THE ILL OF THE PEOPLE Does not matter
Traitors to the constitution?
Tragically, most elected Republicans are failing the test by refusing to stand up to Trump. Their cowardice is one of the worst betrayals of public trust in the history of our republic.
Trump is also depending on a Star Wars cantina of lackeys, grifters, sycophants and fruitcakes – including former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Senator Lindsey Graham, GOP trickster Roger Stone and others – whose reputations weren’t great to begin with but will now and forever be tainted by Trump’s moral squalor.
3. The next three weeks are a moment of truth for the Republican Party.
As election officials in contested states certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, verifying that the vote count is accurate and complete, G.O.P. officials from state capitols to Congress will be forced to choose between the will of voters and the will of one man: President Trump.
In pushing his false claims to the limit and forcing Republicans into acquiescence or silence, Mr. Trump has revealed the fragility of the electoral system — and shaken it. Above, supporters of the president in Atlanta on Saturday.
Mr. Trump’s attempt to subvert the election results appears to be growing more futile by the day: Georgia became the first contested state on Friday to certify its vote for Mr. Biden. Michigan lawmakers said they would honor the outcome of the state’s election processafter a White House meeting on Friday. The state’s deadline for certification is Monday.
And as Mr. Trump brazenly seeks to delay the certification of the election, he is also mounting a similarly audacious bid to keep control of the Republican National Committee even after he leaves office.

Republicans do not respect democracy, nor do they respect the constitution. Unrestrained power is their goal.
This situation has highlighted the fact that Republicans are happy to live under authoritarian rule... provided they are in charge.

Gingrich, Graham, McConnell,
Jordan, Nunes, Graham, McConnell, etc. = "against the Democratic process" (to retain power)
Those in the peanut galleries = ignorant cowards
But here's the rub: it stops becoming a spectator's game for the ignorant cowards when reality boomerangs back via having been complicit in shattering the headwaters of the Rule of Law.
