Steve Schmidt: “Do not let the fascists, racists and conspiracy theorists make you afraid...” 5 patwatehe/ aly Kos (09201202) - Sete 20,202 Mihao! Belge ick Steve Schmidt is one of those never Trumpers who we'll never agree with on most policy, but he’s 2 patriot who is fighting to save our democracy. We are in a truly historic fight for the soul and very survival of the idea of America, The Steve Schmidts and Rick Wilsons of what they thought was a legitimate political party, have come around to the realization that what they helped create is not a political party but 2 dangerous cult that Is racing down the road to fascism. I desperately hope that one day I can blast these never Trumpers on Twitter, DKos and other places aver aur giant policy differences, but today they are our allies in this epic fight to save our country. ‘The latest Twitter thread from Steve Schmidt as compiled by Nathan Max Do Not Be Afraid. Do Not Tremble, Do Not Waiver. Do not doubt either the goodness of our people or the possibilities for our future. Do not let small men with tyranny and malice in their heart, or hypocrites with no core, make you afraid for our future or of your countrymen and women,Do not let the fascists, racists andconspiracy theorists make you afraid of your neighbors or the strangers who could be your friend. We should all be grateful that we have been chosen by this rancid and dangerous hour to stand up and fight. What we do now matters. Our Capitol is occupied by a cabal of small and low men and women who have betrayed all of us, the American experiment, their oaths and basic decency in service of a corrupt and malignant cult of personality that is vandalizing our principles, ideals, inheritance, future and fundamental goodness. 200,000 of our countrymen and women are dead. At least 150,000 of them could be alive, but for Trump’ lethal lying and the immoral, supine complicity of his collaborators and enablers. Let us resolve to rise up and strike down Trumpism. Let us put it down with righteous anger and fury. Let us resolve to never let this happen again. Let us do our duty as American citizens. Let us be conscious that we are called to safe action when we consider the blood, sacrifice and courage of ordinary people who stood their ground on a field in Lexington and Gettysburg, The men who stormed the beaches of Normandy and dropped from the skies over France to crush fascism are smiling at our cause. The men and women who taught the world the ‘meaning of the words “human dignity” as they protested segregation, absorbed the beatings and marched across the Edmund Pettus bridge are watching and judging us. We are inthe right and for the right. We are fighting for the good. Trumpism is UNAMERICAN. itis iliberal, demagogic, dishonest, cruel, corrupt and disgusting. Let us strike it down. We will.
