Fine distinction between requiring that everything serve a cause and enforcing a party line. Maybe no distinction at all. Free @Atrios**!

Trump “wanted a National Guard presence, but it appeared he wanted the troops as extra protection for his supporters.” OK. But if he were planning a violent assault, why would Trump want any Guard around at all? (Unless he planned to repurpose them) https://t.co/5ysU9GT7Fy

I dunno. I know several competent people who applied for Trump jobs. They weren’t even considered. Why? Apparently Reince Priebus was doing the hiring, and he wasn’t hiring Trump supporters. Have someone else do the hiring and you never know … https://t.co/foGzauOopq

If Trump had eked out a victory in 2020 (under circumstances Dems considered questionable) how much violence would there have been? Answer: A whole lot. Not just a few Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, I think. https://t.co/BmdxlJCrbO
