Do not lose sight of the fact that - notwithstanding their panicked calls to Meadows - the majority of the @HouseGOP voted to overturn the election just hours later and their media shills acquiesced.
There is a deep, anti-democratic rot that has infected their party. Most are traitors. The rest are cowards. It is a righteous and welcome thing in a democracy to disagree on policy. It is something else entirely to disagree on democracy itself.
@GOPLeader couldn't lead his way out of a paper bag. He will not save them. The media is too obsessed with both sides-ism to acknowledge the rot.
There are a few of us in the Democratic party who have been outspoken about this for a long time. But when it is partisan to defend the Constitution, our voices will be damped by those who blast us as insufficiently bipartisan.
Madison warned of the limitations innate to "parchment barriers. A Constitution is only as strong as our collective will to defend it.
If you love our democracy. If you benefit from a rule of law. If you agree that the only way to resolve hard issues is majority will... then we need your voice.
