Since the day Sarah Palin called white conservatives “Real Americans,” I have been vociferously warning people about the danger of allowing that mindset to flourish & ossify.
What happened yesterday was the tantrum of people who believe they are the “real” Americans because they

It is this mindset that justifies voter suppression, gerrymandering, unequal policing and justice standards, ignoring Congressional acts from a Dem majority, and insisting that votes from black communities be thrown out.
At base, it’s white supremacist having a
Their only gambit at power is to destroy the very concept of majority rule, and to enshrine control by the racist minority.
They worship Trump because he was the first
They love Trump because he is their flavor of both ruthless and immoral.
We MUST
And once we do,we have NO CHOICE but to hold every single Trump enabler accountable & strip them of power. Because the failure of the coup of Incels does not signify the death of that world view.

I assert right now that we SHOULD NOT be listening to the passive political leaders who allowed us to get here with their preference for placating an angry creature.
We should listen to the folks (including me) who warned us at every step on this path
We were RIGHT.
We were always RIGHT.
And America should listen to the people who were right, not those we were very very wrong.
Never again should we underestimate the threat posed by white supremacist, and never again should we countenance appeasement as a way

I've seen many news articles cite that "the UK variant could be the dominant strain by March". This is emphasized by @CDCDirector.
While this will likely to be the case, this should not be an automatic cause for concern. Cases could still remain contained.
Here's how: 🧵
One of @CDCgov's own models has tracked the true decline in cases quite accurately thus far.
Their projection shows that the B.1.1.7 variant will become the dominant variant in March. But interestingly... there's no fourth wave. Cases simply level out:

Just because a variant becomes the dominant strain does not automatically mean we will see a repeat of Fall 2020.
Let's look at UK and South Africa, where cases have been falling for the past month, in unison with the US (albeit with tougher restrictions):
Furthermore, the claim that the "variant is doubling every 10 days" is false. It's the *proportion of the variant* that is doubling every 10 days.
If overall prevalence drops during the studied time period, the true doubling time of the variant is actually much longer 10 days.
Simple example:
Day 0: 10 variant / 100 cases -> 10% variant
Day 10: 15 variant / 75 cases -> 20% variant
Day 20: 20 variant / 50 cases -> 40% variant
1) Proportion of variant doubles every 10 days
2) Doubling time of variant is actually 20 days
3) Total cases still drop by 50%
