Fascinating post. It does a middling job of dancing around the issue, but kinda comes up short at the end.

This part in particular, when you...basically argue on my side:
If this is a slap then January 6th was a body blow. And wouldn’t it be great if the Republican Party had somebody strong enough to sidle up to the Orange man and say “You know, you’re demented. You’re old. You’re spewing nonsense. You’ve cost us elections in 2018, 2020, 2022, and it looks like maybe 2024. Maybe you should exit and give some new blood a chance.”

You see, Trump ran in an open primary system and was chosen by Republican voters. The Republican party then honored that choice.

Now contrast that with what the democrats have done. Joe Biden ran in an open primary system and won, too. But the party told every one of its voters that their choice was IRRELEVANT.

Let that sink in. A party that tries to trash-talk about "democracy" just bent over its own menbers.
