Every Republican active in politics during the Trump era should be remembered based only on where they drew the line.

Did they draw the line when he urged his supporters to shoot Hillary Clinton?

Did they draw the line when he boasted about assaulting women?

Did they draw the line when he encouraged violence against journalists?

Did they draw the line over his ties to Russia?

Did they draw the line when he tore up every global treaty that keeps the world safe?

Did they draw the line when he banned flights from Muslim countries?

Did they draw the line when his administration shredded civil rights for workers, rape survivors, and disabled students?

Did they draw the line when he banned transgender military service because Fox said he should?

Did they draw the line when he forced a tax bill that gave trillions to the rich despite public opposition?

Or did they wait, through ALL OF THOSE THINGS, until he's two weeks from leaving and fomented a violent coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol, and decide, wow, I had no idea he could do something like this, all that other stuff was okay but THIS is a bridge too far?

If you're a Republican, then my respect for you directly depends on how long you took, from the day Donald Trump descended down that escalator in 2015, to realize this guy was a fundamental threat to the basic principles of this country.

If you waited until now...sorry. Nope.
