Just a quick review:
1. This Republican President has unlimited authority to defy all subpoenas, lawsuits, and other legal proceedings. The proposed remedy is an impeachment.
2. This Republican President has unlimited authority to defy all witness subpoenas and document production during impeachment proceedings. The proposed remedy is an election.
3. This Republican Party is actively working to limit voter registration, ballot access, and proportional Electoral College allocation, while engaging in gerrymandering of districts and other anti-democratic efforts which prevent every voter from being counted and overturn efforts to ensure their votes count equally. The proposed remedy is to allow Republicans to continue rigging, cheating, and interfering with elections, ensuring the installation of Republican Presidents against the will of the American people.
This is the formula for perpetual minority rule under the framework of a one party, authoritarian state. And so long as Republican voters believe such a system benefits themselves and punishes their perceived enemies, they will unrelentingly support it.
These are the most exciting, dangerous, complex, strange times in history. This blog is my attempt to navigate through it.
