Steve Schmidt Denounces Trump Election Denial Enablers
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
This is a moment of global jubilation and profound relief. It is also a moment that requires vigilance and presence. This decision will kill Americans at a moment when Covid is raging. This will be a miserable winter of death in our country. The actions real target is American democracy. This is the first meaningful action in an attempt to kill it. I’m going to use a word with intention. Sedition. That is the appropriate word to describe the actions of @newtgingrich @LindseyGrahamSC @RudyGiuliani @TomCottonAR as they hurl baseless conspiracy theories with no evidence of voter fraud whatsoever.
Their actions are despicable and profoundly UNAMERICAN. The failure of incumbent GOP elected officials to congratulate the President-Elect is disgraceful. It is dangerous. It is unprecedented in the history of the country. This is thuggish and authoritarian behavior. It is not acceptable in America. The bad faith and dishonesty of the GOP majority in Washington at this moment is appalling. Apparently Trump’s ego needs sating so he is going to start holding more super spreader rallies that will kill people as he takes a sledgehammer to the American people’s faith and belief in the legitimacy of the system with his blizzard of lies and conspiracy nonsense.
What we are seeing is astounding. Senior American elected officials are refusing to accept the will of the American people. This may be playing out as a farce for now but we should all watch with wariness. We are witnessing an authoritarian moment. It won’t succeed. This time. But it is here and it has rooted itself in the soil of our polity. This is the essence of Trumpism. It is an authoritarian movement and a cult of personality. It has fascistic markers and teems with menace and extremism. Sadly, it is here to stay.
@ProjectLincoln will fight on the side of American democracy and liberty. Here, the people are Sovereign. We choose our leaders and fire them when they fail. American soil is a bitter place for tyrants and autocrats. Trump has been defeated. Yet, the damage he has done will endure and he is not yet done vandalizing America and defacing his high office. There is light At the end of the tunnel but these next 70 days will be very hard. Trump is going to do things that will weaken our democracy for a generation over the next weeks. We are watching the greatest conspiracy theory of all time forming before our eyes— right now. That of course is The baseless idea that the election was stolen from Trump. It will be an article of faith in the GOP and belief in it will be table stakes for every 24 candidate. What a tragedy for America.

The thing that caused Schmidt's twitter thread was news that a Trump loyalist at the GSA is refusing to release funding for the presidential transition.
Activate the 25th before it is too late.
Still believing in sellouts it seems?
They need to stay as relevant as they can for as long as they can. Their meal ticket is going to dry up fast now that the election is over. Quick send them some more money- they will do and say whatever you want, just don't stop the gravy train!
The clock is ticking, the Lincoln project founders are sweating; whoever will save them from themselves?
He's making decent change with MSNBC
and as long as Trump intends to keep having rallies, he will keep people like Steve relevant, maybe all the way to 2024.
