@petergleick where’s the profit in having a backbone?

@petergleick maybe if we in maga controlled states, totally deprived of all leftish national support because we were just fly over states, -- maybe if we had some back up so we aren't just taking turns dying uninvestigated deaths , we could force our maga legislators into a corner for once and for all. maga have funding, leftish efforts here get NOTHING.

@petergleick The men are hopeless, but if some of the Dem women could sit down with their Rep sisters and talk about shit, …
Men been running the show since forever, and it ain’t working, we're killing the planet. -

@petergleick
The problem is that they don't care. They are there for the lobby money and stock trading. The hard core MAGAts love this. -

@petergleick @schwa The MAGA movement crucified Adam Kinsinger and Liz Cheney for going up against them, so I imagine that was effective at scaring any others from trying to resist them.

@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?! -

At this point, I think one should assume this fascist, corrupt, MAGA enterprise is something they actually WANT. -

@petergleick Yes yes; an overextended duopoly, deeply entrenched by the fossil fuels industry, is that easily uprooted.
Industrial Age, all systems go. Fossil fuels #broligarchy, profit on!

@petergleick It's incredibly dumb of them. If Republicans actually want to ensure their hold on the government (which of course I don't want them to do, but if I were their strategist), they should come out against Trump as a guy who wants to take your guns, and oust him from office. It would humiliate Democrats and likely split the party. They should rally around a "good guy with a gun" and prove they are the law and order party who fights tyranny. They would win. But they're dumb.

@petergleick I feel like it's not so much a lack of backbone. I think they think they will reap some benefits of this.

sure it would but there is no decent GOP, much less a handful of GOPs, they've worked tirelessly for fascism since Ronald Reagan, over 40 years, they are not going to quit now with the goal in reach

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)

What if they have a backbone, and its just the will of the people itself that they are standing against? -

@peachfront Then let's write emotional letters! There must be a way to reach at least some of them. @petergleick
