1/ Everything that’s happening was inevitable given the basic heartlessness now entrenched within our economic and political system. While that heartlessness reaches an apex in Trump, it has been there for a long time. Republicans promulgated it and Democrats too often went along

2/ Cornell West was right when he said the system has proven “incapable of reforming itself.” We know at this point what to expect from Trump, but Congressional leaders should be listening up and taking heed.

3/ It’s reasonable to expect nothing but a crackdown law-and-order mentality from McConnell, but @SpeakerPelosi and @JoeBiden could at this moment break free of their neo-liberal container, reclaim the soul of the Democratic Party, and actually make a difference. I hope they do.

4/ Trump is already having military units prepared to deploy to Minneapolis. If democratic party leadership doesn’t come up with a plan for bold fundamental changes it will be a huge strategic mistake. The era of politics as usual is over; need for enlightened leadership now here

The words "go along" can imply they were just not stopping it, but Dems were milking it same as Republicans or we woulda been done had Medicare4All, reparations for blacks n natives, and free university. It's time to transform our economic, political, justice systems.💞🇺🇸💞🌏

You can only push people so far before they start pushing back. The American people are doing that now. We've had enough of politicians empty words and no action to make things better. We demand better now !!

Marianne, DEMOCRATS literally have always went along. The ONLY times they didn't go along is when political activists warned it would not LOOK GOOD if they did go along. How long will ACTIVISTS have to keep CHIDING Democratic leaders (suspect) to do something? #riots2020 #COVID19

Last summer, I drunkenly yelled at my mother-in-law because she didn’t know who you were.

Self destruction could not be foreseen at the political level; but the seed once down does take root, grow and flower 🌹. In this case, it took 40 years ( Ronald Reagan + Margret thatcher sowed the seed - intellectual parents - ayn Ryand and Milton Friedman) - now face th music
