Rand Paul called for Alvin Bragg to be thrown in jail if he indicts Trump. This isn’t just a random tweet & @GOP attacks on Bragg aren’t just normal partisan politics. It’s all part of the party’s slide toward authoritarianism… A short 🧵… 1/
Successfully enabling a non-military autocratic takeover requires 3 things: You alter electoral rules to limit the ability of the opposition to win (voter suppression). You weaken or silence dissent (change libel laws, press = enemy of the people, jail journalists). 2/
@Oren_Jacobson @ReallyAmerican1 @GOP No, Rand Paul is a Putin lovin' anti-American senator who hates his country so much he favors tearing down the Rule of Law in America & jailing a locally elected NY DA for investigating Donald Crook Trump.
@Oren_Jacobson @ReallyAmerican1 @GOP wait wut??..the DA is a Soros agent??? a NAZI??? Na Hell no!! something stink$ badd!!
@Oren_Jacobson @ReallyAmerican1 @GOP Man you guys have gone full commie. Dealing 240 years of precedent going after an X POTUS on a charge already looked at and found to be bogus. You want emotional gratification even if it means turning the judicial system upside down.
@Oren_Jacobson @GOP In my country, the party would censure people for deliberate lies & potentially kick them out. Case in point a politician protested against trans with Nazi’s present. She was booted from her Conservative Party this week.
