Gonna post a rundown of my last three pieces. All this week, because of just everything happening.
Here’s my take on Georgia, which eerily became The Quiet Place for GOP realists. Utter a word against Trump and dark forces will hunt you down. https://thebulwark.com/georgia-is-a-quiet-place-for-republicans/
What made me think about this? The fact that Lin freaking Wood is now some GOP power player who can’t be crossed in the Peach State. Insanity.
Here’s what I wrote when Hawley came out as the leader of the Senate Kraken Caucus. He wants you to think he’s a Very Serious Person but he’s no different than Marjorie Taylor Greene. https://thebulwark.com/josh-hawley-is-madison-cawthorn-is-marjorie-taylor-greene/
And then McConnell came out, acting like the vote to certify should be some agonizing choice, green lighting the Kraken Caucus to do whatever. https://thebulwark.com/mcconnells-conscience-crisis/
So yeah, you can see this slow rolling democratic disaster in action. All because people want to play to Trump’s deranged delusion of a stolen election. Because no one wants to risk losing opportunity or status to do the right thing.
This. This! Is Trumpism in a nutshell: The willingness to engage in, or tolerate unhinged conspiracies in pursuit of political power. And it most certainly is not confined to Trump. -The end-
