Eric...I followed you on Twitter as a newbie to the platform these past few months. So, I think I get it with Barr's shenanigans. I always try to imagine what is happening in the 'back room' with these guys. McConnell is essentially using his "political skills" and engaging with Barr (he hates Trump) while both conspire to delegitimize Biden? Who are these people? After the 2016 election, a family member who is a woman of color said something that has stuck with me ever since November 4th, 2016, "WOWWW...ya'll hate us this much". It's true...white people really don't want equity with anyone who is not white...including Barr, The Tea Party, Pompeo, Emily Murphy, DeJoy and on and on. This is WAR their war on Race, pure and simple...The english language has no word for my contempt for all of them.

The American rightwing is deeply divided between dog-whistle libertarians and bullhorn libertarians – conservatives who tolerate racist allies to get tax cuts vs. conservatives who ARE racists and want/tolerate tax cuts for their wealthy allies. It is that division which threatens to sink the GOP candidates in Georgia, plus Stacey Abrams' phenomenal organizing efforts. Looking forward to Jan 5th.
