“The GOP was already moving toward being an authoritarian party when Trump came along,” says @ruthbenghiat, but Trump turned Republicans to a model “built on loyalty rather than expertise... and all of this is coming home to roost.”

The key to restoring sanity in our political system is to make Republican lawmakers more afraid of losing general elections than they are of losing primaries. We failed to do that in 2020. As long as we keep failing, they'll keep behaving the way they're behaving.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the Russians hack the RNC server too? Tяump has blackmail material on every one of these GOP sycophants. Dunno why y’all don’t talk about it.

People in leadership should be courageous. Otherwise they are not leaders, they only respond to the fear stimulus.
