Here’s the one thing you all should know about 
and his kind.
They never expect us to fight back.
Now that we are starting to fight back and in a rather united effort, we have to keep relentlessly pushing his buttons for the next 96 days. That means making sure he gets less votes than he did in your local jurisdiction 4 years ago.
They never expect us to fight back.
Ask me how I know.

“Weird” works because they hate it. 😂
Everyone else living in the modern world, outside of the #Maga bubble, embraces weirdness. We celebrate it!
But to them it has a completely different connotation, and it rings true.
@Anouk @peeppeepcircus @mikeharmanos
There is good weird.
And bad weird.
Then vile weird.
@peeppeepcircus @mikeharmanos It's got just the right combination of you-know-what-I-mean meaning and understatement. It's a great we go high but damn look at that down there attack.
Ah, so to them it’s also a dog whistle!

Budding Bodhisattva really wants a smartphone. We're clear on absolutely not yet, but had thought that 13-14 might be ok. But we're rapidly backpedaling based on what we're hearing and seeing.
💯 Bullies never do. When you are no longer afraid to fight back, they're lost.
@mikeharmanos how do you know?
I know because it happened in my city.

We got organized and took away his power.
We won. He lost.
I beat that man like a drum and he’s never run for anything ever since.
that is scary *just* how far the local Republicans got to running the city and community into the ground financially.
@peeppeepcircus Think of all the places where they got away with it.
@mikeharmanos oh I know. Red county gets away with corrupt things because the comfortable GOP majority doesn’t question authority and blindly assumes that GOP officials are working in good faith all the time, so there’s no such thing as accountability. It’s a bonkers mentality.
@peeppeepcircus and although I don’t live in Costa Mesa any more, I do notice that Democrats do a lot better there than they used to.
But it took a crisis and a young man to die to get to that point.
@mikeharmanos so strange how “weird” is sticking to him/them, instead of felon, bigot, racist, rapist...
