Steve Schmidt Goes Viral as He Ruthlessly Takes on ‘EVIL’ Ultra-MAGA: ‘They are a Mob of Thugs, Conspiracy Theorists, Fascists, Crooks, Weirdos and Scumbags!’
Steven Schmidt is a complicated guy.
For years and years, he was part of the Republican problem, having run the McCain campaign. These were post-Bush Republicans, and the voter I.D. stuff and Citizen’s United were in the works (Citizen’s United was decided in 2010, the court case was filed years earlier), and we were bombing brown people under Republican leadership. But John McCain was also a man who took the microphone out of an old lady’s hand who had said Obama “isn’t even a citizen and was born in Kenya” and McCain said “No, ma’am. He is a good man whom I disagree with.” It was a different time.
Schmidt recognized the Trump movement for what it was, immediately. It was racism as a spear for fascism and he predicted Trump’s moves at every stage. In response, Schmidt helped form a movement of former Republicans against Trump and they make a lot of money in that movement. He has endured some criticism for that even though they could make a lot more money sticking to the Right side of things. They are also fearless and relentless.
Schmidt also saw what everyone else saw. Russia was feeding money in the NRA – which suddenly went bankrupt and politicians don’t really count anymore after the discovery was made, to buy Republican politicians. Trump was obviously compromised, Johnson, Tucker, Tulsi (former Democrat) and Marjorie are now fighting on Russia’s behalf, carefully, as Russia butchers Ukraine.
Two days ago, Biden called out the United States’ problem with the “ultra -MAGA” position, and we noted that it was good to see Biden fight because that is all the MAGAs know. But we were then told by Republicans that this was uncivil and that Biden was senile and bad for calling out fellow Americans.

Schmidt has had enough. He wants to see Democrats fighting much harder, including Biden because he sees fascism just two years away.
He broke Twitter and is trending near the top.
The idea that is unhinged to respond to insanity or that it is the response that spreads the insanity is an extremely stupid idea. It is what has crippled an able President and turned him into a senile cartoon with an approval level in the 30’s. https://t.co/NUpU0NBuyP

3/ @potus is facing the most sophisticated, coordinated, venomous, dishonest, divisive and insane propaganda machine in American history,
bar none. It is ruthless, coordinated and determined to take power. It is strategic and purposeful. It is immensely dangerous and yes, EVIL— Steve Schmidt (@SteveSchmidtSES) May 10, 2022
5/ if he doesn’t reject this almost immediately, then the notion that he will be the Dem Nominee in 24 on the basis of Incumbency is as equally delusional as Trumps claims that he can drink water with one hand.

7/ For this we have to go back to the 1930’s when Nazi Germany was quickly rearming in violation of all manner of disarmament treaties in the 1920’s. What happened? Did the US, England and France start rearming?

9/ The world was on fire by 1939. This stupid idea, that Trump and extreme MAGA only exist if there name is said out loud is delusional. @potus won the Presidency by 45000 votes across three states. If this deliberate philosophy of ignoring and not confronting the nuts is not

11/ That would be a tragedy beyond fixing and would consign our children to a small and much darker world. They will be joyful though. Their parents weren’t unhinged. That is what they will be told. They will be told it is crazy to speak out and insane to fight back. No thanks
