    Jeet Heer Retweeted The New York Times

    There was a brief moment on Jan. 6 and a few days after when the GOP elite could have rejected Trump. They didn't except in vague tut-tutting, which means party was inevitably going to embrace Jan. 6https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1489670105768370177 …

        Jeet Heer Retweeted The New York Times

        While talk of a new civil war is overheated, it has to be understood that GOP that embraces Jan. 6 points towards a future where democracy will be increasingly besieged and curtailed.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1489670105768370177 …

        they had no real reason, not like they're going to be punished for not rejecting him and there's a decent chance they would've been if they did. the failure is systemic.

        This is for the benefit of the Ottawa and Alberta occupiers as well, who are desperate for legitimacy, find the 6th aspirational, and are more than willing to deliver Canada to gop-favoured interests
