Right now Republicans are going on TV every night and calling the election a fraud.

Meanwhile, the Democrat who just won by millions of votes, and his entire party, are still in their perpetual defensive huddle, afraid to use any tool of government to protect themselves.
I’m not “imagining” any tools. You can subpoena the GSA heads. You can subpoena the resigned DOJ attorney and other members of DOJ. You can impeach Barr. You do not have to simply sit and wait for all crises to resolve themselves. https://twitter.com/amandamarcotte/status/1326168364708982786?s=21

Democrats’ job isn’t to keep tempers down and make sure everyone gets along while the GOP punches democracy in the face. Democrats’ job is to secure their ability to govern and to protect the election system of this country.
Smugly nodding to one another about how Trump is throwing a temper tantrum and we’ll just deal with grown-up issues while he wears himself out is how we got in this mess. At some point, you have to respond, even if it’s just to set a precedent that they don’t have infinite rope.
