I don't agree with a lot of Harris policies. But I disagree with trying to steal an election so strongly that that's irrelevant. Respecting the peaceful transfer of power is a foundational issue in democracy: if you don't have that, nothing else matters.

It's a real problem if a party's primary electorate is highly gullible, largely amoral, and almost exclusively motivated by resentment and revenge

Yes, you can have a tidy native-plant garden. Here are some tips

Surprise, surprise… Reminder: If you believe in the rule of law and our Constitution, this is how you react to a jury verdict. MAGA, take notes!

so many Republicans support the Constitution only when it helps them, elections only when they win, the rule of law only when it ensnares their political opponents

Justice is served. Guilty on all counts after being tried before a jury of his peers. Trump was allowed to try the facts, input on jury selection, call witnesses, and present his case—just like the rest of us. He’s now a convicted felon. Truth & the rule of law had their day.
