      And you are very trusting of the other side who banned people from going to church for a year. Sorry, man. I’m out.

      There is no reason whatsoever to think I trust those people. Hell, I just wrote a piece on that very issue! But I believe - do you? - that there are voters & prospective voters in the United States other than hard-shell leftists & diehard personal loyalists of Donald J. Trump.

      Sure. Like 90%. But there’s no you on the other side, Dan. That’s the problem.

      On the other side? No. In the middle? Yes, there are people you can win over, people who will flock to your banner for a day, if not for every season. The kinds of people Lincoln & Reagan recruited to their causes.

      The “other side” is full of people with certainly as much integrity and fealty to democracy as you. Or do you not think,to mention a salient example today, Jaimie Raskin is such a person? Serious question.

      What is your example of Raskin facing the wrath of his party's voters to hold a leading Democrat to account?

      I thought the standard we were discussing was fealty to the constitution and to American democracy. As for “facing the wrath of [a] party’s voters”, I don’t think many modern politicians from either party pass that test. Do you?

      Dave's point is that we should be like the Democrats and side blindly with our own all the time, no matter what they do. I'm disagreeing with that.

      Right—but that’s just empirically false. The Dems recently forced the resignation of a very popular senator, Al Franken. They also, around the same time, forced the resignation of a prominent long term member of Congress, John Conyers.

      They forced out Franken only when they knew they could safely replace him with a D. Ditto Conyers. Something like the Never Trump movement would be impossible - inconceivable - on the D side.

          They did what they had to do. Well, a crackpot, authoritarian, revanchist, financially corrupt moral monster of Trump’s world historic scale is impossible within the Democratic Party. And there is no “Never Trump” *movement*—just never Trump writers. The Party supports Trump.

          “Impossible”? “Inconceivable”? Wouldn’t you have said the same about GOP conduct since the elections? Filing groundless lawsuits? Ignoring the results? Promoting conspiracy theories? Encouraging political violence? It seems one must discard assumptions - even of your opponents.

          The GOP could have rid itself of Trump & had Mike Pence as President running for re-election. They chose not to. They could force out MTG & get another R. They choose not to.
