Wow, depressingly true post
"The climax of a book is not in the opening paragraph. If Trump acts to remove special counsel Robert Mueller, or Mueller issues a report and it’s smothered behind closed doors, that’s not the beginning of a crisis. That’s the finish line."
"Trump isn’t an exception. He’s not even the tip of the spear. He’s the culmination of an effort to eliminate the greatest threat that those behind the Republican Party see: the lingering possibility that citizens of a democratic country might vote away some part of their wealth, privilege, and power."
"That the representatives of that force in Congress are not moving to stop Trump from carrying the country across a ‘red line’ for democracy isn’t surprising. Like Trump, they’re just anxious to get it over with. Then, just as we still pretend to have an EPA, we can continue to pretend we have a democracy. And everyone will be happy."
