"At least 140 House Republicans to vote against counting electoral votes" - we're at the edge of the precipice; a major party is on verge of refusing to accept the result of an election cnn.com/2020/12/31/pol…. This is how Trump is warping incentives.
Per @BenSasse: "in private, I haven’t heard a single Congressional Republican allege that the election results were fraudulent - not one. Instead, I hear them talk about their worries about how they will 'look' to President Trump’s most ardent supporters." facebook.com/SenatorSasse/p…
BTW @bensasse's letter about the dangerous attempt to overturn the election is compelling and an absolute must-read facebook.com/SenatorSasse/p…, though the fact that he has only mustered the courage to speak up again after being re-elected is precisely the problem.
It's all so dangerous and irresponsible

More and more Rs are openly opposing the peaceful transfer of power based on a fictitious premise. What will they do in 2024 if they control both chambers of Congress?

I don't know the conditional probability to put on this - 5%? - but it's not zero and that should worry every American

Not just Trumpists. That’s the danger.
