What I don’t understand is the willingness, or perhaps interest in having a government run by a tyrant, by the American people. How is that a great way to live? If someone did a survey and asked questions like:
• Do you think an authoritarian form of government is better than a democratic one?
• Can you think of a country with authoritarianism as its basic philosophy, which is a great place to live?
• Are you attracted to governments where bribery is what greases the wheels?
I’m sure there are other (better) questions, but it would be interesting to see what the average American really thinks.
If the Senate can’t get its act together and pass voting rights laws, it’s curtains for our democracy.
The GOP is methodically arranging things in all the states they control so that next time the COUP will succeed. They are taking over election administration wherever they can and where they can’t, kicking out the honest officials who refused to steal it last time.
It is a dangerous moment. The only way to break the logjam is to get rid of the filibuster.
