QOTD -- The Main Show

"Trump’s attack on the election wasn’t and isn’t a sideshow. As far as American democracy is concerned, this is the main show. A democracy at grave risk one day cannot be pronounced healthy the next. The precedents Trump has set, the doubts he has sown, and the claims he has made will linger. Restoring faith in the democratic process will take time and effort—and a favorable result is by no means guaranteed." -- Uri Friedman in The Atlantic, on the damage to American democracy that Trump and the vast majority of two- legged Republican rats enabling him are doing in their desperate attempts to hold onto political power.  It's all of them, in their Dominionist, minoritarian, eliminationist fury to hobble majority rule and a functioning democracy.
