Good thread. I just want to add: "rising above", behaving decently, in no way precludes calling out bad behavior. It does require thinking hard before you criticize, because you might be wrong. It also requires not being needlessly venomous. BUT ...
2 ... being a decent person does not require keeping silent when you believe, after due reflection, that someone has done something genuinely wrong. Quite the opposite.

McConnell has subverted our political norms (cough, Merrick Garland, cough.)
3/ He has blocked election protection bills at a time when we are under attack. When Obama wanted to deliver a bipartisan warning about election interference in 2016, McConnell said he'd make it a partisan issue.

Criticizing this behavior is what decency requires.
