegal votes.' He even set up a commission to investigate voter fraud, and they found… nothing. Zero. Bupkes." Join @mehdirhasan for a trip down Memory Lane and up Bad Faith Alley:

Republicans’ patchwork of legal challenges to the election "is completely backfiring on them," @AriBerman tells Mehdi, but "by delegitimizing the democratic process, they're laying the groundwork for even more egregious and outrageous attacks on democracy."

Is Trump just in denial, or is he really trying to reverse the election? "It may not be an either-or," former DOJ official @AWeissmann_ says, adding that when Trump leaves office, "he will no longer enjoy the DOJ policy, which is that you cannot indict a sitting president."

Did you know international monitors observed the election? And they found "negligible" cases of absentee ballot fraud.
