5/ Sorry, Mitch, but history won’t forget.

You had the power to stop this. You chose not to. And now, all your hand-wringing and weak opposition doesn’t matter-because the authoritarian you protected is undoing democracy in real time.

Too little, too late.

4/ McConnell didn’t just fail to stop Trump—he enabled him at every step when it benefited him politically.

✔️ He blocked impeachment.
✔️ He packed the courts for Trump.
✔️ He looked the other way while democracy was being dismantled.

And now he expects credit for resistance?

3/ Now, McConnell is playing the hero, positioning himself as the lone Republican voice of reason against Trump’s agenda.

He’s voting against Trump’s extreme policies. He’s warning about the dangers. He’s sounding the alarm.

But where was this courage when it actually mattered?

2/ Instead, McConnell let Trump off the hook, claiming the courts and elections would deal with him.

Well, here we are. Trump is back in power, gutting democracy, banning reporters, forcing propaganda, and purging gov’t agencies. This is on you, Mitch.

1/ Let’s be clear: Mitch McConnell is directly responsible for Trump’s return to power.

After the January 6 insurrection, McConnell admitted that Trump was guilty of inciting it. He could have voted to convict him in the Senate trial—ensuring Trump could never run again.

But he didn’t.

8/ This isn’t just about a name.

This is about control. This is about coercion. This is about the erasure of fundamental freedoms.

We have to fight back. Call this out for what it is: authoritarianism in real time.

7/ The worst part? This is a test.

If they can rewrite history, force compliance, and punish journalists over a geographic name, what’s stopping them from doing the same with elections, laws, citizenship, or human rights?

What happens when the press is too afraid to resist?
