Decades of GOP failure critical to understanding the moment. What have they really done in past 30 yrs?
Blocked sensible immigration reform, prevented action on climate, infrastructure? 3 recessions, huge deficits? Revived white supremacy, appeased Putin, attacked US democracy?

Dems offered a carbon tax in 1993, immigration reform in 2005, infrastructure forever ago, universal coverage been debated for decades.....abuse of the filibuster has contributed to GOP becoming nihilistic, not connected to governing. It's a recipe for American decline.
Behind this generation long GOP abandonment of responsibility/virtue is McConnell, a deeply venal, corrupt man. He's the chief architect of the GOP's descent. Thru the abuse of the filibuster he invented a place for Rs to go which didn't include governing.

McConnell's extraordinary decision to prevent witnesses/evidence at a Constitutionally mandated Impeachment trial was perhaps the defining moment of his career.
It was a betrayal of our democracy as great as Jan 6th; it was a crossing of the Rubicon.
