I know he’s a common boogeyman for various figures on the right but I can’t recall hearing it from the top before. Also, this sort of stuff used to be passed around on mimeographed Birch Society handouts which _real_ officeholders would politely ignore. Looks like the Dipshit in Chief is fully caught up on his QAnon dues. ---

> [@Ambrosio\_Spinola](#): > > Serious question, is this the first time that Trump has been blaming George Soros specifically for anything? It’s the first time he’s tweeted about him, and I think it’s the first time he’s ever shown any personal awareness of him. Soros was shown in one of his 2016 ads, alongside Janet Yellen and Lloyd Blankfein (gosh, I wonder what they all have in common) but Trump never spoke about him. ---

Way to dismiss half of the country. “You don’t hand matches to an arsonist, and you don’t give power to an angry left-wing mob. Democrats have become too EXTREME and TOO DANGEROUS to govern. Republicans believe in the rule of law - not the rule of the mob. VOTE REPUBLICAN!” > ---

(Trump didn’t come up with the ideas in this tweet by himself, obviously.) They see sane people noting that the rule of law is in deadly peril and that the GOP has become extreme and dangerous—and they regurgitate it right back up as an accusation against Democrats. ---

DARVO has been brought up several times in the Kavanaugh mess. It’s the standard Republican MO now. Deny, Accuse the victim, Reverse Victim and Offender. The GOP has more projection than a multiplex. ---

Over and over for 15 minutes. Then of course be tut-tutted because that’d be so very uncivil, for shame. ---
