@cmgmyr Yup, Jon just bought one. We’ll be trying it out soon!

@CalebWojcik @seanwes @MattGiovanisci YOU'RE ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME CALEB.

Thanks to @seanwes, @MattGiovanisci, and @CalebWojcik for repeatedly making this suggestion until I listened. 😄

Just updated the professional podcast kit: switched out the Cloudlifter for the DBX 286s:

🎛 I recently made the change myself: much better voice processing. You don't really need the Cloudlifter (as long as your USB audio interface is decent).

@drewhaines3 @RepVernonJones @theblaze Drew: they need to show us the evidence!

You can't bring anyone to court unless you've got evidence.

You can't just allege "something shady" is going on without evidence. (Not random videos from the internet, but actual admissible evidence).

Less rhetoric, more hard facts.

@drewhaines3 @GeoffTRoberts @BeardAboutIt @mubashariqbal A random video from the internet, where the (unidentified) narrator makes a claim about an election worker is not *evidence*.

Trump says we can't trust the media, election workers, election commissioners, the courts, the state legislatures...

But random twitter accounts are ok?

@venikunche What the fuck!!?! This guy is terrible.

@dvassallo @Mqsley @ggreenwald I’m not certain that Trump matches the classic definition of “fascist.”

But the semantics don’t matter in the sense that he is objectively toxic and inept on multiple fronts.

David Duke also had hundreds of thousands of voters who were also wrong.

It’s ok to point that out.

@dvassallo @Mqsley @ggreenwald Btw - I’m making a big deal of this because I know (and love) people who supported Trump.

Half my family in Ohio voted for him.

But also, my Uncle (who supported Trump, and believed his early lies about the pandemic) recently died from COVID.

@dvassallo @Mqsley @ggreenwald Our role as a rational society is to call out bad actors, and the people who support them.

Obviously, there has to be limits to this (we don’t want “witch hunt hysteria”), but when a truly bad actor shows up, we need to identify them as such (and call out their supporters).

@dvassallo @Mqsley @ggreenwald He is similar to Hitler, in that Hitler used the democratic process to gain power. Millions of people supported him.

Similarly, millions of people are supporting a different kind of tyrant in Trump.

I’m not discounting the value of these people; but millions can be deceived.

@dvassallo @Mqsley @ggreenwald I’m not saying that Trump is “exactly like Hitler.”

But he is objectively bad, on multiple fronts: climate change, science denial, racism (“shit hole countries”), covid response, destroying democratic institutions, amplifying conspiracies, sowing division and mania.

@dvassallo @ggreenwald Fireworks all over Europe. Church bells in Paris.

Here in Canada, cheers.

I agree that Bush was bad (I feared him too). But Trump was also bad (in different ways).

I’m continually surprised when rational people try to rationalize his leadership.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/524962-fireworks-in-london-edinburgh-as-biden-win-celebrated-abroad

@dvassallo I don’t want to debate semantics.

The whole world is celebrating because the USA just ejected a clearly toxic and dangerous individual from office.

It’s important that we identify him (and label him) as such.

Otherwise, we’re rationalizing his behavior and the harm he’s caused

Lol. Look who’s on Facebook’s suggested GIFs page today?

@SachaGreif Really good summary. 👍

@KingDogDad lol. Yes!

@timsoulo Bjorn’s arguments seem simplistic and reductive.

The science around the potential damage is pretty clear, and we’re already seeing worse droughts, fires, storms, and floods.

@jhooks @visualempathy omg. That’s the election balm I need right now. 😋

@ianlandsman My family in Ohio voted for Trump. I’ve got to hold out hope that they can see this for what it is.

Here’s the City Clerk (who is a Republican!) responding to RNC claims of voter fraud in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

There were no missing ballots.

Trump supporters: I’m still calling you out here. You should be decrying the RNC’s lies publicly. https://twitter.com/TinaLBarton/status/1324868768342962183

If you want a break from the election, I just listened to @leenyburger and @mjwhansen’s “feelings” episode and it was so good!

@dvassallo I think you’re being reductive.

When a sitting President encourages armed extremists to “liberate” their state, that’s dangerous.

When he calls Mexicans “rapists,” that’s racist.

When he claims he won an election early, that’s authoritarianism.

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/trump-s-liberate-tweets-extremists-see-call-arms-n1186561

@dvassallo @JustinSaaS I’m not so sure about that...

https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/13/politics/donald-trump-executive-orders/index.html

@dvassallo Daniel, my question is: when can we call a spade a spade?

How bad does an individual leader have to be before we can label them as such?

Through a series of elections, Hitler’s Nazi party rose to power.

How and when should we label a leader as dangerous?

@dvassallo Here’s the challenge for our society then: when an authoritarian presents himself, how do we clearly evaluate that threat, and call people out on it?

How do we not repeat what happened with Mussolini, Putin, etc?

@dvassallo I don’t buy your reasoning, because Trump is plainly incorrigible and incompetent.

(They would never hire this guy to be their CEO)

When you’re voting for leader of the country, you don’t vote for the authoritarian.

(They could have abstained their vote too.)

