Yes, we can't read thoughts. So use language carefully, as if people only have the language they hear or read and as if they can't read thoughts. Believe it.

Supporting LGBTQ+ means really thinking things through and dropping sexist language.

It is sexist to use sexual metaphors in non-sexual situations. It has no place.

Casual language has consequences! Apply progressive thinking to everything. Make it a habit. Purge sexist language from one's own thoughts.

Be the change you want to have happen. In things big and small.

If you truly thought that tRump or Biden had stolen the election, you better base that on verifiable true facts that can pass detailed scrutiny, not some convoluted chain of conspiracies. Not some shaky video of people moving boxes with a voice-over interpreting it as evil.

Not a set of factoids so bogus they don't dare present them in court because the few times they tried they got laughed out and shut down.

And yes, the educational system has not equipped many people with the skills to detect and deflect propaganda; the skills of critical reasoning; the skill of avoiding confirmation bias and seeking counter-facts to test the strength of the hypothesis.

It has not equipped many people to recognize or even to avoid anti-democratic authoritarianism.

Let them say that if they are serious about working with Democrats.

And they also have to start respecting Democrats by calling the party it's proper name, the Democratic Party.

This is really basic stuff.

GQP = Grand Qook Party

Greedy Qooky People

Let the Senate trial proceed. There is now a significant chance he might get convicted there. mcCONnell would like to see him dry up and disappear, or at least purged from the party. Even if not convicted, tRump is likely to get more than a couple of Republicons vote against him.

That's what we call "a good start".

We know the rioters had inside help and outside help. Handle it like an organized crime investigation. Work your way up. It is a deep conspiracy and the upper layers have tried to handle it all by a wink and a nod, but fundamentally the tRump Gang are amateurs so there will be evidence.

Blocking the National Guards was enabled by installation of civilian minions at Defense Department, which was enabled by firing Esper Nov 9, who had stood up to tRump in June.

We know that Caldwell coordinated with someone inside the Capitol with knowledge of movements. He texted "Inside" and then got a message telling him lawmakers were in the tunnels and gave him explicit directions.

Work it.

... in court.

According to the 1915 Supreme Court decision, you can be forced to use your pardon in court. And using the pardon is to admit guilt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burdick_v._United_States

The pardon does not actually apply until the defendant proffers it in court in answer to a charge. Nobody can proffer it for them. If the defendant does not proffer the pardon, then they can be convicted.

So,

1) Prosecutors should formally ask every pardoned person if they admit guilt.

2) If they do not, they should be charged.

3) Then they would be forced to admit their guilt, formally, in a court of law, where it will be recorded.

Plan A: steal election by voter suppression, mail-in ballot suppression, etc.

Plan B: "win" election by court cases

Plan C: steal election by suborning states' Secretaries of State via pressurizing phone calls

Plan D: gin up a rally to attract a big "antifa/blm" response and get a race riot going which expands to a smash DC riot and then invoke the Insurrection Act

Plan E: when "antifa/blm" wouldn't show up, hatch "walk with me" to get Pence to "do the right thing" and then depending how things go, segue to the Insurrection Act as in D

Plan F: MyPillow Coup?

Note: they make up plans as they go. Plan A and B were long term plans because they are standard operating procedure for Republicons. Plans C and D began planning Nov 9 as Plan B looked like it wouldn't get off the ground. Variant plan E was branched off of D when it became clear that "antifa/blm" wouldn't show up.

If Plan F fails, what's next? Plan Q which would be arrest of Clintons, Obamas, Bidens, etc.?

I think there will develop three parties out of the ruins of the RepubliCon party:

1) Rational Conservatives, like the Lincoln Project, who are willing to work with Democrats.

2) Rotting Elephant Carcass Party: clever but corrupt RWs like McConnell, Pence, and Collins clinging to the remnants of the Greed Over People party.

3) MAGA Q God Emperor of the US party with Gym "Medal of Freedom" Jordan and Graham and a horde of similar miscreants.