RT @MoreWillie: this guy doesn’t even understand how counting works - it’s a miracle we still have a country left. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1324855496722026498

Look at the contrast between these two.

I'm not a huge Biden fan, but he's light-years more reasonable than Trump.

(Trump voters: how can you stay ignorant while he spouts this shit? How do you rationalize it?)

There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

@IAmSunnyDan In that quote, Carl Sagan uses the President as his example of “authority.”

You can have a hypothesis, but it needs to be supported by facts.

https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/01/03/baloney-detection-kit-carl-sagan/

@IAmSunnyDan I’m open to any possibility.

But to substantiate a claim you have to have facts and real sources.

For example. Reporting by the BBC goes through all of the claims of fraud with mail-in voting.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53353404

@IAmSunnyDan Sorry, did you just reference a credit card pamphlet and an anonymous Twitter account as your primary sources?

@drewhaines3 @charliekirk11 Where’s the evidence? All I hear is hearsay about provisional ballots.

He provides no evidence.

The former Governor of Pennsylvania (and a Republican!) called this out right away: https://twitter.com/GovRidge/status/1324515990697365505

@jeremyvaught 🙏 thank you

@IAmSunnyDan There’s no reasonable suspicion yet by anyone credible.

Who, besides the President’s entourage, is saying this?

What proof have they presented?

Show me your references Dan!

@drewhaines3 After claiming voter fraud in 2016, Trump’s own commission on voter fraud found no voter fraud.

We’ve seen this tape play before Drew!

@drewhaines3 The state already replied to that claim:

TRUMP’S OWN COMMISSION ON VOTER FRAUD FOUND NO VOTER FRAUD.

@drewhaines3 Did you watch the same press conference as everyone else? https://twitter.com/axios/status/1324696815904710656

Ok, now even FOX NEWS is calling out Trump’s lies.

Strangely, my family and friends who voted for him still haven’t said anything...

https://twitter.com/zoeschlanger/status/1324722753581293570?s=21

If a democratic country is having an election, and then the leader of that country goes on TV and says “the election is rigged” (but has no proof) that’s a big problem.

Y’all see that, right?

@IAmSunnyDan Dude.

The PRESIDENT should not make allegations of large-scale fraud (and theft of the election) without evidence.

He’s sowing discord and mania. https://twitter.com/NateRockQuarry/status/1324484399052677120

The only person I’ve seen is Ben Shapiro (of all people!): https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1323890527767416834

@Jonny_Goodwin @bkorte Bad take Jonny.

That’s like saying Putin or Mussolini were “good” because their policies on paper seemed reasonable.

Trump is currently trying to cancel votes. He’s clearly and visibly authoritarian.

@LinusEkenstam 🎯

@adii What do you use? I’m using Transferwise.

@DallinCoons From every angle, Trump is incompetent and incorrigible.

We have 4 years of evidence that shows who he is.

He is, at this very moment, trying to stop the election process and ongoing vote counts.

That is the very definition of authoritarian.

@adii When you say "stagger" is there a systematic way to do that? Or, do you just stagger your conversions manually?

@ddale8 @ianlandsman Can you repost this on your FB page? I'd like to share it there too.

@ianlandsman @mikelbring Are they just waiting to arrest him? Like, do they have charges and court cases ready to go?

@cgenco @daverodenbaugh @punchlinecopy Yes.

Example: we shouldn’t tolerate Nazism.

A vote for Trump is a vote for authoritarianism. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1324353932022480896

(Living next to a deranged gangster with the largest army in the world is not fun)

@theashguy There’s a time for understanding and bridge-building, for sure.

But right now, I’m looking squarely at my family and friends who voted for this gangster.

If they voted for Mussolini or Putin I’d be calling them out too.

@cgenco I agree.

But we’ve had 4 years of Trump. We’ve seen who he is.

He is not just “sort of bad”

If my friends were voting for Mussolini or Putin I would call them out too.

There’s a threshold for what is “reasonable.” Trump blows right past that limit. Let’s call a spade a spade.

@jitbit Canada checking in.

RT @annehelen: The sadness, to me, is that people looked around at our current moment and said “this, I want more of THIS”

@cforsythdev I see what you’re saying (people clearly have their reasons).

If we’re going to get semantic: there’s no *good* justification for voting for Trump.

@cforsythdev This isn’t about “another party/person.”

This is about Trump.

It’s purely about whether *he* should be the one to hold the highest office, the nuclear codes, the covid response, and the response to climate change.

@cforsythdev I said there’s no justification for voting for *him* in particular (not talking Republican be Dem).

Do you have a justification you want to stand behind?

@frodeknutsen That tweet is disingenuous.

C’mon man. https://t.co/JmoZDuRCEq

@cforsythdev I’m talking about judging a leader by the content of his character: what he repeatedly says and does.

If we can’t agree that someone this bad is “bad,” than there’s no hope.

@frodeknutsen That comparison doesn’t fly.

Trump stands apart from all other politicians.

He is uniquely awful, in ways that others aren’t.

There’s a scale of bad, and he breaks the scale.

@cforsythdev At what point can we call a spade a spade, and label a truly incorrigible man as such?

There is no justification for voting for Trump.

From every angle, he is contemptible and incompetent.
